The second book in M.C. Beaton’s charming Regency Flame series.

He stated quite bluntly – and much to Isabella’s relief – that theirs would be a marriage in name only. But neither Harry nor Isabella was aware of the other’s disguise – contrived in vain to thwart the impending nuptials. Isabella was not the selfish ice princess she seemed, nor was Harry a mincing dandy, but a prime Corinthian.

A search for buried treasure and a thwarted suitor out for revenge add adventure to the marital mayhem, as two hearts discover that love lies no farther than the nearest kiss.

Searching for lighter romances set in the English countryside? Look no farther than the Regency Flame Series, which features mistaken identities, botched marriages, witty heroines, and the courtship of prime Corinthians.
