THE ART OF DECEPTION

Fiona Clayburn is one lucky girl. Not only does she have a job she loves, working with fine art at Gallery Roche, but she’s also managed to catch the eye of one of the most desired bachelors around—Giles, son of the Earl of Bancroft—and they’re madly in love. Well, that’s what everyone thinks, anyway. Little do they know it’s all but a ruse to help the pair achieve their individual dreams and goals. After all, Fiona couldn’t have possibly melted the Icy Scion’s heart…right? But fake-love pacts aside, the two find themselves saddled with a case to crack when they pay a visit to Giles’s godmother, the Marchioness of Heyward, to appraise a painting—only to discover it hides a terrifying secret!
Kosuzu Kobato is a writer in Japan best known for light novels including The Apothecary Witch Turned Divorce Agent, I’d Rather Have a Cat than a Harem!, Making Jam in the Woods, and True Love Fades Away When the Contract Ends.
