The story was good, however I got a little weary of reading the story and then having it presented again as part of the heroine's literary endeavors.  Some of the dialogue is repeated as well.The heroine is left at the mercy of her stepbrother.  He and his wife offer her a position in their household rather than offering to look after her as a family member.  She takes matters into her own hands and becomes a companion to a wealthy lady.  The lady is the aunt of a much talked about lord.  He has been married three times -- two dead, one annulment.  His estate will pass to a swarmy relative if he doesn't produce an heir.Our heroine secretly pens novels that poke fun at some members of society.  When she meets our hero, she begins a tale about him.  The two are attracted to each other, and eventually he discovers her secret.He plays a few tricks on her, fueling her imagination.  He has a mistress living nearby who is determined to be his next -- and final -- wife.  Add in the degenerate relative and the woman from the dissolved marriage. . .  Well, this guy has problems enough without thinking of giving his heart to someone again.But, he does.  He doesn't want to and fights doing so.  But he does.  And he has to go to great lengths to get the happy ending for the couple.This is a good story, but at first I had the sense the author was going for something lighter.  Perhaps I mistook the initial intention.  The story did take a decidedly dramatic turn, and I felt some questions were left dangling.I do recommend this one.
