The Unexpected Wife

Emily Hendrickson

Fleeing an arranged marriage to a drunken gambler, a fair young woman takes refuge on the country estate of the most notorious rake in London. With the master of the house away, she simply pretends to be the handsome man's wife. Unexpectedly, he returns, for he himself is in hiding from a voracious husband hunter. Upon hearing her plight, he agrees to join the charade. But when his heart turned to the greatest scandal a rake could imagine -- true love -- would the false marriage become a rehearsal for the real thing?
