{"product_id":"2940149259571","title":"The Pretenders","description":"Deborah Woodly agreed to a pretend engagement with Reeve, Earl of Cambridge, because his straitlaced uncle wouldn't let him touch his inheritance before his 26th birthday. Not unless he contracted a marriage, which would presumably \"settle\" him. Deb and Reeve promised not to fall in love, or marry, but to ultimately declare they wouldn't suit. Broken promises, but also someone was trying to kill Deb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome Reviews for other Joan Wolf Regency Regency novels  ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Guardian ...\u003cbr\u003eThe Belles and Beaux of Romance\u003cbr\u003e\"Joan Wolf always delivers a stellar reading experience. ...

Veteran novelist Wolf (best known for her prehistoric The Reindeer Hunters), turns in her own delightful addition, one that combines sensuality and passion with a spirited first-person narrative. When Kate Fitzgerald's horse-trader father is killed, she's placed with her malicious uncle, who spitefully maneuvers her into marriage with Adrian, Earl of Greystone. Waterloo hero Greystone accepts the unfortunate situation, but Kate falls deeply in love. Against the colorful racetrack background of the running of the Guineas at Newmarket, she schemes to entrap the aristocrat who murdered her father.\u003cbr\u003ePUBLISHERS WEEKLY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Reviews For Joan Wolf's Regency Titles ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Joan Wolf never fails to deliver the best.\"\u003cbr\u003eNORA ROBERTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Joan Wolf is absolutely wonderful.
