Popular author Shana Galen begins a brand new series, Misadventures in Matrimony, where four young ladies vow never to marry, only to be swept away by true love.

Catherine Fullbright (Catie) is a founding member of the Spinsters' Club. After living with an abusive father, she's vowed never to marry––not that any men are seeking her hand. Suitors generally flock to her younger, prettier sister, Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Catie's father refuses to marry his younger daughter until the elder is wed. Then Quint Childers, Lord Valentine, takes an interest in Elizabeth, and the wealthy earl is too good to let slip away. Why not marry Catie to Valentine and leave the younger daughter free to make an even better match? A bit of opium and a treacherous plan later, Catie and Valentine wake up in bed together.

Catie is not what Valentine expects for a wife. To reach his political aspirations, Quint needs a charming, gracious wife to play hostess to his political allies, and Catie detests fake social niceties and large events. But still...there's something mesmerizing about this sensual, mysterious beauty. Can the earl set aside his ambitions for a chance at a once in a lifetime passion?
