Unfortunately, she’s also acquired an the enigmatic Lady Darling, whose spine-tingling plots appear to be pulled straight from Georgiana’s own manuscripts. What’s a stubborn, steely writer to do? Unmask her rival, of course.But unmasking doesn’t go according to plan—because Lady Darling is actually Cat Lacey, the butler’s daughter and object of Georgiana’s very secret, very embarrassing teenage infatuation.Cat Lacey has spent a decade clawing her family out of poverty. The last thing she needs is to be distracted by the stunning(ly pretentious) Lady Georgiana Cleeve. But Cat can’t seem to escape her infuriatingly beautiful rival—including at the eerie manor where they both plan to set their next books. The plot unexpectedly thickens, however, when the novelists find themselves trapped in the manor together. In between ghostly moans and spectral staff, Cat and Georgiana come face-to-face with real the scorching passion that’s been haunting their rivalry all along.

Five Stars! The premise of rival sapphic novelists falling in love drew me in, and the book delivered on the promise of the premise. This book was my favorite of the Belvoir’s Library trilogy — Vasti really blew me away with this one. Not only do we get to see a deeper, more emotional side to a character that has been on the sidelines in the previous two books, but we also get to experience such a sweet, satisfying love story. (With a gothic mansion, ghosts, a murder, bats, and the best dog ever) This story is really a story of love winning out over fear, and the happily ever after is so satisfying! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. My review is honest and left voluntarily
