The masquerade of timid and composed Eleanor pretending to be her Duchess cousin, Madeleine, who is as straightforward and vivacious as they come, was highly enjoyable. Even though I knew exactly how everything would happen and play out, I was getting increasingly nervous as the story progressed, the charade went further and further along, and Remington pushes "Madeleine" closer and closer to the wedding date. Remington and Eleanor were a perfect pair and it's wonderful watching him break down some of her defenses and help her to grow more confident and sure of herself. GREAT book!!

| Book description |
|
A bold woman known as the "duchess of Magnus" was wagered—and won—in a card game. But the woman who arrived was her shy, quiet cousin Eleanor.
Eleanor de Lacy must have been mad to agree to exchange identities with her stronger-willed cousin. She would never convince Remington Knight of the folly of this union—especially since the man seemed so determined for it to take place. Worse still, she finds Remington dazzlingly attractive—and she's charmed by his attempts to seduce her, even though he believes she is already his. But if he ever learns of Eleanor's deception, this daring rogue will wreak havoc . . . upon her reputation and her heart.
Remington had expected a haughty, unbending aristocrat who would ensure his entrance into good society. But this "duchess" is a most pleasant surprise—modest, warm-hearted, endearingly awkward, and a delight to the eye. In short, she is exactly the sort of bride Remington could fall passionately, completely in love with . . .
. . . if he weren't so intent on his revenge.
