A notorious rake. A ruined beauty. A pretend marriage that feels dangerously real.

French privateer Justin St. Briac has sworn never to wed. But when his manipulative mother summons him to her deathbed in Cornwall, Justin agrees to her final wish: that he take a bride -- fully intending to pretend to do so.

Mouette Raveneau, once the darling of the London ton, has been ruined by her husband's crimes and seeks refuge with her two sons. Drawn into Justin's ruse, she agrees to play the part of his bride... nothing more.

But make-believe quickly becomes perilously real as attraction flares and walls crumble. Justin -- who has spent a lifetime avoiding love -- begins to want the one thing he cannot control. And Mouette, who vowed never to trust a man again, finds her heart awakening to the husband she never expected.

Sometimes the greatest risk is falling for what began as a lie.
