Lord Elliot Holbrook has spent half his life desperately in love with his dearest friend, Kate Littlefield, who is utterly oblivious to his feelings for her.
But when Elliot’s eldest brother announces to all of London that he expects Elliot to marry this Season, Elliot concocts a cunning scheme to turn the situation to his advantage and get Kate to truly see him at last.
Kate has never been more than five miles from her home in the countryside, but on account of their longstanding friendship, she agrees to Elliot’s mad plan to accompany him to London for the purposes of finding him a wife.
After all, no one knows Elliot better than does Kate—who better to select the woman who will win his hand and his heart? But she never expected to find the task quite so…disagreeable.
Elliot has only weeks to determine if Kate could ever see him as more than just her childhood friend and to win the wife he has always wanted.
But subtlety is critical, or he just might end up sacrificing his most cherished friendship in the process…
