A Perfect Engagement (The Maidens of Marbury Book 1)

When Charlotte Grisham is rescued from a runaway carriage by a gentleman, she believes fate has brought her the ideal match. The Marquis of Hawksridge is titled, handsome, and heroic—everything her parents desire in a husband. She soon finds herself engaged to be married. Daniel Weston is shocked that his identical twin brother is marrying a woman he scarcely knows, and he wants to skip his own engagement party. He agrees to attend a week-long house party in his brother's place for just a few days, reviving a childhood habit of the twins pretending to be each other. What could go wrong? Charlotte quickly discovers the deception but maintains the pretense to prevent anyone from learning her fiancé has essentially abandoned her. She maintains an appearance of perfect propriety. Yet perfect girls do not exchange passionate kisses with men other than their betrothed. Charlotte understands her duty, but her heart pulls in another direction.
