The Counterfeit Lady

Sons of the Spy Lord #4

by Alina K. Field

Freedom!

Vowing she’ll never submit to an arranged marriage, an earl’s daughter bolts for the remote seaside cottage that should be hers upon marriage.

But instead of a quiet respite from her controlling family, she finds her refuge occupied by the last man she ever wants to see again—an American artist, who’s also a thief.

And quite possibly one of her father’s spies.

The story revolves around Lady Perpetua, a great British spymaster's daughter and Fox, an American artist/spy working for Lady Perpetua's father.

There is a lot of backstory here which I found a bit difficult to follow. This is book 4 in the series. I haven't read the preceding books and I wish I had. I was intrigued, and the pace was good throughout. I would be happy to start at book one to gain a better understanding of the characters as they all seem interesting. The set up for the next book where Lord Shaldon, the spymaster himself gets his comeuppance sounds well worth the read.

There is a mildly described love scene.

Engrossing

I read this book in 1 day. It kept me interested all the way thru. Story of a restless and bored young lady and her adventure in running away.
