Wicked Wallflower (audio)

Lady Emma Avery has accidentally announced her engagement—to the most eligible man in England. As soon as it’s discovered that Emma has never actually met the infamously attractive Duke of Ashbrooke, she’ll no longer be a wallflower; she’ll be a laughingstock. And then Ashbrooke does something Emma never expected. He plays along with her charade.

A temporary betrothal to the irreproachable Lady Avery could be just the thing to repair Ashbrooke’s tattered reputation. Seducing her is simply a bonus. And then Emma does what he never expected: she refuses his advances. It’s unprecedented. Inconceivable. Quite damnably alluring.

London’s Least Likely to Misbehave has aroused the curiosity—among other things—of London’s most notorious rogue. Now nothing will suffice but to uncover Emma’s wanton side and prove there’s nothing so satisfying as two perfect strangers…being perfectly scandalous together.

Trio of friends: Emma, Olivia and Prudence have suffered through four season and are on the shelf. All three of them are great characters that are invisible for one reason or another. The girls compose a "fun" note to the paper after consuming too much sherry that somehow gets sent and published. It becomes something Emma and Blake decide to use to their advantage, each for different reasons. Their journey to a happy ending was not without its obstacles that made this a fun read. Carolyn Morris narrated.  Looking forward to Olivia and Prudence's stories.
