The Heiress Masquerade

Bridgerton gets a taste of The Princess Switch in this irrepressibly charming historical romance.

New York heiress Aimee Thornton-Jones knows her mother's plans—to ship Aimee to England and marry her off to an eligible, titled lord. Only Aimee has no interest in becoming another "dollar princess." Instead, she concocts a daring plan: to swap places with her fair (but poor) cousin for six weeks as a trainee at her father's company and prove she's just as valuable as any son. There's just the small matter of her father's too-perfect protégé, who she's certain is endangering the entire business.

Harrison Stone doesn't know what to make of the determined young woman in his employ. She's vexingly irksome, reckless with her safety, and riles him at every turn. Each day, he's torn between shipping her home … or thoroughly kissing her pert mouth. But Harrison—who loathes a charlatan—is certain she's hiding something. And with the company under threat of sabotage, he's resolved to find out exactly who this young lady is.

But in this masquerade of secrets, all it will take is one illicit kiss to ignite the spark and bring them—unknowingly—to the edge of disaster …
