This was a fun read! I can't wait for more books by this author...Emma Grey and Richard Hamilton (the Earl) are in love and want to get married! The Earl never thought he would fall in love and now that he has, he wants to marry Emma ASAP!The obstacle: The Duke, who is Emma's uncle. Emma thinks the Duke is the most clever man in the world, and to help his hurt ego (and speed up the wedding date) the Earl is determined to convince Emma that he is more clever than the Duke.The plan: When Emma goes for her prolonged visit to the Duke, the Earl will go along... posing as the Head Gardener. People in the household start noticing that Emma is paying special attention to the new Head Gardener.The complication: The Duke invites the Earl for a visit so he can get to know him. The Earl refuses to give up the wager so he writes to his friend William Raikes to pose as the Earl. Raikes arrives on the scene and falls in love with Emma's cousin, Catherine... who is the daughter of the Duke!Everyone is confused as Emma insists she is in love with the Earl, but seems to prefer the Head Gardener; the Earl is supposed to be in love with Emma, but seems to prefer her cousin, and now the Duke's blackmailing sister has been murdered... It will be up to the clever Duke to sort out who everyone is so he can discover his sister's murderer... And, of course, true love will prevail in the end!!!
