How far would you go to save yourself? Anne de Bourgh is dying, her body weak, ruined by her father's and her own alchemical experiments. She has just one chance to save herself and get everything she ever wanted. All she has to do is steal someone else's life. Elizabeth Bennet doesn't know how lucky she is. She's strong, beautiful, clever... and oblivious to the fact that Fitzwilliam Darcy is hopelessly in love with her. Such a waste. Or it would be, if Anne didn't have a plan. What would you do if someone stole your life? Elizabeth Bennet wakes in a strange bed unable to breathe. Her body won't obey. Her reflection shows another woman's dying face. Anne de Bourgh has used forbidden alchemy to switch their bodies, and she's already using Elizabeth's stolen form to claim everything Elizabeth never knew she wanted. When Darcy proposes, Anne says yes and demands they marry immediately. Now Elizabeth is trapped in Anne's failing body, kept sedated and guarded, while Anne plans a wedding that's only days away.

Elizabeth contacts her sister Jane, the only person who will believe the impossible. Together, they race to brew a reversal potion. But Anne has been planning this theft for years. She has Mrs. Jenkinson keeping Elizabeth drugged and guarded. She knows Elizabeth will never obtain the rare, expensive ingredients needed for reversal.

Per ongeluk de missie van een Britse spion saboteren? Niet ideaal. Verliefd worden op hem terwijl je je fout probeert te herstellen? Nog erger. Anna Bells talent voor wiskunde heeft haar nooit in de steek gelaten - totdat ze zich vergist in het karakter van Lord Ashburton. Die paardenliefhebbende gokker die ze negeerde op het huwelijk van haar zus? Blijkt een Britse geheim agent te zijn. Die verdachte nachtelijke ontmoetingen? Spionage, geen verraad. De documenten die ze stal om hem te ontmaskeren? Kritieke informatie die h j juist moest onderscheppen. Oeps. Nu moet Anna Ashburton helpen zijn missie op het Congres van Wenen te redden, wat betekent dat ze veel te veel tijd doorbrengt met een man die zonder zijn masker wel erg aantrekkelijk is. Franse geheimen ontcijferen bij kaarslicht, geheime boodschappen doorgeven op bals, doen alsof ze elkaar minachten in het openbaar terwijl hun priv -momenten gevaarlijk geladen zijn - het is een ramp in de maak. Vooral als een meesterspion besluit dat Anna's briljante geest het perfecte wapen is om Groot-Brittanni te verraden. Tussen spionage, codering en een ongelegen aantrekkingskracht tot een man die leeft van leugens, ontdekt Anna dat sommige fouten je precies brengen waar je hoort te zijn. Een zoete Regency-romance met spionnen, geheimen en gestolen kussen.
