Lady Miranda's family wanted her to marry
and settle herself down, just as his own mother wanted for him.
Lady Miranda wanted to continue to live life to the fullest, just
as he wanted for himself. Could they somehow join forces, giving
their families the impression they were doing what each family
desired? There was no doubt in Stafford's mind that the lady would
do most anything to avoid marriage, and would be especially game to
pursue subterfuge. At the very least, they could avoid any real
entanglements for the duration of the Season. It was so crazy a
scheme it just might work.

He turned to glance again at his mother, who
now made no pretense at hiding her satisfaction at his supposed
capitulation. Oh, yes. He would play her game to the fullest, and
his partner in crime, although she was yet unaware of her new
status, had just been announced to the room.
