He's on a top-secret assignment.
All of London knows Beau Bellham as the Marquess of Bellingham, but only a trusted few know he also works for the Home Office. His specialty? Scouting out traitors to the Crown. So, when one of his friends pretends to be a footman at a house party in order to find a wife, Beau decides posing as a valet at the same gathering will be the perfect cover for him to spy on the men he suspects of treason. What Beau doesn't count on, however, is butting heads with a far-too-certain-of-herself maid who gives him hell at every turn.
She's about to blow his cover.
Miss Marianne Notley is a lady's maid with more secrets than hairpins. When she meets her employer's new valet, she distrusts him immediately. Never mind his dashing good looks and irrepressible charm, he's a bit too sure of himself and asks a few too many questions for her liking. She's on a mission to reveal the mysterious valet's true identity, and she's not above wielding her own considerable charms to do it. But before long, all the pretending Marianne and Beau are doing feels alarmingly real—and a lot like falling in love. When they finally discover the truth about each other, will it spark a face-off for the ages or a love that lasts for all time?

I knew it. But I didn't know who Marianne was in addition to being the sister! That was a plot twist I should have seen coming though.
I enjoyed it but not as much as the previous two books. It was missing something.
I liked Bell and Marianne, though the love confession was a little over the top for me. But I liked it. I was hoping for more secondary characters (Frances and Kendall and Worth and Julianna) and I'm sad we didn't get more of them and more of their friendship. And it felt like Clayton was barely there as a friend either, which is a shame cause I love him too.
It was a nice story and I'm glad everything ended happily.
