“With her usual
witty writing and exquisite flair for characterization, Noble offers readers
the second, splendid book in her Winner Takes All series. The effortless manner
in which she wrote The Lie and
the Lady as a separate love
story while at the same time gracefully connecting it to The Game and the Governess (2014) and cleverly hinting at
what is to come in the series is nothing less than brilliant.”
—Booklist Starred Review
John Turner thought
only of winning a bet when he swapped identities with his friend the Earl of
Ashby. He didn’t wager on winning the fiery Countess of Churzy’s heart with his
lies, or on falling for her in return. Publicly humiliated when she learned of
the betrayal, the impoverished countess fled, and John thought Leticia was lost
to him forever…until fate brings her practically to his doorstep. Can he regain
her trust—and her heart—this time as himself?
Determined to make a
new life for herself, Letty knows she must avoid Turner—and his maddening
kisses—in order to survive. But some things are too intoxicating to be denied.
If she turns her back on her dashing rogue—again—will she lose her chance at
love forever?
The Game and the
Governess was dubbed a
“winning novel, complete with rich characters and a multi-dimensional plotline”
by Publishers Weekly (starred review), a “delicious treat”
by Bookpage, “Immensely entertaining and
eminently satisfying” by Booklist (starred review), and RT Reviews (four
star HOT) promised “charming characters will sweep readers away into the story”. Second in the captivating
Winner Takes All series, THE LIE AND THE LADY is “nothing less than brilliant” (Booklist starred review) and will reward
readers as the perfect literary escape.
Kate Noble is the
national bestselling author of The
Game and the Governess and

name Kate Rorick, she writes for television, as well as novels based on the

Lizzie Bennet Diaries, for which she is also a writer and producer. She

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
