title: The Infamous Heir (Spare Heirs)
author:  Elizabeth Michels 
description: "Historical romance devotees will enjoy Michels's adoring use of some of the classic tropes of the genre - the spare heir, the wrong brother as hero, the heroine in men's clothing - but what makes the book so enjoyable is the way Michels makes the familiar fresh. The book is at once a well-crafted mystery and a simmering romance." - <strong><em> Sarah MacLean, The Washington Post</em></strong><br /><br />"Michels's latest is the complete package: a captivating romance with gripping suspense wrapped up in a novel to be savored." - <strong><em> Publishers Weekly</em></strong><br /><br />"Readers are treated to Michels' strongest story yet. The engaging characters, intricate plotline and powerful love story hold readers from beginning to end as they watch the changing relationship between headstrong lovers as they unravel a mystery. Savor this tale." - <strong><em> RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars, TOP PICK!</em></strong>

  All the characters and scenes in this book are a work of fiction, which
  continues to depress me as they are all really good conversationalists who
  find me a witty and talented friend. Pity it’s all in my head. Any
  similarities to real people, either living or dead, is purely coincidental.
