Accidental Fiancee by Mary Moore

Lady Grace Endicott has an independent streak and is of a practical bent.  She has no desire to marry and is quite content to run her father’s estate.  Her only thought is to attend her sister’s come-out, see her safely married and return home.  But her attempt to rescue an unknown man from the heartless plot to compromise him, leaves her in a compromising position of her own.

Brandon Roth, Lord Weston is used to the machinations of husband hunting women.  That one would try to warn him about a plot to put him in a compromising situation was unusual, to say the least.  Are was it?  Since the Lady had so brazenly approached him in a public setting, she had done the very thing she had set out to warn him about.

So starts the journey of Grace and Brandon.  Of course, they must announce a betrothal even though it is a sham.  In acting out the part of a couple, they learn things about each other that they don’t show to the world. A true friendship grows.

Her practicality and his penchant for teasing just to get a rise out of her definitely move the story forward.

Ms. Moore did an excellent job of bringing the story to life.  It is well written and always moving forward.  You are there in Regency times walking the journey with them.

Accidental Fiancée is a good read.
