Lucy Penhallow is the fmc and is the leader of the Mischief and Mayhem bookclub. Despite her wealth, she has chosen to be a wallflower and does everything she can to avoid the fortune hunters in Society. When at a ball, she and her best friend's brother witness her friend being kidnapped, she is determined to do everything she can to solve the mystery. And if Viscount Gilford is willing to help her do it, that can only be a good thing, right?
Viscount Gilford (Will) is home from Paris after finding out his steward has stolen a lot of money from him. Now he needs to marry in order to fix things but there is only one heiress he finds himself constantly drawn to...his sister's best friend Lucy. When he and Lucy find themselves linked in the tabloids due to their working together to find out what happened to Vera, Will knows he needs to do the right thing by Lucy but he doesn't want her to think he is marrying her for her money. Thankfully the romance bit is the least of their problems and they find themselves betrothed.
The mystery takes mainstage in this novel however and I'll admit I was a bit surprised around how this one turned out as I didn't expect it (no - I won't give it away). As Lucy and Will (and Lucy's friends) work to find out what happened to their friend and bring her home safely, the find themselves right in the middle of danger.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. The friendship between the ladies was great and I loved that they've continued the bookclub. The romance itself was well done and I loved how Lucy and Will connected and built their relationship. I've enjoyed Manda Collins' books in the past and this one is no exception. I'll definitely be picking up the next book in this series when I can.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
