Spending her days in the schoolroom and her nights running a secret self-defense class for women, she has absolutely no interest in a husband. So when Ivy is handed a secret assignment by the spymaster known as the Dove, she sees an opportunity: fake a courtship with the enigmatic Owen Brackley to avoid her conniving father's attempts to marry her off, complete the mission, and finally secure her freedom. Simple. Until it's not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Women across London are succumbing to a strange madness, and they all share a connection to Brackley--the same man who looks at Ivy like he sees right through her and is none too bothered by her lack of ladylike charm. As Ivy gathers gossip like breadcrumbs and dodges increasingly dangerous attempts on Brackley's life, she realizes two things: someone wants the viscount gone, and the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to tell what's real and what's just part of the game. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindsay Lovise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forever\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.35w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538740583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2026 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLindsay Lovise writes historical romances with quirky heroines and a dash of mystery.
