About this ebook
"Pleasingly subversive."--New York Times Book Review
“A perfect mix of slow-burn romance, geopolitical maneuvering and sisterly antics.”—The Washington Post
One of Library Journal's Best Romances of 2023!
A BookList Editor's Pick of 2023!
A forbidden love between a Mexican heiress and a shrewd British politician makes for a tantalizing Victorian season.
Ana María Luna Valdés has strived to be the perfect daughter, the perfect niece, and the perfect representative of the powerful Luna family. So when Ana María is secretly sent to London with her sisters to seek refuge from the French occupation of Mexico, she experiences her first taste of freedom far from the judgmental eyes of her domineering father. If only she could ignore the piercing looks she receives across ballroom floors from the austere Mr. Fox.
Gideon Fox elevated himself from the London gutters by chasing his burning desire for more: more opportunities, more choices. For everyone. Now, as a member of Parliament, Gideon is on the cusp of securing the votes he needs to put forth a measure to abolish the Atlantic slave trade once and for all—a cause that is close to his heart as the grandson of a formerly enslaved woman. The charmingly vexing Ana María is a distraction he must ignore.
But when Ana María finds herself in the crosshairs of a nefarious nobleman with his own political agenda, Gideon knows he must offer his hand as protection . . . but will this Mexican heiress win his heart as well?

3.5 stars — I loved that this book opened me up to different parts of history that I totally forgot about (or was never taught). I ended up looking up all sorts of things because of this book. But I think in the end while I appreciated the novelty of who our characters were and where they were from, they themselves were just okay for me. Ana María had moments of fieriness, and I appreciated her intelligence and passion about the issues that were affecting her country and everyone she knew. D
