Maya Rodale's captivating new series introduces London's Least Likely—three wallflowers who are about to become the toast of the ton . . .

Lady Emma Avery has accidentally announced her engagement—to the most eligible man in England. As soon as it's discovered that Emma has never actually met the infamously attractive Duke of Ashbrooke, she'll no longer be a wallflower; she'll be a laughingstock. And then Ashbrooke does something Emma never expected. He plays along with her charade.

A temporary betrothal to the irreproachable Lady Avery could be just the thing to repair Ashbrooke's tattered reputation. Seducing her is simply a bonus. And then Emma does what he never expected: she refuses his advances. It's unprecedented. Inconceivable. Quite damnably alluring.

London's Least Likely to Misbehave has aroused the curiosity—among other things—of London's most notorious rogue. Now nothing will suffice but to uncover Emma's wanton side and prove there's nothing so satisfying as two perfect strangers . . . being perfectly scandalous together.

This really was a wonderful story but I just couldn’t put my finger on why I wished she held out longer - if you know you know.

Great story but

Lady Emma is a wallflower nicknamed by the ton the Least Likely to Misbehave. A posting of her engagement to the Duke of Ashbrook has the potential to change her circumstance, but will the Duke go along with it? Ashbrook is a notorious rogue who because of his reputation can't get anyone to invest in his invention. Can their fake engagement save them both? Will they play along....while keeping their hearts out of the equation.

The narration of this book was well done. This story has two of my favourite tropes - fake engagement and wallflowers. This is a story about two people who are insecure at their core about something and how their love allows them to get past their insecurities and find that true ever lasting love. I pulled for these characters from the start, feeling for them and loving them as they struggled to get what they truly wanted and desired. I love that at different times, each made the grand jester to show their love to the other.
