Undercover with the Heiress - Tales from Honeysuckle Street, #3 - E-book - ePub

Rosanna Hempel has the world at her feet. She is a darling of London society. She has a father who is training her to take over the family empire. And she has the eye of a charming young man who will make her a lady. What more could a young woman want? Her life is perfection. Until she is compromised in the park, and the man who had promised her everything has fled, and the only person willing to help her is none other than her father's nemesis, Phineas Babbage. Phineas Babbage has no interest in a wife.
In a family. In living another 5 minutes more on Honeysuckle Street. He has plans to tie up loose ends, flee this wretched city and start anew. Until, in a moment of weakness, he finds himself pledged to none other than Rosanna Hempel, and she becomes both his salvation and his condemnation. With her help, he can find the truth about what happened to the woman he loved. Yet her help makes him want to scream at the sky. Her ferocity makes his skin tingle.
Her obtuseness is a delectable challenge. Rosanna cannot stand the sight of the beige man next door who is obsessed with margins. Until he is gone, and then he is all she can think of. Can the two of them find some common ground? Can they set aside their differences for long enough to solve the mystery, annul their sham marriage, and get on with their own separate lives?Because that's what they both want. Obviously.
