Description
Tired of the Marriage Mart and the political fallout she keeps causing, eccentric heiress Lady Ruby Ballimore flees London for a glamorous princess’s holiday house in Cornwall—only to find a derelict mansion, a suspiciously charming “staff” crew, and a plan that’s already in motion. Captain Malcolm Archer, a former privateer turned con artist, has brought his ragtag men to the estate to smuggle his way into a new life, using the abandoned property as cover—until an uninvited London heiress crashes the party and complicates everything. As Ruby and Archer trade sharp wit and sharper suspicions, their carefully maintained deceptions collide with the heat of attraction, forcing both of them to decide what they’re willing to risk for freedom, family, and truth. With Alexandra Vasti’s signature blend of Regency sparkle, romantic tension, and comedic chaos, this sexy, fast-paced romp explores reinvention, class performance, and the danger—and delight—of seeing through someone before you fall for them.
