Con artist extraordinaire Emmaline Denford relishes her new role as the miraculously recovered invalid, Baroness Sedgwick. If she can play this role for a fortnight without exposure, Emmaline's future will be secure. The main obstacle to her success is convincing her surprised husband to go along with the impersonation.

It took careful planning, but five years ago, Alexander Denford, Baron Sedgwick, invented a subservient and sickly wife, which kept marriage-minded women from harassing him. His imaginary wife enables him to live the quiet life he craves. When his faux wife arrives in his bedchamber, Alex could not be more astonished. This wily minx strikes a hard bargain with him and proceeds to charm those around him. Emmaline transforms his dreary house into a warm home and casts her spell on him with her beauty and indomitable spirit. Alex quickly becomes besotted with his "wife."

As lady of the manor, Emmaline develops a weakness toward Alex, which tempts her resolve and threatens her plans. When Emmaline's dubious background is exposed, confusion reigns and nothing is what it appears.

This is Ms. Boyle's best novel yet! SOMETHING ABOUT EMMALINE is a clever and original story with a twist at the end that will surprise and tickle readers. Ms. Boyle delivers with a wild and outrageous tale guaranteed to earn her accolades from her fans!

Book Summary

Inventing a wife was the perfect solution...

Or so it seemed to Alexander Denford, Baron Sedgwick, when he made up Emmaline for the sole purpose of deterring the ton’s marriage-minded ladies and their infernal matchmaking mothers--thereby enabling him to enjoy his carefully planned life in peace. So imagine his surprise when a stunning stranger appears in his private bedchamber…and brazenly announces that she is "Lady Sedgwick!"

Until a tempting lady turns his life upside down...

This "Emmaline" has been living by her wits her entire life- -and dearly desires what the dashing, much chagrined rake can provide: an entry into good society. In the meantime, she is plunging his household into chaos and, worse still, wreaking havoc with his heart. For there’s something about her spirit and fiery sensuality that Alex is finding it impossible to resist. But before he can make his perfect love his actual bride, he’ll have to somehow become the ideal husband he never dreamed he could be.
