Arthur Lancaster, the Earl of St. Merryn, wants to hire a paid companion. Since his last fiancée ran away with her lover, desperate mothers have been throwing their eligible daughters at him. He is looking for a woman to pose as his fiancée. That way the mothers will leave him alone and allow him time to figure out who murdered his uncle a few weeks ago.
Eleanora Lodge lost everything when her stepfather died and she was thrown out into the streets. She is in desperate need of a job and interviews for the position of a paid companion. She is surprised when the Earl tells her that he will pay her to pose as his fiancée; but the money is good, so she quickly agrees. Arthur is surprised to find that Eleanora is both independent and very smart. He believes she may be able to help him in his goal of finding his uncle's killer.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Bianco Amato. I thought the first twenty percent of the book was slow and I was bored with the story. But, once Eleanora was in place in the St. Merryn household, the story became interesting. I enjoyed both the romance and the unfolding mystery. My rating: 4 Stars.
