A long-engaged couple is about to wed out of a sense of duty—but someone has other plans in a rollicking Regency by the New York Times–bestselling author.

Mary and the earl have been promised to each other for a decade—and after a long separation the time has finally come for them to go through with it, in spite of the fact that their ardor has cooled. Anything else would be dishonorable...

But Mary’s sister, Emily, believes the marriage would be a mistake—and concocts an outrageous wedding-day scheme that will cause trouble for everyone involved—in this entertaining Regency romance originally published under the name Marion Chesney.
