Two servants team up to fool London society in this Edwardian romance by the New York Times–bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries.

She is a lady’s maid who longs to be a lady. How else can Lucy Balfour hope to win the favor of Andrew, Viscount Harvey, the toast of the town, who seems ready to take a bride at last? There is only one way to command his attention. It seems an impossible dream. Even the first step is daunting: Lucy must become the peer of her own mistress, the coldly beautiful Lady Angela, who is also determined to claim Andrew as her own.

But there is Hamish MacGregor, the wily old butler, who promises to make Lucy’s dream come true. With Lucy’s unaccountable good luck at baccarat, they can win a fortune. With his cunning, they may conquer London society as “father” and “daughter” and meet the king himself! Having served the rich, he knows how they operate, and Hamish MacGregor is determined to beat them at their own game. And having met Andrew Harvey, Lucy Balfour determines she will never be a servant again…
