About this ebook

In this newest addition to the School for Scoundrels series, Simeon Jones and Lady Myrtle Allen tell all the ton that they are engaged to be wed, fully knowing that once the season is over they will quietly part ways. They each have their reasons, but neither expected love to tempt them into turning a pretense into reality!

Simeon Jones has a secret—he is soft-hearted. Despite his scandalous exterior, he will quietly give money to orphans (after all, he was one himself), animals, and damsels in distress. One such damsel is Lady Myrtle Allen—but it’s not her funds that are lacking, but rather she needs to get to London—fast.

And so begins a wild adventure. First, the pair tells all the ton that they are engaged to be wed—how else to prevent scandal once they are found together—alone! They plan to carry out this deception, fully knowing that once the season is over, they will quietly part ways. But then, they discover that they have fallen in love, which was definitely not part of their plan! Can this scandalous man and adventurous woman turn this pretense into reality?

Ratings and reviews

In a rush to reach London, math genius Lady Myrtle teams up with scandalous but kind-hearted artist Simeon. They concoct a fake engagement, planning to end it after the season. Their scheme goes awry when the realize they’ve inconveniently fallen in love. This steamy novel is hilarious, emotional, and smart. Lady Myrtle is a quirky and likeable heroine, and Simeon is devoted to her. I loved it! Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Miss Myrtle Allen is going to do something starting with a road trip with Simeon Jones in “Her Adventures in Temptation” by Megan Frampton! If you enjoy fake engagements with spicy experiments, class difference, working female aristocrats, opposites attract, and finishing each other’s thoughts to name a few, then I highly recommend this book!
