Even with thepressure of her socially ambitious mother, the last thing she expected was a marriage of convenience to save her previously spotless reputation. Association with Colin McCrae is not part of Georgina's plan, but as their paths continue to cross, they both must decide if the realization of their dreams is worth the sacrifices they must make.An Uncommon Courtship Life for Lady Adelaide Bell was easier if she hid in her older sister's shadow-which worked until her sister got married. What Colin doesn't know is that Georgina's desperate social aspirations are driven by the shameful secret she harbors.

When he first encounters the fashionable Lady Georgina, he's irritated by his attraction to a woman who concerns herself only with status and appearance. With money and business connections, but without impeccable bloodlines, Colin McCrae is invited everywhere but accepted nowhere. At her first London ball, she hopes to snag the attention of an earl. When it becomes apparent state secrets are at risk and Marlow is right in the thick of the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda's heart is far from all that's at risk for the Hawthornes and those they love.An Elegant Facade Lady Georgina Hawthorne has worked tirelessly to seal her place as the Incomparable for her debut season.

Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into confusion at her growing feelings for two men-one she's never met but whose words deeply resonate with her heart, and one she has come to depend on but whose behavior is more and more suspicious. And even more shocked when the duke returns her note with one of his own that initiates a courtship-by-mail. When Marlow accidentally discovers and mails one of the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is beyond mortified. Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued by Marlow, her brother's new valet, and although she may wish to break free of the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of a rebellion than she planned. Entering her fourth Season and approaching spinsterhood in the eyes of society, she pours her innermost feelings out not in a diary but in letters to her brother's old school friend, a duke-with no intention of ever sending these private thoughts to a man she's heard stories about but never met.
