When I started reading this book, the plot seemed so familiar. The heroine invents a fake fiance to get her family off her back. I realized it was identical to the setup in Tessa Dare's recent book, "When a Scot Ties the Knot", but this book was written about 20 years ago, so Debra Dier had the idea first. And I like what she did with it better. If you can overlook the ridiculous premise that someone would invent a fiance, it's quite an enjoyable book. And as the story progressed, it's evident that the heroine can't keep a secret to save her life. But as a plot device to keep the H&h in close proximity to each other, it serves the purpose. The solution to the mystery about who the traitor was somewhat unexpected too.
