Every gentleman in England wants a wife like her--beautifu4 uncomplaining, and never underfoot.
There is definitely SOMETHING ABOUT EMMALINE

Perhaps it's the fact that she doesn't exist! Alexander Denford, Baron Sedgwick, invented a gentle, subservient, never seen "wife" for the sole purpose of deterring the ton's marriage-minded ladies and their infernal matchmaking mothers--thereby enabling him to enjoy his frequent late nights and lustful dalliances in peace. So imagine Alex's surprise when a stunning stranger appears in his private bedchamber . . . and brazenly announces that she is "Lady Sedgwick!"
--
This "Emmaline" has been living by her wits her entire life--and dearly desires what the dashing, much chagrined rake can provide: an entry into good society. In the meantime, she is plunging his household into chaos and, worse still, wreaking havoc with his heart. For there's something about her spirit and fiery sensuality that Alex is finding impossible to resist. But before he can make his perfect love his actual bride, he'll have to somehow be-come the ideal husband he never dreamed he could be.

So when the real heir, Captain Thatcher, returns home from the war, he finds he's not only inherited the dukedom, but also that he's nearly betrothed to some unseen (and quite possibly mad) chit.

Thatcher vows to set this impossible little miss straight, but before he knows it, he finds himself falling in love with her. At first, Felicity sees her new footman as nothing but a great employee and at a bargain salary to boot.

Lord Langley and Minerva, Lady Standon begin their faux engagement with three simple rules set down by the baron's all-too-proper (and utterly unlikely) bride-to-be:

1. No more kissing. The intoxicating kiss Langley stole from her lips still has Minerva aflutter.
2. She will not share his bed. (For if his kiss is that tempting, Minerva doesn't dare imagine what night in Langley's embrace will do to her already addled senses.)
3. No scandals during their engagement. With the infamous Langley back in Town, there could be no lack of trouble he could bring to Minerva's unblemished reputation.
--
Oh, the wily Lord Langley will keep his word -- but that doesn't mean he won't use every rakish trick he knows to get Minerva to break her own proper rules, especially once he realizes that this convenient arrangement has led him to the only woman he's ever loved....
