If there is ever a time to be wicked, it is when a lady is considered an unmarriageable wallflower.

Firmly regulated on the shelf as a wallflower, Miss Felicity Harrington has little hope for her future. Unwilling to remain as a lady's companion forever, she accepted a devilish earl's outrageous offer that she pretends to be his fiancée for a few weeks.

Phineas Lambton, the Earl of Wyndham, will only marry when he is ready. To escape his family's frequent ridiculous attempts at forcing his hand, it seemed a brilliant plan to invent a fake fiancée until his grandmother's waning health forces him to produce his mysterious bride-to-be. Despite tender touches, long walks, and arousing kisses with the delightful Miss Harrington, Phineas knows everything between them is merely a pretense.

Little did he suspect that his entire world was about to be complicated by one wickedly alluring wallflower and a scheming matchmaking grandmother.
