London's best and most covert spy tries to escape the man who has always adored her.

New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger brings you a charming story of enduring love set in her popular Parasolverse.
/>
INTELLIGENCER

Agatha Woosmoss, the Wallflower, is the greatest intelligencer of her generation. And no one knows she exists. She has been invisible, capable, and cunning for well over four decades. Her greatest skill is in her ability to go forever unnoticed.

Except by one man.

VERSUS INTELLECTUAL

Pillover Plumleigh-Teignmott is a professor of ancient languages at Oxford University. He's tried to ignore his training as an Evil Genius and live a quiet life away from politics and intrigue.

When an assignment goes horribly wrong, Agatha must hide and heal. So she goes to ground with the only person who's always kept her safe, Pillover.

Can Pillover hold onto the deadly woman who specializes in getting away? Will Agatha realize that patience is indeed a virtue, and that perhaps it is good to be noticed by the one who waits?

"This intoxicatingly witty parody will appeal to a wide cross-section of romance, fantasy and steampunk fans." ~ Publishers Weekly, starred review (Soulless)

Spinning off from Miss Gail's Finishing School series, this story stands on its own and spans decades but was written after Defy or Defend. May contain vampires, old injuries, lost love, and the reappearance of many favorite characters. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Jodi Taylor, or Meljean Brook.

Delicate Sensibilities?

This tale concerns a considerable amount of pining and the repressed passion of two people who secretly adore each other and occasionally act on it. Agatha and Pillover are mature characters who act maturely, please be aware of this. If you like gruff but caring men with secret sorrows and the tough smart women they love, you'll also enjoy How to Marry a Werewolf.

This novella is Agatha’s story told in a series of flashbacks about her dealings with Pillover, Dimity’s younger brother. They have a secret relationship, but Agatha can’t make herself take the final step towards him. She has had a successful career as an intelligencer and he is an Oxford Don. With all the flashbacks this really needs to be read after all the books she has appeared in. The story does end on a happy note but there are some tears before you get to it. ( )

Ugh, ok, so, this is pretty slow paced. It's also not really very exciting. And it's totally brilliant -- because it perfectly matches the characters that it addresses. There are a lot of flashbacks and cameos by other characters -- these tease out the invisible romance that Pillover and Agatha have going on in their extremely subtle way in the background. In the end, I found it very sweet. ( )

I had to catch my breath with how achingly bittersweet individual lines and overall trajectories were in this book. I love Pillover and was so happy to have a book focused on him, including his sibling relationship with Dimity. ( )

My heart, Miss Gail. My heart. This was so beautiful. What a lovely thing to read, the story of a lifelong love. ( )

A spy must remain unseen. To be loved you must be seen. A wistful romance between a man who wants an ordinary peaceful life but has lost his hart to a woman with a need to wander devoted to a profession that allows her to do so. ( )

Pillover Plumleigh-Teignmott's biggest problem was that he met the love of his life when he was twelve years of age and then spent the rest of that life misplacing her.
