Jane Feather's Regency romp lands you in 1800s England, where Lady Harriet Devere is juggling a secret identity, a crumbling estate, and an inconvenient attraction to the one man who could expose her. She's been masquerading as a respectable widow to protect her family's fortune, but when Julius Forsythe — sharp-eyed, dangerously curious — starts asking questions, her carefully constructed lies begin to unravel. Feather writes historical romance with wit and heat, balancing ballroom intrigue with genuine stakes. The banter crackles, the chemistry simmers, and the plot moves fast enough to keep you reading past midnight. If you like your Regency heroines clever rather than demure, and your heroes intrigued rather than overbearing, this delivers exactly what you came for.
