Katherine is desperate. Her family is in financial ruin and she will do anything to protect her mother and sisters. She transforms herself into "Kitty", a much more outgoing and outrageous person than she normally is. She also lets the ton think that she is engaged to the Duke of Thornton. The reclusive duke has never shown his face in town when the other rumors started about him, so Kitty thinks she will be save from retribution. She just wants the connection to the duke to go long enough for her sisters to find good matches and to save her family from ruin. She didn't count on the duke showing up in London and calling her bluff.
Having been scarred and confined to a wheelchair after an accident, Alexander has been secluded at his estate for many years. Which is why is comes as a shock to hear that he has a fiancée. But the more he learns about his "fiancée", the more intrigued he becomes. So much so that he ventures down to London when he hasn't been there in years. After meeting Kitty in person, he decides he wants her for himself, so he makes a bargain with her...
Neither ever thought to get married, but could this fake engagement lead to an everlasting love?
I absolutely loved Kitty and Alexander's story!! I loved that Kitty would do anything for her family, even invent a fiancé! I loved that she stood up to the beastly side of Alexander and made him see that his injury didn't define him. I just loved these two together!! This was a phenomenal start to Reid's newest series and I can't wait to read the stories to come!
