The Duke’s Writer by Fanny Finch

She tried to gain her own voice, signing with a man’s name.

Maeve Felton, daughter of the Earl of Nightburn is moving to London, to live with her older brother, Leo, who is a lawyer, as her family suffers a financial crisis and hopes that Maeve will find her suitor there. Her passion is writing and her secret goal is to find a way to publish her work. When she finds out that there is a writer’s community, that accepts only men in its circles, Maeve won’t hesitate to dress like a man and attend those gatherings in secret.
Benjamin Strikley, Duke of Lestenmeer, is attending too. He is a book lover and when he hears the heroine -dressed as a man- reading a story she wrote, he wants to meet the new young writer. And he does, although he doesn’t suspect that behind this young talented man is his lawyer’s sister, the most charming lady he has ever met.
Maeve has to hide her true identity to fulfill her goal. But she also has to hide her secret to be courted by the handsome duke. Her brother wouldn’t approve, while her best friend, Chloe, is the most valuable ally. One lie leads to another until love gives the answers to all of her problems.
