About this book
Cleopatra Lewis is determined to be London's most forgettable debutante, so she orders the dreariest dresses imaginable to ward off suitors—until she clashes with Jake Addison, a charismatic American who wanted that same costume shop for himself. When these two strike a wickedly fun wager to dress each other, what starts as playful competition sparks into genuine friendship and undeniable chemistry. As Cleo accidentally becomes the belle of the ball and Jake realizes he's fallen hard for her, he's faced with an agonizing question: can a self-made American truly belong in her aristocratic world? This is a delicious Regency romance full of witty banter, swoon-worthy moments, and the kind of chemistry that makes you believe two people from different worlds really can find their way to happily ever after.
