Bestselling author Valerie Bowman sets the stage in Regency England for her Playful Brides series, where couples misadventures on the way to the altar are witty, romantic romps based on some of the worlds most beloved plays. The third installment, The Unlikely Lady, is inspired by William Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing. FOR THE BACHELOR AND THE BLUESTOCKING… Certain that no man wants a bluestocking for a wife, Miss Jane Lowndes is careful to wield her books and her spectacles as weapons against matrimony. Convincing her ambitious mama that shes content to stay a spinster is easier said than done, however. Its a good thing Jane is not above a bit of manufactured scandal if it will keep her from the altar, and the argumentative, contrary Lord Garrett Upton… ROMANCE IS NEVER BY THE BOOK With the war over, Garrett is determined to enjoy his bachelors life while he can, even when it means attending a house party in celebration of a friends wedding―and suffering Janes notorious disdain. But when a masquerade ball leads to a mistaken kiss, hes surprised to learn that Janes bookish exterior hides a truly passionate soul. When two such headstrong people are determined to remain unattached, can love lead to a happy ending?
