Secrets Between Lovers by Charlie Lane

Uncovering secrets can be dangerous. She has no other choice.
Lady Maggie’s dowry is gone, her family’s estate is in disrepair, and each new work of art her parents purchase lead them closer to bankruptcy. They’re all headed for ruination unless she can use the yearly house party her parents host to discover secrets and spin them into gold. What’s a little bit of blackmail when it’s done to save your family? And the mysterious and gorgeous new guest, Mr. Tobias Blake, will prove the perfect first mark.

Tobias is an expert at keeping secrets. From his clothing to his quips, everything about him is a carefully constructed costume. He’d rather the world see a fop and fool than risk getting hurt again. Keeping his secrets at the Waneborough house party should be as easy as breathing. Except his host’s observant and charming daughter sees right through his charade to the ambitious artist beneath.

Maggie needs secrets to save her family, but Tobias won’t reveal his. Success, family, love—they’ll lose it all if they can’t learn to trust each other.
