Megan Frampton dazzles in the first book in her new series, A School for Scoundrels. Five gentlemen with unbreakable bonds navigate life-and love-in London. Perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean and anyone who loves BRIDGERTON!

To Lady Wilhelmina Bettesford, the game of finding a husband is a competitive sport she wants no part of...until her much-younger step mama forces her to play it. So when her stepmother asks sexy barrister Bram Townsend to pretend to woo the amateur astronomer to boost Wilhelmina's popularity, it's up to Wilhelmina to navigate a fake courtship that will keep the family from forcing her into a marriage-any marriage-before she finally receives the inheritance that will allow her to live as she wants.

The trouble is every time Bram takes her in his arms she has a most difficult time remembering theirs is an act...the make-believe passion feels very real indeed.

Bram Townsend is a man on the way up: living for his books and his beliefs. Squiring Lady Wilhelmina through London's dusk-to-dawn social whirl is hardly an ordeal-she's beautiful, bright, and bold, everything he finds tempting in a woman. Their deal means he can meet the best people while she keeps her family at bay. The challenge is he quickly finds himself wanting her to say yes when she's so determined to say no. She persuaded him to make this impetuous bargain, but how can he convince her to make it real?
