Title: The Marriage Masquerade
First published: 2001
Description: After a heated public debate ends her engagement, Lady Lucianne Gordon has to endure the humiliation of a fourth season. To save herself from her encroaching reputation as a spinster, Lucy must obey her godmother--who just happens to be Queen Charlotte--and be paired off with an eligible bachelor at Her Majesty's masquerade ball.

Lord Oxenby has always prided himself on being a friend of the Queen, but is perplexed when she first orders him to join Lady Lucianne as "Lord and Lady of the Masquerade," and then later as her husband. Oxenby and Lucy have never been friends--not since a miscommunication between them years ago--and to be forced into marriage is difficult for both of them. But living together as man and wife just may be what the couple needs to fall in love...
