Publisher's Synopsis
An Earl motivated by greed...
A woman hoping to save her family...
Lord Joseph Linfield, Earl of Brunsford, cares not for the simplistic notion of love. Rather, his sights are set on the two things he believes sustain happiness: wealth and notoriety. When Joseph is called to the bedside of a dying friend, he is shocked to learn that the man has an illegitimate daughter. The man has one last request: find the daughter and bring her to live in the home in which she should have been raised. Joseph gives his word that he will carry out this mission - even as he devises a plan to increase his own holdings by doing so. If he is able to convince this woman that he will make the ideal husband, he just may get the admiration of his peers he so desires.
Miss Rachel Cooper does not believe in society's standards, especially when it comes to love. Working in her parents' tavern, she has seen the despicable ways of men. She would rather remain alone than to be attached to such a creature and be left miserable. Those thoughts soon change, however, when a dashing earl appears, telling her a fascinating story that will change her life forever.
Rachel soon becomes overwhelmed in a world she to which she is unaccustomed. Then Joseph proposes a fake engagement that will keep away any bothersome suiters and allow her the time to settle into her new life. But as the date of their sham marriage draws closer, she begins to wonder if what was once fictitious has become something real.
As these two opposites come together, they learn things about themselves, and each other, that have them begin to question what they believe about what truly can make them happy.
The Spinsters Secret is a stand-alone, sweet Regency romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.
