Madly in love, or just pretending?
When archaeologist adventurer Ethan Burnell arranges a fake engagement to survive the ordeal of his sister's Christmas house party, feisty bluestocking Cornelia is not the pliable would-be-bride he had in mind.
With her name mired in scandal, Cornelia Mortmain's marriage prospects are nil.
Burnell is exactly the sort of 'dangerous man' she's sworn off, and posing as his fiancée can only spell trouble.
Or, make her so notorious she'll become irresistible.
Together, they stumble on Studborne Abbey's hidden crypt, and something even more disturbing!
Could they be falling in love for real?
