To earn the money to fund her own bakery, Nina Finch became an expert art forger under the tutelage of her art-forger brother. Nina is about ready to leave her life of crime when their work comes to the attention of London’s best art critic, Lord Alan De’Ath. Nina fortuitously secures a position as the art critic’s amanuensis in order to foil his attempt to find the source of the forgeries hanging in his brother’s house. As they work together, Alan begins to see that Nina isn’t who she seems, but she may also be the one to finally steal his heart.
VERDICT This third installment in the “Duke Undone” series (following The Runaway Duchess) can stand alone and is recommended for those who enjoy steamy Victorian era–set stories that feature detailed careers and cross-class romances, or patrons looking for Elizabeth Everett read-alikes.
