This was my first Lenora Bell book and it won’t be my last. I had a great time reading this bachelor style historical romance. When the spare becomes the heir and needs a wife but doesn’t necessarily want one, he hosts 4 “contestants” in his home to get the picking over with. But one isn’t who she seems. Not a lady at all, she’s the illegitimate daughter of a duke who passes for her half sister’s twin. She takes her place, paid by the mother, to win the competition. Problem is… they both fall.
