An Honorable Deception
Book 3 of the The Imposters series
400 pages · First published 2024
Lord Yates Fairfax leads the Imposters, an elite Edwardian private-investigation firm whose success depends on hiding the identities of its unconventional members. When new client Lady Alethia Barremore is shot after asking them to find her missing former nanny, Yates realizes her apparently simple case has exposed something much darker. Lady Lavinia Hemming discovers her old friends are the celebrated investigators and promptly recruits herself while carrying painful family secrets of her own. As the inquiry moves deeper into the respectable world’s hidden crimes, Yates, Alethia, and Lavinia confront danger, loyalty, and a complicated triangle of affection in which honor is not always the same thing as truth. This historical romantic suspense suits readers who enjoy private investigators, dangerous secrets, complicated loyalties, and questions of faith and honor.
