Description:
In the opulent and perilous world of high society's most elite--and most dangerous--families, two investigators must set aside their broken hearts to uncover the truth.
Gemma Parks is known to the London elite as G. M. Parker, a columnist renowned for her commentary on the cream of society. Behind the scenes, she uses her talents to aid the Imposters in their investigations by gathering intel at events and providing alibis for the firm's members through her columns. Yet her clandestine work would be more exhilarating if it weren't for the constant presence of the gentleman who broke her heart.
Graham Wharton has never had eyes for anyone but Gemma, and she left his heart in tatters when she walked away from him. When the Imposters take on a new job to recover a kidnapped boy mistaken for his aristocratic cousin, Graham is determined to use the time with Gemma to not only restore the missing boy, but to also win back the only woman he's ever loved. As they trace the clues laid out before them, Graham and Gemma must devise a noble scheme to save the boy's life and heal their hearts.
About the Author:

My Thoughts:
I have to admit, I’ve tried to write this review 3 times now and I keep coming back to spoilers. And I do NOT want to spoil anything. So, this is my attempt at sharing my thoughts, without ruining the story for anyone else.
Welcome (back) to The Imposters series! Ah!! I've been waiting for this book since reading the first one, “A Beautiful Disguise,” and now I get to wait for Yates’ story. Does anyone else love a great series??? Though this is the second book, you technically don’t have to read them in order. But you should. Because it’s a series . . . right? And also, the first book was fantastic.
This book is about Gemma and Graham, two characters who obviously avoid one another in the first book. After reading it, I was very curious as to their backstory. What had happened to them? And goodness, you may want a tissue or two, or a few more, if you’re a crier. Because their story is so heart-wrenching. I’m not normally a crier, but a few tears escaped, reading about their pain and also their path to the beginning of healing. I so appreciate the kindness and grace with which the author handled their relationship and the restoration of other relationships throughout the book.
Before this sounds like a complete crying book, it’s not! I found the mystery very intriguing and frequently found myself trying to come up with reasons why reading was just as necessary as sleep. Reading probably won out a little more often than it should have . . . . Also, I could not have guessed the ending. So, there’s that. Have I left you properly intrigued?
Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, mysteries, and characters that settle right into your heart!
