Publisher Description
Rumors and Gossip . . . The lifeblood of London
When Olivia Bevelstoke is told that her new neighbor may have killed his fiancée, she doesn't believe it for a second, but, still, how can she help spying on him, just to be sure? So she stakes out a spot near her bedroom window, cleverly concealed by curtains, watches, and waits . . . and discovers a most intriguing man, who is definitely up to something.
Sir Harry Valentine works for the boring branch of the War Office, translating documents vital to national security. He's not a spy, but he's had all the training, and when a gorgeous blonde begins to watch him from her window, he is instantly suspicious. But just when he decides that she's nothing more than an annoyingly nosy debutante, he discovers that she might be engaged to a foreign prince, who might be plotting against England. And when Harry is roped into spying on Olivia, he discovers that he might be falling for her himself . . .

"I just re-read this and it is just wonderful. I've been laughing almost non-stop. The Miss Butterworth bit is too die for. I really loved both Olivia and Harry, they were certainly perfect for each other. This was just a fun, feel-good romance with lots of memorable characters!! "

" This was as brilliantly funny as I was expecting from reading previous books by Julia Quinn. A quick read too! If you're looking for a "proper" Regency romance then this might not be your cup of tea, as Quinn takes a few liberties along the way. "
