"Ms Boyles best Regency romance novel yet!"
Con artist extraordinaire Emmaline Denford relishes her new
role as the miraculously recovered invalid, Baroness
Sedgwick. If she can play this role for a fortnight without
exposure, Emmaline's future will be secure. The main
obstacle to her success is convincing her surprised husband
to go along with the impersonation. It took careful planning, but five years ago, Alexander
Denford, Baron Sedgwick, invented a subservient and sickly
wife, which kept marriage-minded women from harassing him.
His imaginary wife enables him to live the quiet life he
craves. When his faux wife arrives in his bedchamber, Alex
could not be more astonished. This wily minx strikes a hard
bargain with him and proceeds to charm those around him.
Emmaline transforms his dreary house into a warm home and
casts her spell on him with her beauty and indomitable
spirit. Alex quickly becomes besotted with his "wife." As lady of the manor, Emmaline develops a weakness toward
Alex, which tempts her resolve and threatens her plans.
When Emmaline's dubious background is exposed, confusion
reigns and nothing is what it appears. This is Ms. Boyle's best novel yet! SOMETHING ABOUT
EMMALINE is a clever and original story with a twist at the
end that will surprise and tickle readers. Ms. Boyle
delivers with a wild and outrageous tale guaranteed to earn
her accolades from her fans!
