About the Book

Book Synopsis

In this whirlwind regency romance, a woman with a secret identity and a rakish bachelor find themselves unable to resist each other--perfect for fans of Netflix's Bridgerton.

When Adelaide Rosebourne must impersonate her mistress for a few days, it doesn't seem like it'll be a difficult task, even if her mistress's supposed fiancé is in a coma. All she has to do is wait until he wakes up and then convince him to retract the proposal--thereby securing a tidy reward. What she doesn't count on is the arrival of the duke's brother and his damned inconvenient interest in her affairs. But does it really matter? She'll be gone before he finds out the truth.

Rhett Montgomery knows two things--that he is woefully unprepared to take over the dukedom, and that the woman who claims to be his brother's betrothed is not who she says she is. No debutante swears so fiercely or kisses with such recklessness. Investigating is what any good brother would do, isn't it? As long as he doesn't start falling for her charms as well.

About the Author

Samara Parish has been escaping into fictional worlds since she was a child. When she picked up her first historical romance book, she found a fantasy universe she never wanted to leave and the inspiration to write her own stories. She lives in Australia with her own hero and their many fur-babies in a house with an obscenely large garden, despite historically being unable to keep a cactus alive. How to Survive a Scandal is her debut novel.
