Patricia Brent, Spinster

by H. G. Jenkins's

"She invented a fiancé to silence the pity. She never expected him to become real."

Patricia Brent is tired of being pitied. A twenty-four-year-old secretary living in a Bloomsbury boarding house, she's officially a "spinster"—and the nosy residents never let her forget it. So she impulsively announces she has a fiancé and will dine with him that very night.

There's just one problem: he doesn't exist.

Desperate, Patricia asks a handsome stranger—Lord Peter Bowen—to play along. He does, charmingly. But what begins as a reckless white lie spirals into gossip, misunderstandings, and unexpected feelings—and the more Patricia tries to untangle herself, the more real her invented romance becomes.
