What to expect

Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue meets Bridgerton in this stunning queer romance by KJ Charles, author of The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting

'KJ Charles is, in my opinion, a titan of her genre'
– Talia Hibbert, bestselling author of the Brown Sisters series

Nicolas-Marc, Comte de Valois de La Motte, is making a splash in Society. The son of a French noblewoman wrongly convicted for a notorious crime, he hopes to restore his mother’s reputation, if only he can raise the funds. Or, at least, that’s his story.

Titus Pilcrow, an unassuming shopkeeper, accidentally married an immensely wealthy woman on her deathbed. Now possessed of a fortune, he’s the target of every conman and beggar in London. Including Nico.

Broke and desperate, Nico latches on to Titus. It’s his big chance to get rich – until he falls in love with the man he needs to cheat. Still, Nico is sure they can have a happy ending together. If he can just find a way out of his own web of lies . . .

'An absolute romp of a book . . . I read it in one glorious day'
– T. Kingfisher, Sunday Times bestselling author of Hemlock & Silver

Critics Review

An absolute romp of a book. Genderbent Georgette Heyer-style antics. I read it in one glorious day
T. Kingfisher, Sunday Times bestselling author of Hemlock & Silver
Charles combines a rollicking tale of murder, mayhem, and vengeance with a gorgeous romance about an adorably awkward hero and the rogue who sweeps him off his feet. A five-star read, as always
Talia Hibbert, bestselling author of the Brown Sisters series
How to Fake It in Society was so much fun I immediately tore through another half-dozen KJ Charles books. This one was absolutely delightful -- fun, gripping, funny, and hot
Naomi Kritzer, author of Cat Pictures Please
How to Fake it in Society contains the usual KJ Charles charms: a smart, snappy voice; total yet easy immersion in another place and time; and irresistible characters
Jenny Holiday, author of Canadian Boyfriend
KJ Charles is one of the best romance novelists writing today. Historical romance at its finest
Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author, on The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen
My dream historical romance: emotional and intimate, but also full of wit, humor, and a loveable cast of supporting characters. The setting feels so vivid and alive, and every single interaction between the two heroes is pitch perfect. I loved every word of this book
Martha Waters, author of To Woo and to Wed, on The Duke at Hazard
KJ Charles has done it again. This book is extravagant with its pleasures: a lovely romance, precisely colorful period details, excellent side characters, and an enormously fun plot that verges on melodrama
Malka Older, author of The Centenal Cycle series
A high-heat epic
Oprah Daily, on The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen
