Lord Margrave's Deception

by Diana Campbell

WITH THIS LIE I DO THEE WED — Every young lady dreams of being proposed to by a lord -- but Lord Margrave's proposal left lovely Miranda Russell frozen with shock, before she realized that poverty left her with no choice but to say yes. What the arrogant aristocrat wanted was not a wife, but a shield against all the females seeking to trap him into marriage. If Miranda would pretend to be his wife, he would give her everything her heart desired -- except himself.

Thus together this innocent Miss and this notorious rake set out to fool the world -- little dreaming that when they exchanged their solemn vows to love each other in name only, they were only fooling themselves....

A cute read, with some fun surprises. I thought a couple of the twists at the end were inspired. (and I wont tell you what they were either...)

I enjoyed this book with a strong female lead and a dense male lead.
