A Parody Romance from the Unhinged Historical Collection
Miss Prudence Fairweather has always believed in virtue, restraint, and the healing power of alphabetical order. But when three hellion sisters, a scandalous rake, and one wildly misused settee lead to a very public, very accidental engagement, she finds herself betrothed to the one man guaranteed to send her spiraling into sin: Lord Phineas Markham.
Phineas is a rake. Or he was. Or he's trying not to be. It's unclear—he's working through it in a series of confusing, impassioned monologues. Each more dramatic than the last. And each featuring a tragic backstory with entirely new details. Again.
Now Prudence must preserve her reputation, deny her increasingly indecent thoughts, and survive a fake engagement with a man who keeps taking his shirt off in emotionally symbolic ways.
He's chaos. She's clinging to decorum by her petticoats. And somewhere in the hedges, a goose is watching. Judging.
Featuring:
If you enjoy historical romance with heaving bosoms, unrepentant ridiculousness, and jokes that get funnier every time they're repeated, this one's for you.
