When the Countess of Trent schemes to secure an heir by hosting a lavish Cinderella Ball, she invites only those eligible young ladies her son has never met—and therefore never had the chance to refuse.
The Honorable Miss Millicent Spencer, newly returned from America, wants nothing to do with ambitious mamas, titled gentlemen, or the outmoded institution of the aristocracy. Dragged to the ball against her will, she switches identities with her cousin to avoid attracting the notice of any grasping nobleman—especially the Earl of Trent, whom she is certain will be insufferable.
The earl, however, has plans of his own. Determined to thwart his mother’s latest matchmaking scheme, he trades places with his amiable, unmarried parson. It is only for one evening, after all, and none of the guests have ever seen him. What could possibly go wrong?
When a spirited young woman and a reluctant earl meet under borrowed names and mistaken assumptions, sparks fly in the most unexpected—and decidedly inconvenient—ways.
Can a firebrand miss and a duty-dodging lord find their happily ever after once the masks come off?
