What does a girl who’s been jilted at the alter and is now ruined in society do to recover at least some respectability? Marjorie answers a duke’s advertisement in the paper for a wife. Oliver needs a pretend engagement to meet the codicil in his grandmother’s will giving him a parcel of land which might hide Roman ruins. Oliver and Marjorie are a remarkable couple. They make a deal that will (he hopes) give him the land and her the means to be independent. (This will work. Right?) Their masquerade as a couple in love leads to more. I enjoyed the way they got to know each other and became friends. There are, of course, a few bumps in the road, but happily ever after is worth it. Great story!
