Description

Fiona Clayburn, a headstrong young noblewoman with a passion for art, has no interest in succumbing to the arranged marriage her father plans for her. Getting married would require her to quit her job at her uncle's art gallery and forsake her independent lifestyle. A fateful meeting with Giles Bancroft, an aloof young man and heir to the earl, presents a way out. Giles, like Fiona, wants nothing more than to stay single, so together, they hatch a scheme to achieve their common goal of avoiding marriage- pretend to be destined lovers! In this romantic shojo/josei period drama, a noblewoman and nobleman pretend to be in love to avoid getting married! And don't miss the light novels, also from Seven Seas. Fiona was born into a noble family, but she eschews a typical noblewoman's life in favor of working. Unfortunately, the social pressures of her status are not so easily ignored. She learns that talks are underway to arrange a marriage for her...whether she likes it or not. If Fiona gets married, she'll be expected to quit her job and give up her independent lifestyle. As she tries to figure out how to get out of this situation, she meets Giles, a nobleman who also wants to stay single. Together, they hatch a scheme to achieve their common goal of avoiding marriage- pretend to be destined lovers!
