Someone please explain to me why this man signed marriage papers for a fake marriage and nonexistent wife???

Claire would be the means by which she would gain her revenge thanks to Jule's father. She had blackmailed James Grayson into revealing the intentions of Jules's father. But instead of a gift to this on the father had given her a means to Jules's end when he'd found a "real" Claire to play the part of the fabricated bride.

I've read this passage 5 times I'm still confused.

Why is the heroine from Book 1 getting a POV in this?

Wait. So he's in love with his friend who just got married but he doesn't believe in love?.......

Our heroine is a talented artist - painter. Apparently very talented. It took Michaelangelo 4 years to paint the Sistine Chapel. In just a few weeks, our heroine painted part of a ballroom ceiling and her entire bedroom in similar style! LOL
Story is a lot of mystery/intrigue with people being manipulated for revenge and reveals more and more towards the end of the book. Pretty well paced.

Don't you hate it when book covers don't match the story period. So far this is an intriguing story. I never read the synopsis once I have the book off a book list. So imagine my surprise & disappointment to find out in the first few pages that this is in the 1600s and their are no kilted highlanders or a castle, just a modest manor. BAH!
