Introducing the Bow Street Bachelors — men who work undercover for London’s first official police force — and the women they serve to protect…and wed?

Will a false marriage…

Shipping heiress Georgiana Caversteed is done with men who covet her purse more than her person. Even worse than the ton’s lecherous fortune hunters, however, is the cruel cousin determined to force Georgie into marriage. If only she could find a way to be…widowed? Georgie hatches a madcap scheme to wed a condemned criminal before he’s set to be executed. All she has to do is find an eligible bachelor in prison to marry her, and she’ll be free. What could possibly go wrong?

…Lead to true and lasting love?

Benedict William Henry Wylde, scapegrace second son of the late Earl of Morcott and well-known rake, is in Newgate prison undercover, working for Bow Street. Georgie doesn’t realize who he is when she marries him — and she most certainly never expects to bump into her very-much-alive, and very handsome, husband of convenience at a society gathering weeks later. Soon Wylde finds himself courting his own wife, hoping to win her heart since he already has her hand. But how can this seductive rogue convince brazen, beautiful Georgie that he wants to be together…until actual death do they part?

“….. In this first book of a series that will eventually focus on Benedict’s friends, Bateman (The Devil To Pay) mixes a marriage of convenience with fake dating while exploring class differences. Georgie and Benedict have instant chemistry, and their growing respect as they get to know each other adds depth and emotion. Several secondary characters (including a humorous subplot with Georgiana’s younger sister and the vicar’s son) further complement the layered and well-crafted main story line. VERDICT Bateman applies subtle twists on favorite tropes in a story filled with humorous banter and unexpected plot turns. An exciting series opener.– 2019 Library Journal, L

A very good start to a new series…..
