BOOK  #5

Start with His Make Believe Bride. Lord Jasper Hartcliffe left Society behind years ago, choosing freedom and fortune over expectations. But to save his twin brother from ruinous debt, Hart returns to London and enters a devil's bargain with the formidable Justin St. Briac, a bargain that entangles him with St. Briac's unconventional daughter. Emeline St. Briac endured two empty Seasons before fleeing to Lyme Regis to hunt fossils and craft a life on her own terms. Now forced back to London, she refuses her father's matchmaking schemes-even creating her own "Bridegroom List" to derail them. She is determined never again to surrender her independence. Then Hart appears. As Emeline assists Hart with his archaeological research, their shared passion for discovery sparks a different kind of fire-one that neither of them is prepared for. But Hart's secret ties to her father threaten everything growing between them, and Emeline must decide whether she can trust a man who has built his life on keeping the world at arm's length.
