In Regency-era England, Lottie disguises herself as her reclusive brother to fight for social reform in Parliament, only to find a rival in the infuriatingly clever, proper, and attractive Duke of Warwick. Their battle of wits sparks an undeniable attraction--but when the duke grows suspicious, Lottie risks not only exposure of her secret identity but the ruination of her reputation and everything she's worked so hard for.
***
In London, 1806, Miss Charlotte (Lottie) Langley is a young woman with ambition far beyond what society allows. Women are expected to embroider, pour tea, marry well, and leave politics to the men. Determined to have a say in her country's future, Lottie assumes the identity of her reclusive brother and infiltrates the all-male world of Parliament to fight for abolition and factory reform.
But politics proves far more dangerous when she catches the attention and suspicion of the maddening Duke of Warwick. What begins as a battle of ideologies and wits soon turns into something far more complicated: a mutual fascination and attraction that neither of them can ignore.
The duke seems determined to uncover the secret identity that Lottie has worked so hard to conceal. However, as the danger surrounding her deception grows and others become suspicious, even her disguise may not protect her from the frustratingly observant duke who could ruin everything... or from falling for him.
