A society columnist with three names. A reform journalist with one dangerous question. A love affair built in ink, secrets, and the perilous art of telling the truth.
In Victorian London, Miss Genevieve Ashby is admired for her sharp society column, feared in whispers as the anonymous Lady Oracle, and trusted in secret as an agent of the Ashcombe Wire-a private network that can soften scandal, redirect gossip, and teach the public which truths are too delicate to ask about. Genevieve has always told herself the work is protection. Sometimes, it is.
Daniel Hartley, a principled investigative journalist, has spent months tracing a pattern of vanished stories, softened scandals, and anonymous influence shaping the press before facts can reach the public. He is careful, stubborn, and far too observant for Genevieve's peace of mind. When their paths cross in Mayfair drawing rooms, Fleet Street coffee houses, and letters too witty to be harmless, their arguments become courtship-and their secrets become impossible to keep apart.
But Daniel is hunting the very machinery Genevieve serves. When the Ashcombe Wire orders her to turn his own ethics against him, she must choose between the institution that once saved her family and the man who sees too much of her truth without knowing her name.
The Correspondent's Cover is a witty Victorian historical romance filled with hidden identity, enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn intimacy, a strong heroine, a reform journalist hero, sparkling banter, secret-society intrigue, emotional accountability, and a hard-won happily ever after.
