When Letitia Sharpe is pursued by her odious guardian, coerced to give him her hand in marriage, she flees to the only friend she has: the dashing Lord Archie Pemberton... her favorite author. Except the man she flings herself onto isn't Lord Pemberton at all, but Robert Lilley, his beleaguered secretary.
At first, pretending to be Lord Pemberton-- as Archibald commands-- is a bit of a lark. Robert finds he enjoys being able to take the credit for the books he wrote, and quickly realizes Letitia is far more brainy than Lord Pemberton and her guardian both assume. Together they turn the tables on stuffy Lord Archie. Still, he knows he can't let his true feelings for her show-- he's pretending to be Lord Pemberton, and Lord Pemberton is engaged.
But when Letitia's wicked guardian comes to take her away and wed her against her will, and Lord Pemberton's elegant fiance descends on Martingale House, the truth will have to come out... one way or another!
