Description
When a string of murders threatens to derail the glittering London season, the Earl of St. Merryn turns to an unlikely ally: Elenora Lodge, a woman with the poise to pass for high society—and the steadiness to keep secrets under pressure. Hired to pose as his fiancée, Elenora must navigate drawing rooms, scheming rivals, and the relentless scrutiny of “husband-hunters,” all while the Earl pursues a dangerous killer. As their carefully arranged appearances blur into something more personal, both must confront the cost of deception and the power of trust. Blending Amanda Quick’s signature blend of Regency-era romance and suspense, this story explores identity, class performance, and the thin line between protection and obsession.
