Four years ago Lady Theodora Marchmont learned to make her face a weapon. Since "the incident" she never names, she glides through every ballroom so flawlessly untouchable that no gossip can find a crack in her composure. But as the new Season begins, an unexpected predicament demands a pact she never wanted: an engagement on trial. Fourteen days. Only a performance, a bargain between two people who owe each other nothing - so the plan goes. Yet two weeks is long enough for something Theodora thought long buried to start to waver. Book 4 of "The Wyndham Season" - a sparkling Regency romance about masks, pride and what happens when a game turns to earnest.
