In this Dukes Behaving Badly holiday novella, a young lady entertains a sudden proposal of marriage—to a man she’s only just met

What does a lady do when a man she’s never seen before offers his hand in marriage? Lady Sophronia Bettesford doesn’t scream and run away. Instead, she accepts the shocking proposition. After all, what’s her other choice? To live with her cousin, caring for six children and a barnyard full of chickens?

James Archer has roamed the world, determined never to settle down. He’s faced danger and disaster…he fears nothing and no one—except his mother and her matchmaking ways. So when ordered to attend a Christmastime house party filled with holiday cheer and simpering young misses, he produces—a fiancée!

Sophronia and James vow to pretend to be in love for one month. But when they promise to give each other a Christmas kiss, it becomes clear that this pact made out of necessity might just be turning into love.

Ratings and reviews

Good book but as usual I started and finished it in a few hours and enjoyed it. I will also end up reading it again and again and still enjoy it,not my usual type of book though but will look for more by the same author and will hopefully enjoy those books too

I only read the first 3 chapters of this book could not finish it ended the third chapter did not get to end will not be reading it was too short and 😠

Since this book was set in England the author should research English phrases and not use american-isms
