In Regency England, young ladies make their fortune by marrying it. But Cleo Cooper has come to London with a different idea, she's going to make her fortune by stealing it. Raised abroad by unconventional parents, Cleo has no use for the rules and strictures of the ton. She'll pretend to fit in, but she has a secret scheme. Arthur Ramsey, Duke of Winton, is in the market for a wife. He imagines a sweet, conformable young lady who will gracefully fill the role of Duchess, secure the succession with an heir, and not interfere with his scientific pursuits. That's what he's looking for, but what he finds is Cleo.

"So this is what love feels like."

Gostei bastante da leitura. Achei a história bem interessante, só achei o final um pouco corrido. Talvez o livro poderia ter tido mais capítulos ou não ter se estendido em assuntos não tão importantes. Outra coisa a se levar em consideração é o ponto de vista: não temos apenas um ou dois nessa história, temos vários, de vários personagens diferentes. Tive uma boa experiência com esse tipo de narração, mas, às vezes, precisava pesquisar quem era o personagem ou voltar um pouco a leitura para saber quem ele era, porque não há sinalização de troca de pov. No mais, a história e os personagens são cativantes.

I really enjoyed reading it. I found the story quite interesting, but the ending felt a bit rushed. Perhaps, the book could've had more chapters or not dwelt on less important topics. Another thing to consider is the point of view: there isn't just only one, nor two in this story, but we have a lot of point of views, from a lot of characters. I had a good experience with it, but sometimes I had to go back in the story to remember who was talking at the moment, because there's no indication of a pov switch. Otherwise, the story and the characters are captivating.

"In an environment where an unsaid thought was a waste of brain activity, gossip found fertile ground."
