Secret Bride — Sharol Louise

Who would make a better fiancée in a pinch -- An actress? A shopkeeper? Or a school teacher?

Damion Templeton, Viscount Woodhurst, has fourteen days to find a fiancée. It's the least he can do to make his dying grandmother happy. Of course, she doesn't need to know it's a temporary ruse. An actress should do nicely.

Miss Alix Adams falls off the wall of the local school while rescuing her young student from a tree. Damion rides by, and the curtain of fate rises on a new stage plan.

Secret Bride is the story of a young lady who makes a deal with a stranger. Because when you're penniless, and an orphan, money can be so tempting.
