Summary
Peace has finally been established between all 13 clans. The celebration of the new treaty goes well enough - until Prince Reghan of the Broadleaf clan settles his eyes on Abby. To protect her from the prince's aggressive advances, Marcus proclaims that Abby is his betrothed, despite her being just his friend (and the object of his indefinable feelings). The prince is skeptical - so he decides to test the claim by throwing the pair a grandiose Grounder wedding. Lexa makes it clear that Marcus and Abby cannot refuse; the whole peace is at stake if the prince, known for being easily provoked, finds out he was lied to.
It's up to Marcus and Abby to keep up the facade of a romantic relationship and go through with the wedding. Their mission is definitely going to be awkward, but achievable for the sake of the alliance. However, things turn complicated when they both realize that pretending to be in love is alarmingly easy...

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a headstrong widow must be in want of all the happiness for her daughter — and a slightly more exciting life than the serene countryside of Hertfordshire, 1814. But when two wealthy gentlemen rent the estate bordering the cottage of the impoverished Griffins, the news rouses every marriage-minded mother of the area into a fierce joy - except for Abby Griffin. The reason for her mortification is the steely gaze of her new neighbour, Admiral Kane; a man she hasn't seen for two decades and would've desired the fact remain forever unaltered.
After 8 long years, Admiral Kane finds the courage to offer some courteous assistance to the wife his dear friend has left behind - only to be faced with a pair of brown, fiery eyes and memories of the past so shameful he can barely hold her gaze. To the chagrin of the local ladies, he has absolutely no intention to obtain himself a wife by the end of the hunting season, but as time passes, he finds himself being persuaded of the opposite by the terrifying hope growing in his heart...
A story of love, family, simmering passion, persuasion and pride & prejudice. Or in a nutshell: my love letter for Jane Austen.
