About the book
A Lively blend of intrigue, wit, and Regency-era romance. The story follows Agatha Cunnington, a clever young woman who invents a fictitious husband-Mortimer Applequist-to protect her independence and conceal her true mission in London. But when a ,mysterious, dangerously charming man appears claiming to be her "husband", Agatha is pulled into a world of spies, secrets, and unexpected passion. As the impostor's motives intertwine with her own, Agatha must decide whom she can trust and how far she is willing to go to protect her family and her heart. Celeste Bradley delivers a fast-paced tale filled with deception, banter, and the irresistible tension of two people forced into partnership by a lie that grows more complicated-and more compelling-by the day.
