When an announcement of her upcoming wedding to the Duke appears in the papers, Penelope knows she must take her place as his wife, or her honor will be ruined. But it will be a marriage in name only, of that she's sure—until the handsome looks and warm smile of her new husband make her heart race in a most unsettling way . . . Historical Fiction. Fiction.

This was a fairly short read but really cute and enjoyable. I really liked the main characters and the plot felt natural and not too contrived. I'll be looking for others by Bray.
