And a lovely little lie that changed them all. She wouldn't call her mistruths dishonest exactly. They were more like the paint strokes of a vivid imagination, like fine art. When Lady Constance Whitmore decides to tell the whole truth, people should listen. At least that’s what she thinks until the day she utters a discouraging word that gets her banished to the country in the middle of her fourth season. But Foxwood feels more like a holiday than a punishment when she meets a roguishly handsome, devilishly daring head groomsman. After soliciting the handsome man for a lesson or two in the art of canoodling, she’s ready to practice what he preached. There was a method to his madness. A future heir to a dukedom, rumored to be a bastard, would never marry a proper woman of the ton. Julian Derek Montgomery spends half the year at Foxwood, his grandfather’s country estate. He does it for the peace and quiet. He does it to train the horses. He does NOT do it to meet spoiled, insipid girls of the ton who insist he apologize for failing to address them properly. But he’ll soon find that Lady Constance Whitmore is not just any member of the elite. She’s a lovely little liar. A truth stretcher. And when he gives his middle name of Derek in hopes she’ll leave him alone, his little plan backfires in the form of one farce of a betrothal, a fake fiancée, and a beautiful nuisance who sings to his horse like an angel. Add to that one tiny dangerous lesson in kissing and the whole pot begins to boil… starting with his libido. Tropes:. enemies to lovers. close proximity. mistaken identity. opposites attract. less
