WASP Mating Rituals

Here’s the dish: Peggy Adams is comfortable in her New York life, until she makes an unusual agreement with Luke Sedgwick, the last scion of an old New England family. The deal: Stay married for a year, and the two will inherit the Sedgwick mansion in New Nineveh, a quaint, preppy Connecticut town.

But entering Luke’s world isn’t easy. Peggy must quickly learn how to pass herself off as a proper Connecticut wife and a perfect WASP. (Hint: At parties, nobody actually eats the food.) To make matters worse, she finds herself falling in love with the man she’s married to—despite that he seems to have no feelings for her.
Doesn't this book sound right up our alley?! I am SO excited to get my hands on a copy and read away. The book will be released May 29th, 2009 so we can all have copies just in time for summer reading. Stay tuned because I feel a book giveaway might be necessary to celebrate the release of this fabulous book!
*I totally forgot to note that bff Muffy (thank you for the reminder Muffy!) will also be giving FIVE copies of this book away so you have double the chances to win!
