In Edwardian London, not all that glitters is gold as a lady and an
intelligence officer's secret mission take them from the city's
dazzling ballrooms to its covert intelligence offices. Sir Merritt
Livingstone has spent a decade serving the monarch in the field,
but when pneumonia lands him behind a desk in the War Office
Intelligence Division just as they're creating a new secret
intelligence branch, he's intent on showing his worth. He suspects
an aristocrat of leaking information to Germany as tensions mount
between the two countries, but he needs someone to help him prove
it, so he turns to The Imposters, Ltd. No one knows who they are,
but their results are beyond compare. Left with an estate on the
brink of bankruptcy after their father's death, Lady Marigold
Fairfax and her brother open a private investigation firm for the
elite to spy on the elite. Dubbed The Imposters, Ltd., their
anonymous group soon becomes the go-to for the crème of society
who want answers delivered surreptitiously. But the many secrets
Marigold learns about her peers pale in comparison to her shock
when she and her brother are hired to investigate her best friend's
father as a potential traitor. Lady Marigold is determined to
discover the truth for her friend's sake, and she's more determined
still to keep her heart from getting involved with this enigmatic
new client . . . who can't possibly be as noble as he
seems. "White's well-woven plot is engaging from start to finish
with delightful threads of mystery, romance, and
inspiration."--CARRIE TURANSKY, award-winning author
1906 After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady
Emily Scofield and her friends must hide the unprecedented
discoveries they've made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family.
Horrified by her brother, who will stop at nothing to prove himself
to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her
family--even if it means being cut off entirely. Bram Sinclair,
Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the
Knights of the Round Table--an interest he's kept mostly hidden for
the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that
could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece
the legends together. As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of
the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of
archaeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide
what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to
claim the treasure . . . or sacrificing everything in the name of
selfless love?
