She’s not exactly a lady…

Seventeen-year-old Emerald Dixon is the worst seamstress in London. Officially.

It’s not exactly her fault. No matter how hard she tries, she’s lacking the skills that she’s “supposed” to have. Sewing? Nope. Needlework? Absolutely not. Instead, her mind keeps drifting off into daydreams—ones filled with fantastical lands, high society balls, and dancing with dashing young men. And above all, trying to find the father she’s never known.

But when her skipping stone hits an attractive young earl, the gilded doors to society are suddenly opened to Emerald…if she has the courage to enter.

The Earl of Townsend, eighteen-year-old Will Granville, knows how it feels to be trapped in your own life. His life is a non-stop reminder that he will never fill his father’s shoes—or become the marquess he’s expected to become. But by helping Emerald go undercover into society, he has a chance to get to know the curly-haired beauty he can’t stop daydreaming about…and avoid the growing complications of his own life.

Of course, infiltrating the very crème de la crème of London society isn’t exactly easy, and Emerald and Will are already in over their heads. Because this glittering, opulent world has more secrets than either of them could ever know.

And a single stolen kiss could send the whole fragile façade crashing down around them…
