Hester Plumtree is sick of her grandchildren's scandalous behavior and wants some great-grandchildren. So she tells them that they must each settle down and marry within the year, or she will disinherit them. Her oldest grandson, Oliver Sharpe, Marquess of Stoneville, believes that he can outwit his grandmother by bringing home a totally unsuitable fiancee in hopes she will back down from her threat. But as he is searching for someone to fulfill the role at a brothel, he stumbles across Maria Butterfield, an American who is in England searching for her missing groom-to-be. It isn't hard to get Maria to agree to pose as his fiancee. But it is very hard for Oliver to stick with his original plan not to marry anyone, when he is finding himself falling in love with Maria.

This is my first Sabrina Jeffries book and I loved it. The story was thoroughly entertaining and I enjoyed both the hero and the heroine. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
