About this book

When a bored duchess sneaks into one of London's most scandalous soirées in disguise, she's ready for a night of delicious freedom—until she catches the eye of the wickedly charming Lord Strange, who has no idea he's flirting with nobility. What starts as a thrilling masquerade becomes something far more dangerous when genuine attraction ignites between them, forcing them both to question whether the person they've connected with could ever be real outside the shadows. Eloisa James serves up the perfect blend of mischief and passion in this story about two people discovering that sometimes the best relationships begin when you're brave enough to show up as someone entirely new.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
sultryyearningintoxicatingforbiddenelectric

Sultry Regency intrigue meets modern sensuality—think lush strings, breathy vocals, and smoldering indie rock. Jazz-tinged sophistication blends with the tension of forbidden attraction. Artists like Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, and Tom Odell capture stolen moments and dangerous desire in shadowed ballrooms.
