When Simon is given an ultimatum by his father, marry or loose everything, he finds he has no choice but to start searching the market. But when he discovers what Julianna has done he sets his sites on ruining her reputation just as she did his. And how much fun he is going to have doing it when he decides seduction of the lady is the way to go.

With both their reputations and Simon's inheritance on the line, they soon find that they have no choice but to combine their efforts to end the gossip and make Simon's father happy. They must do the only thing possible, they have to marry each other.

Of course when a marriage of convenience is agreed to what neither Julianna nor Simon is prepared for is the temptation to take it beyond convenience. When Julianna's nemesis for a rival paper finds out the truth, will their marriage survive?

Maya Rodale has outdone herself with A TALE OF TWO LOVERS; full of humor, romance, and everything a reader is looking for in a story (including a headstrong heroine and a rake to become reformed). I cannot wait to read what Ms. Rodale writes next.
