Who will be the last man standing? New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander's delicious series about four men desperately trying to avoid matrimony continues... Lady Cordelia Bannister simply cannot marry a man she has not chosen herself, no matter what her father decrees. So, pretending to be her own companion, she decides to seek out information about her intended by meeting with his secretarymdash;a man who soon beguiles her. But Lady Cordelia doesn't know the truthmdash;the man can't resist is really her intended, Daniel Sinclair. Daniel has nearly won the wager he made with three of London's most eligible bachelors. While two of his compatriots have surrendered to the shackles of marriage, he's remained free to woo any woman he chooses. Yet duty forces him to consider Lady Cordelia, so, determined to find a way to escape honor intact, he continues the masquerade he started. Each finds the other completely irresistible, but when they uncover their mutual mistaken identities, Daniel and Cordelia must make the most important choice of all...
Lady Cordelia Bannister, a self-assured, well-traveled, and intelligent young woman of 25, is furious when her father engages her to a wealthy man whom she has never met. Likewise, Daniel Sinclair, a wealthy and undeniably attractive young bachelor, has no intention of falling prey to the shackles of marriage as so many of his friends have done. Trouble is in the air when Cordelia poses as another woman in order to gather information about Daniel from a man claiming to be Daniel's secretary, not realizing, of course, that this man is Daniel himself. Sparks and wits fly in this wittily well-constructed mistaken-identity romp by bestselling romance powerhouse Victoria Alexander.
