Book Description

Blurb

From the backcover of (Mills and Boon Romance #3049), March 1989, UK Edition:

It was a mistake. It just had to be. Surely Howard would come to his senses and realize Holly was the one for him...and when he did, she'd be waiting.

But meanwhile Holly Witchell was determined to make Howard Neston appreciate what he had lost in jilting her for her glamorous schoolmate, Rosamund. Drew Hammond was the ideal person to help her - after all, Rosamund had jilted him to become engaged to Howard. It was logical for Holly and Drew to pretend to be lovers while they waited for their real loves to change their minds...


From the inside cover of (Mills and Boon Romance #3049), March 1989, UK Edition:

'You don't need to wrap me in cotton wool, Drew. I ca see the truth for myself...Howard never felt for me what he feels for Rosamund. The whole thing was a stupid idea. I might as well go right back to London.'

'You're not still brooding about that kiss, are you?' Drew asked her quietly.

'Wouldn't you be? Oh, Drew, what's wrong with me?' she wailed, suddenly unable to control her misery any longer. What is it that makes me so undesirable?'

'Oh, Holly, you aren't undesirable. Far from it. Shall I prove it to you?'

From Harlequin Presents #1282, July 1990, US Edition:

It was a mistake, it had to be! Howard would come to his senses and realize Holly was the one for him ... Though she was beautiful, good-hearted, and a successful designer at the age of twenty-one, Holly Witchell thought her life was over when her wealthy, upper-crust beau Howard announced his engagement to elegant Rosamund. Determined to make Howard see his mistake, Holly agrees to attend his engagement party, buys the dress of her life, and drives to the event. But destiny has other plans for her: two flat tires and one dirt road later she's rescued by Drew Hammond, Rosamund's jilted boyfriend, who offers her shelter at his lovely, homey, hard-working farm. Will Holly's determination to distract Howard and her belief that Drew grieves for Rosamund prevent her from recognizing true love - and the one man who can offer it to her for life?
