An heiress’s escape plan takes a rude but handsome detour in this Regency Cinderella story about second chances.
Fed up with being a doormat to her evil stepmother, heiress Evelyn Bradshaw pays a dissolute rake to pose as her betrothed so she can secure her freedom. But then her fake fiancé leaves her with his estranged brother Finn Matlock and disappears!
Having withdrawn from the world, Finn knows the last thing he needs is the temptation of a woman, especially one like Evie. She has an irritating habit of causing chaos wherever she goes and being in places she shouldn’t . . . including, as he soon learns, his heart!
“Heath’s ability to create flawed characters whose emotional growth is at the heart of the story turns a classic plotline into a meaningful romance. You’ll be cheering the characters on to their HEA.” —RT Book Reviews

Lidt en pastiche over Askepot! Historiens plot og præmis, at hovedpersonen bliver nødt at opfinde en falsk forlovet, i stedet for at fortælle stedmoderen nogle tiltrænkte sandheder, så tvistet med hans tvillingebror, er meget søgt og derfor irriterende. Evie er en 26 årig dørmåtte som kortvarig blomstrer op før hun går tilbage til at være en dørmåtte i kpt. 16 og der står jeg af! Det er jo så tydeligt at forfatteren skal finde en undskyldning for at udskyde " happy end" og lige skrive et par ekstra kapitler. Derved svækkes historien og Evie bliver svag og latterlig. Øv ! Var ellers ved at varme op til historien og Evie, men det ødelagde det for mig at hun gik tilbage til at være en dørmåtte, når hun absolut ikke skyldte faren noget efter at have plejet ham for 6 år og heller ikke stedmoren som var en væmmelig parasit.
