She's not who she seems...
On her 25th birthday, Charlotte Appleby receives a most unusual gift from the Faerie godmother she never knew she had: the ability to change shape.
Penniless and orphaned, she sets off for London to make her fortune as a man. But a position as secretary to Lord Cosgrove proves unexpectedly challenging. Someone is trying to destroy Cosgrove and his life is increasingly in jeopardy.
As Charlotte plunges into London’s backstreets and brothels at Cosgrove’s side, hunting his persecutor, she finds herself fighting for her life—and falling in love…

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
While I enjoyed the idea, the whole story was based on the premise of deception which I personally hate in my books.
Charlotte was so innocent is was almost nauseating. By the end of the book I wanted to strip the word 'pego' from the english language and burn it.
Otherwise it was a very typical historical romance with a tiny bit of 'magic' thrown in to make it original. However I was pissed of at the end when Charlotte promised to never use her magic again (even when Cosgrove said she could). What the hell?! You have an amazing gift and you are just going to throw it away? Stupid.
