Scandalous spy meets practical beauty. Why not pretend an engagement? After caring for a crotchety countess, Patience Ramsey wants a more purposeful position. So, when Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency offers her the post of assistant to amateur apothecary Augusta Orwell, Patience jumps at the chance. Then her new employer introduces her at an Easter house party as the bride-to-be of her nephew Sir Harold Orwell. Miss Thorn's cat Fortune may approve of Sir Harry, but Patience has no interest in borrowing the handsome baronet. She's had her heart trampled on by false promises before. Sir Harry has enough on his hands trying to restore the family name while spying for the English against the French. But the pretty Patience could cover for him when he must ply his trade during the house party, so he convinces her to agree to the charade. As Harry's work brings danger closer, he begins to realize Patience embodies everything he could want in a wife. Can he convince her to overlook the scandals surrounding him and exchange their false engagement for a true love? If you like sweet, witty Regency romances, then you'll love this second entry in the Fortune's Brides series by award-winning author Regina Scott. 5 Stars! "There is much to hold your attention in this novel. Harry is pretending an engagement to track a spy, all the while hosting an Easter house party, carrying on his usual activities for the Crown, and planning to travel behind enemy lines on a rescue mission. Then there is the romance and occasional humor inserted as well. (Sounds like a fabulous movie to me.) Regina Scott writes some of today's best Historical Romance novels!" — The Huntress Reviews Continue the romance today. Fortune's Brides: Only a matchmaking cat can hunt true love.

We first met Patience in the first book of this series where we saw how browbeaten and overworked she was. Now she has hopes to improve her situation. She is suspicious of Sir Harry, but she carries on the pretense of their engagement.
Sir Harry's reputation and that of his family precedes him wherever he foes. He is doing what he can to salvage his reputation. He is attracted to Patience, but he has his hands full saving the life of a British ally who has been sending him information from France.
I had expected Miss Meredith Thorn's story to remain more of a mystery through the series. But she has it out with the barrister from the previous book, Julian, and makes her feelings known.
This is a clean, fun Regency romance that I would recommend to any reader. ( )
