The Trouble with Inventing a Viscount

ebook

2 of 3 copies available

USA Today bestselling author Vivienne Lorret returns with the second book in her Liars' Club series with a sparkling romance about the spirited middle sister, a dashing rogue, and a very real engagement...except he's not the viscount he's pretending to be.

Honoria Hartley enjoys flirting far too much to consider marrying. And besides, she's been betrothed since birth to the long-lost Viscount Vandemere. But no one has actually ever met the viscount and, without an heir, the title will soon become extinct. So she's willing to do anything to keep her viscount alive, even if she has to invent him herself.

Oscar Flint is a first-rate gambler. Estranged from his father's side of the family his entire life, he grew up beneath the tutelage of a legendary con artist. There isn't anyone who could pull the wool over his eyes. Not until he crosses paths with Honoria. Losing to her puts him in a bind... Until he remembers her story about a lost heir to a viscountcy. An heir that no one has ever met. Not yet, anyway.

When Oscar arrives on Honoria's doorstep, claiming to be Vandemere, she is thrown for a loop. This rogue is not her viscount. The only problem is, he's quite convincing, and when he kisses her, the line between the lie and the truth becomes hazy in all the steam they create. Honoria refuses to gamble with her heart. But Oscar has never played by the rules and he's determined to win, no matter the cost.

      Honoria Hartley, the heroine of Lorret’s diverting second Liar’s Club Regency (after It Had to Be a Duke), uses her childhood betrothal to a viscount she’s never met and whom no one can locate as an excuse never to marry. What would she need a husband for? She’s able to secure her fortune using her luck and skill at the gambling table. While disguised as a man to do just that in Paris’s gambling halls, Honoria meets Oscar Flint, a fellow gambler who desperately needs the funds Honoria wins off him. So when Honoria tells Oscar about her betrothal, he hatches a plan to follow her to her English village and claim to be the Viscount Vandemere himself. He threatens to tell her family about her gambling if she reveals he’s an imposter, forcing Honoria to keep up the pretense of their engagement. But along the way, the feigned attraction becomes all too real for both of them and Oscar abandons his blackmail to instead focus on making Honoria happy for the rest of her life. Throughout, Lorret strikes the right balance of humor and swoony romance. The pages fly as this unlikely couple work for their happy ending. Agent: Stefanie Lieberman, Janklow & Nesbit Assoc.
