A desperate debutante. A disgraced privateer. One wildly inconvenient summer. After causing one scandal too many in London’s Marriage Mart, an unconventional heiress flees to Cornwall with a forged invitation, her two closest friends, and their shared dreams of freedom. A seaside estate, no suitors, and no expectations? Perfect. Except the mansion is crumbling… and the staff are decidedly suspicious.

The estate’s current occupants have plans of their own, and everything is proceeding smoothly until three determined young women arrive, sharp-witted, fearless, and far too perceptive for comfort. As fake identities tangle and sparks ignite, their battle of wits becomes something far more intoxicating. In this sun-drenched Regency romp of secrets and schemes, the greatest risk isn’t getting caught, it’s falling in love.
