No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Ethan Silverton, the Lord of Edon, is very content with his life. Heβs carefully sculpted it so that everyone thinks heβs a notorious rake. For years, heβs worked hard to build his reputation to secure his place as the most undesirable bachelor in London. And itβs worked. No decent lady will have him.
But one simple error in judgment has just sealed his fate. His intention was to dissuade a horrid mother from matching him up with her equally horrid daughter. Seeing no one but Lady Catherine without a dance partner, he tells a lie. He approaches Lady Catherine as if they are betrothed, and the ploy works. The horrid mother and her daughter abandon their pursuit of him.
But Ethanβs mother spies his ploy and is so relieved that sheβs found a way to marry him to a reputable young lady that she tells everyone of their engagement. To his horror, word spreads and itβs his duty to see the lie through. This is the worst thing that can happen, and no one but his mother is happy about it. Not Lady Catherine. Not her doting father. Not even Ethan. But his mother is sure itβll all work outβ¦eventually.
