She thought she'd found her perfect match in Simon Reeves--charming, handsome, a veritable hero from a novel--until he vanished from her life without so much as a \"farewell\" or \"my deepest regrets\" (or even a vague apology scribbled on the back of a calling card).

Simon's once-proud estate is in shambles, his family fortune has been gambled away, and the younger impressionable siblings in his care are running wild across his estate (and possibly across all of England). Simon is in desperate need of a wealthy, prestigious bride . . . and a friend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmmeline may not fit the role of heiress, but she can certainly be a friend. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eJust\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e a friend.
