Summary

She dreams of marrying a nobleman. Too bad he's only pretending to be one.

Cecilia Cosgrove’s beauty opens doors and hearts everywhere she goes. With a marquess courting her, the status and wealth her family is counting on her to obtain is finally within her reach—until she meets Jacques Levesque, the French nobleman who immediately pegs her as affected and superficial. While piqued and offended, Cecilia secretly begins to wonder whether he might not have a point.

Poor French émigré Jacques Levesque has been disguised as a French nobleman for almost as long as he can remember, trying his hardest to keep his head down in a society obsessed with rank and high birth. But when Cecilia Cosgrove comes into his life, he finds it hard to maintain his façade—or to want to.

While Cecilia struggles between the desire to please others and the wish to pursue her own course, Jacques's interest in her provokes a powerful enemy intent on taking him down. With love, acceptance, and the future on the line for them both, Cecilia and Jacques must decide whether a life lived behind a mask is any life at all.

Story entertaining enough and narrator better than the last two in this series. Beyond irritated by characters ‘swallowing’ continuously when emotional, ‘wagging their eyebrows’ at people (?), ‘hearts thumping’, and ‘whipping around’. Story itself entertaining enough and narrator slightly better than the two previous in this series.

The authors limited vocabulary.
