The first book of the Merriwell Sisters Series tells the story of Hugh Standish, Earl of Fareham, who invented a fiancée to halt his mother's matchmaking. But when he learns that his mother is sailing home for Christmas, Hugh's panic leads him to Minerva Merriwell. Minerva is a lowly forger's daughter who's tasked with supporting her and her younger sisters, Diana and Vee, after their father left them. When she's giving the opportunity to stay at the Earl's Estate and pose as his fiancée for a handsome fee, how could she say no? What happens then is a series of events that leads a facade into a real relationship not just from Hugh and Minerva, but their friends, families, and enemies as well.
