She traded places with his bride. Now he intends to keep her.
Imogen Harrington has always done what was expected of her… until the day she steals a duke at the altar.
When her dearest friend is about to be forced into a loveless marriage—and Imogen must wed to fulfill her father’s dying wish—she takes matters into her own hands. With a veil hiding her identity, she walks down the aisle and binds herself to Tristan Somerset, Duke of Winfield, before he ever realizes he’s married the wrong woman.
Tristan is not a man accustomed to surprises. Especially not ones that leave him legally wed to a woman who deceived him before the vows were even spoken. But annulment would mean scandal—and Tristan does not allow scandal to touch his name. Instead, he decides to keep his unexpected duchess.
As they travel abroad, Tristan quickly discovers that the impulsive, unconventional Imogen is nothing like the bride he intended to marry… and far more tempting than she has any right to be. Imogen, for her part, never meant to want the man she tricked into marriage, but the longer she remains at his side and his bed, the more she longs for his heart.
What began as a marriage of convenience is about to become something far more complicated…
She may have stolen his wedding… But Tristan is determined to take everything else.

Review:
My favorite of the series so far!
Imogen and Tristan’s story has a rocky start, but is ultimately so sweet (with a bit of steam, of course)! I absolutely loved watching them fall in love–it did make me LOL a bit to realize that Imogen hadn’t given a second’s thought to what would happen after she took her BFF’s place at the altar and married Tristan (to be fair, it was practically last minute, but she does have several married older siblings so…) but Tristan was absolutely the best bridegroom a girl could ask for her first night.
And every night after, of course 😉
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
