Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue meets Bridgerton in this stunning queer romance by KJ Charles, author of The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting.

'KJ Charles is, in my opinion, a titan of her genre' — TALIA HIBBERT, bestselling author of the Brown Sisters series

Nicolas-Marc, Comte de Valois de La Motte, is making a splash in Society. The son of a French noblewoman wrongly convicted for a notorious crime, he hopes to restore his mother's reputation, if only he can raise the funds. Or, at least, that's his story.

Titus Pilcrow, an unassuming shopkeeper, accidentally married an immensely wealthy woman on her deathbed. Now possessed of a fortune, he's the target of every conman and beggar in London. Including Nico.

Broke and desperate, Nico latches on to Titus. It's his big chance to get rich — until he falls in love with the man he needs to cheat. Still, Nico is sure they can have a happy ending together. If he can just find a way out of his own web of lies...

'An absolute romp of a book . . . I read it in one glorious day' — T. KINGFISHER, Sunday Times bestselling author of Hemlock & Silver
