A Properly Conducted Sham
Coming February 4, 2025
Lady Charlotte James needs a husband—yesterday. Soon, even the dimmest of the ton will know her secret.
Desperate and abandoned, a masquerade is Charlotte’s last opportunity. The event of the season draws even the reclusive, Leopold Bennet, Earl of Champaign, from hiding. In him, Charlotte has her target. But after Lee flees from the unmasking, Charlotte cannot allow her final hope to vanish with him.
When the lovely and calculating Lady James propositions him, Lee names his price. One year at his estate, then Charlotte—and her babe—can return to society bearing his name. But the cost is 365 days trapped with a man scarred—inside and out.
Wracked with guilt and shame, Lee knows better than to grow too comfortable in the role of husband to his beautiful, complicated wife, or too attached to the life inside her. After all, she only promised a year. He has no right to ask her to sacrifice more—no matter how fiercely he longs to.
A Properly Conducted Sham is an innovative twist on the classic fairytale by Ally Hudson. If you like astronomy and pining, then you’ll love this sweet and thrilling story of healing, trust, and family.
