Publisher's summary

Two unlikely allies team up to solve a case in this novel filled with Kate Bateman's signature sparkling voice, exciting adventures, and steamy chemistry.

As a founding member of King & Co., London's most successful private investigation firm, studious Eleanor Law delights in secretly proving that women can solve crimes just as well as men. When a charming con man pretends to be her fictional boss, "Charles King," Ellie knows he's lying, but accepting the scoundrel's offer of help might just be the key to cracking her new case and recovering a priceless manuscript.

"Henri Bonheur"—or "Harry" as he asks to be called—claims his criminal past is behind him, but a man who steals and seduces with such consummate ease can never be trusted. As the investigation draws them deeper into danger and desire, Ellie's infuriated to realize she's developed feelings for her law-breaking accomplice. How can she love the scoundrel when she doesn't even know his real name? And what will happen when Harry's past finally catches up with him?

Ellie and Harry

When Ellie meets Henri Bonheur at a ball, she almost immediately spots him for a con man. His name is her first clue. Somehow Harry manages to talk his way into helping with an investigation pretending to be the mysterious, and non-existent, Mr. King of the King &Co. Investigations firm. His help was his way of testing the firm before he hired them to help him. As annoying as the man is, Ellie manages to fall for him (and he for her). Daisy and Tess see the spark and the possibilities, and decide to help Cupid along. This is a very charming story, well-written, fast-paced, with mystery, secret identity, fun and humor, and a lovely romance. The characters are engaging and likeable. Ellie and her partners are intelligent and confident. Harry is handsome, smart, and a reformed (almost) rake. The chemistry between Harry and Ellie is electric. Harry’s uncle is an entertaining treat. This heartwarming addition to the Her Majesty’s Rebels series is brought to life by the talented Beverley A. Crick.
