From Goodreads:
She is the most powerful woman in Britain,
A queen of the London Underworld ...

He is the only man smart enough to uncover the truth,
Putting all she has at risk . . .
Including her heart.

Bio:
Sarah MacLean is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of YA and adult romance.
She grew up in Rhode Island, where she spent much of her free time bemoaning the fact that she was more than a century too late for own Season. Her unabashed addiction to historical fiction helped to earn her a degree in European History from Smith College before she moved to New York City to pursue a career in publishing. After receiving a Masters in Education from Harvard University, Sarah returned to New York, where she lives with her husband, their dog, and a ridiculously large collection of romance novels.
Behind the Scenes Quotes:
“I’ve always loved cross-dressing heroines – the trope is probably my most favorite of all the romance tropes, so when I wrote Chase, I wanted to play with the cross-dressing heroine idea. She doesn’t just dress in trousers – she’s also built a persona to match. She's a pre-Victorian Wizard of Oz, so to speak, thought to be a man, but one who has never been seen in public, and about whom very few people know the truth…namely, that he’s a she.” --Sarah MacLean
“Seeing a woman in pants has not been shocking for about a century.
But when one remembers the historical context of Regency England it is extraordinary. I hope this cover attracts readers who are looking for something different, because Sarah is blazing her own path in historical romance." --Carrie Feron, Executive Editor
"It was a fabulous challenge." --Tom Egner, Avon Art Director
What an awesome cover! Love that she's holding a gown but dressed, in what the times would be men's clothing! Awesome, love it!! Though I haven't read the series, this has been the deciding factor that I will!! What about you guys? Happy reading!
