New York Times bestselling author, Eloisa James returns with the first novel in a brand-new series featuring a brilliant romance between a British heiress and an American businessman vying for the same costume emporium. Miss Cleopatra Lewis may be the granddaughter of a viscount, but she has spent the last few years tending the enormous fortune her father left her, which stems from the sale of toilets. Her mother's last wish is that she meet her grandfather, who immediately announces that he will introduce her to society. She will need an entirely new wardrobe, so she makes her way to a costume emporium-and ends up buying the establishment. Jake Astor Addison is an American financier in London to buy the Emporium, with a ring snug in his pocket ready to offer to the lady of his choice back in America. But when, he walks into the business that he intends to transfer to New York, he discovers that a British lady has bought it out from under his nose. Cleo and Jake cross swords: he wants the Emporium, and she will never give it up to such a vexing man. Jake is equally convinced that no one in polite society will order clothing from Cleo's new business. They strike a deal: Cleo will order a flamboyant wardrobe for Jake-who only wears black, and Jake will order Cleo's half-mourning wardrobe. London society will judge who should own the Emporium.
