An Elegant Façade by Kristi Ann Hunter

Georgina Hawthorne, Lady Georgina thinks that if she marries the right man, she can keep a secret for life. If that isn't a facade, just hold on because there is so much more. Colin McCrae finally decides that there is more to Georgina than his prior assessment of her. She is actually a complex woman, and possibly worth of marriage after all.

With Colin's funding, he could be good for Georgina. He doesn't have the lustrous family names to fall back on, but he is a good prospect to balance out the secrets that Georgina is hiding. If they are going to be a good match, then there are issues to overcome. Colin has to see if Georgina will let God work in her life. As Georgina struggles to cast aside selfishness and low self-esteem, among other things, a life she hadn't considered is a possibility. Getting from that to where she needs to go is a spiritual journey, one that you have to read to see just how it turns out.

This book follows A Noble Masquerade, and you could read it alone, but I think I would have lost too much to appreciate it as much as I have if I hadn't read A Noble Masquerade prior. All in all a very good read, and an author that I'd like to read more from.

My copy came from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review and nothing more.

Lady Georgina Hawthorne has always known she must marry well. After years of tirelessly planning every detail of her debut season, she is poised to be a smashing success and have her choice of eligible gentlemen.

With money and powerful business connections but no title, Colin McCrae is invited everywhere but accepted nowhere. He intends to marry someday, but when he does it will not be to a shallow woman like Lady Georgina, whose only concerns appear to be status and appearance.

But beneath her flawless exterior, Georgina's social aspirations stem from a shameful secret she is desperately trying to keep hidden--and that Colin is too close to discovering. Drawn to each other despite their mutual intent to avoid association, is the realization of their dreams worth the sacrifices they'll be forced to make?
