Is a lady in hand worth more than one in a tree?

Business forces Mister Adam Blakley back to London at the worst imaginable time: the tail end of the Season. Not only is the city full of marriage-minded misses and their determined mamas, but the desperation of the unattached has swelled to a fever pitch. Having suffered the shackles of marriage once already in his thirty-three years, Adam has no intention of letting another woman clamp him in iron-clad vows.

Iris Greenwood had her chance at a Season…and failed as abysmally as her parents predicted. Now, Iris’s solemn, paramount duty is to ensure her younger sister doesn’t suffer the same fate. Unfortunately, Daisy nears the end of her season still unattached, despite her superior looks and manner. When wealthy widower Adam Blakley comes to town, Daisy and their mother are sure their prayers are answered. But Mister Blakley has other plans that involve a false engagement—and Iris.
