When a shiny idol is a sad mess in real life, can his number one fan help him stay upbeat? High schooler Utage Kinoshita works part-time as a housekeeper so she can afford her fangirl obsession with Tamon Fukuhara, her favorite member of boy band F/ACE. When work serendipitously sends her to the home of her idol, she discovers that the real Tamon couldn’t be more different from his wild and sexy onstage persona! When the F/ACE members compete against each other to determine the new face of the band, Utage helps self-doubting Tamon defend his position. Unfortunately, one of Tamon’s bandmates makes an absurd demand—if he wins the contest, Utage will quit being Tamon’s housekeeper and support him instead!

Utage ne peut plus se voiler la face : en plus de son adoration pour Tamon, l’idol, elle éprouve des sentiments pour M. Fukucafard. Jugeant qu’il serait dangereux de rester à ses côtés plus longtemps, elle décide de démissionner de son emploi de femme de ménage. Lorsqu’il l’apprend, Ôri s’empresse de passer à l’action : rien de mieux qu’une sortie en tête à tête pour prouver à la jolie fan qu’il est le chouchou de ses rêves ! Mais Tamon n’a pas dit son dernier mot… De son côté, Rintarô Kai, le quota musclé du groupe, révèle enfin sa face cachée !

A desperate debutante meets a ragtag smuggler in this sexy Regency romp by USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Vasti. Eccentric heiress Lady Ruby Ballimore has had enough of the Marriage Mart. After offending yet another Very Important Marquess―and imperiling her father’s diplomatic career―Ruby flees London for the holiday house of a glamorous (and better yet, absent) princess. Armed with a forged invitation and accompanied by her like-minded friends, Ruby arrives at the Cornwall estate expecting a summer of blissful freedom. Instead, she discovers a derelict mansion and the most suspiciously charming man she’s ever met. Former privateer and current con artist Captain Malcolm Archer has dragged his ramshackle crew into a new life. Posing as staff at a princess’s abandoned estate provides the perfect cover for Archer’s smuggling scheme (not to mention free rent). Everything’s going according to plan―until an unorthodox London heiress crashes the party. But when Archer and his crew attempt to frighten off their uninvited guests, Ruby’s unfazed by insect invasions and sham sea monsters. Harder to ignore? The scorching heat between the rakish pirate and the debutante who can see right through him. As sparks fly, deceptions run wild―because in this Great Cornish Fake Off, the only thing riskier than telling the truth is falling in love.
