She handles the dress shop's publicity and sales, he's an earl and a bit of a hot mess.

4 POVs- the 2 MCs and 2 subplot characters, MCs are 23 & 27, light spice, 1830s London, part roadtrip, part running a con

I really liked this one. It has one of my favorite ramp ups to a sex scene and my new favorite "I love you" declaration.

Sophie has a lot of Locke Lamora energy re: pretending to be other people. And Harry is just a guy stopping himself from punching things while helping his sister. He also very refreshingly owns his feelings and then acts kinda irrationally while calling out why. It's an excellent one-two punch.
