In the trying art of balancing investigations and love, a
detective must determine his priorities when faced with dangerous circumstances
that could threaten everything he holds dear.
As the leader of the Imposters, an elite private investigative firm, Lord
Yates Fairfax has made an art of concealing his identity. But when his newest
client, the beautiful Lady Alethia Barremore, is shot while leaving their
meeting, he throws caution to the wind and rushes to her aid. Though Lady
Alethia thought she was only looking for her missing former nanny, she has
clearly stumbled upon something much more dangerous.
Lady Lavinia Hemming suspects her longtime friends hold more secrets than
they're willing to admit, and when she stumbles upon the truth that they're the
esteemed Imposters, she recruits herself into the firm. While she is happy for
the distraction of an investigation, Lavinia's own family secrets continue to
haunt her. And the one thing bringing laughter back into her life--her
friendship with Yates--lands her squarely on the disagreeable side of her best
friend: his sister.
Tormented by a past she doesn't dare voice aloud, Lady Alethia does what she
can to help her handsome host, her new friends, and the investigators. But as
clues lead them deeper into the dark side of society, Alethia, Yates, and
Lavinia learn anew that the gentry isn't always noble . . . even as they fight
to hold fast to their own honor.
My Thoughts:
This has really been a fun series about private investigators with some unexpected twists on who they are and why they are. This third in the series features Lady Lavinia Hemming's story and her relationship with Lord Yates Fairfax, their complicated and enduring love for one another. Buckle up because theirs was a bit of a roller coaster.
Lavinia has had a very hard time lately. She may have every one of her heart's desires, but what she wants the most is to be seen and loved. She is very good at putting on an act and a false persona, so much so that she would make a great Imposter. But what she really is hiding is herself. She has come from quite a traumatic experience, and she is wondering how much of her life was real and how much was a lie. She only hopes her truest friends will not turn against her.
Yates has loved Lavinia for a long time. However, he feels he is certainly not worthy of her. He also sees her and that she is hiding herself away. Not just due to her poor health either. Enter Lady Alethia and things get really complicated. The test of all of their wills and loves will be put on the line in this stunning conclusion to The Imposters.
