The Corset Diaries

He was so handsome she could barely breathe. Or maybe it was just the corset. When Tessa is asked to join A Month in the LIfe of a Victorian Duke, a British historical reality tv show, she was thrilled because it meant an end to her debts. But then she found out about the corsets she'd be stuffed into every day for a month. No woman in her right mind would consent to such a thing, would they? Especially not one with an abundance of curves.
What was even more horrifying was the expectation that she would pretend to be the wife of a complete stranger. Max Edgerton was a man who wanted to give his withdrawn daughter a change of scene, and didn't expect much more than an amusing month pretending to be his distant ducal ancestor. But then he met his TV "wife" Tessa, and all bets were off. While Tessa's delectable self enticed him, it was her shining spirit and wacky sense of humor that kept him at her side. With cameras revealing every embarrasing act...and passionate kisses...all the cast members live with no cell phones, no televisions, and no PMS medication.
But when the production comes under attack, Tessa and Max must find a way to navigate not only the complicated threads of their blossoming romance, but the scheme to take them all down. In a manor in which everyone must strictly follow the Victorian lifestyle, things are bound to go wrong. Like when some harmless lust turns into that other thing. Love was definitely not in the contract. "Reality TV has never been more entertaining than here as the wickedly funny MacAlister has her heroine record her hilarious experiences with a quirky cast of characters and her passionate encounters with Max in a laughter-laced diary that is a saucy, sexy delight." -Booklist "Offbeat and wacky.
