Synopsis

If Miss Laura Hopkins desired a husband, her beauty, brains, and fortune would make it easy to acquire one. Instead, she prefers to put her charms to another purpose entirely. Using the alias Lady Sterling, she helps young women who have been mistreated or compromised by their employers. Some might see it as theft and blackmail. For Laura, it is a small measure of justice. But while in pursuit of her latest target, she is unexpectedly aided by a gentleman who announces that he is Lord Sterling. As a spy for the Crown, Captain Jeremy Addison, Viscount Sterling, has been assigned all manner of dangerous missions, though none as complicated as investigating the beguiling Lady Sterling. Forced to pose as newlyweds at the home of a disreputable earl, Laura and Jeremy forge an unexpected alliance… and a passionate connection. But can such a dangerous masquerade possibly lead to a real, lasting love?

Goodreads review by PlotTrysts on January 03, 2022

If you want a lighthearted trope-fest of a book, this one's for you. We've got a matchmaking superior officer, spies & codebreakers, a vigilante woman, a pretend marriage with ONLY ONE BED, a reluctant viscount (oh, who's also a virgin), and some carriage action. There's probably more but honestly,......more

4.5 stars rounded up. Rather than pursue a husband as most girls of her station do, Miss Laura Hopkins’ unique circumstances permit her to use her charm and fortune in other ways. She disguises herself and uses the alias of Lady Sterling to help mistreated young women escape from abusive employers. L......more
