Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation novels have been called "fun and]
fresh" ("Kirkus Reviews") and "clever and playful " ("Detroit Free
Press"). Now she introduces readers to a mismatched pair who find
passion in the most astonishing of places...
Secret agent Augustus Whittlesby has spent a decade undercover in
France, posing as an insufferably bad poet. The French surveillance
officers can't bear to read his work closely enough to recognize
the information drowned in a sea of verbiage.
New York-born Emma Morris Delagardie is a thorn in Augustus's
side. An old school friend of Napoleon's stepdaughter, she came to
France with her uncle, eloped with a Frenchman, and has been
rattling around the salons of Paris ever since. Now widowed, she
entertains herself by holding a weekly salon, and loudly critiquing
Augustus's poetry.
As Napoleon pursues his plans for the invasion of England,
Whittlesby hears of a top-secret device to be demonstrated at a
house party. The catch? The only way in is with Emma, who has been
asked to write a masque for the weekend's entertainment. In this
complicated masque within a masque, nothing goes quite as
scripted--especially Augustus's unexpected feelings for Emma.
