Description
In a witty, sensual retelling of “The Princess and the Pea,” Olivia Lytton—hardly the sort of woman a duke would choose—finds herself drawn into the glittering, high-stakes world of aristocratic matchmaking. When Duke Tarquin of Sconce and his formidable mother set their sights on securing the “perfect” bride, Olivia’s sharp wit and unexpected vulnerability complicate every rule of propriety. As a forbidden attraction deepens into an affair that threatens to upend their carefully arranged lives, the pair must decide whether love can survive the very expectations designed to control it. With Eloisa James’s signature blend of romantic heat, fairy-tale charm, and social comedy, this story explores desire, class, and the fine line between performance and truth.
