Utgivarens beskrivning
From New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch comes a sparkling new regency romcom in which an heiress disguises herself as a maid in her fiance’s household to see if he really is a scoundrel as the gossips claim.
Before entering into a supremely-advantageous arranged marriage with James Clay, the new Duke of Earnhurst, clever, independent Lady Meg Pinwell has to see if he’s really the rake he’s rumored to be. But how is a well-bred young lady going to make sure he’s the man she wants?
With the help of her Aunt Clara, they plan some discreet reconnaissance at the Duke’s country estate. Meg will pretend to be her aunt’s maid/companion to see the true state of affairs at Earnhurst Manor.
But Meg isn’t the only one pretending to be someone she isn’t: In order to escape Clara (who is surely a marriage hunter!), James has traded places with the excellent Riniken, the former Duke’s butler. Soon everyone is falling in love with the absolute wrong person! They say the course of true love never does run smooth… at Earnhurst, it’s running amuck!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hidden identities abound in this lighthearted Regency comedy of errors from bestseller Enoch (Every Duke Has His Day). Meg Pinwell has spent a year unhappily engaged to a man she's never met: James Clay, Duke of Earnhurst, whose rakish reputation proceeds him. To call off the wedding, she needs proof of her fiancé's misdeeds, so she disguises herself as her aunt's companion on a visit to the duke's home, hoping to dig up some dirt. However, upon their unexpected arrival, James, annoyed at the thought of entertaining guests, pretends to be the butler, leaving his estate manager to pose as the duke. After a sprained ankle forces Meg and her aunt to stay with the duke for two weeks, all four characters must extend their charades, resulting in a series of amusing twists as they struggle to keep their false identities straight while each falls for whom they believe is the wrong person. Filled with playful scheming, whimsical mishaps, and endearingly impish characters, this sweet romance is sure to charm.
