FAKING FOR A FORTNIGHT is a contemporary romcom about a woman's undercover audition for a job at a Regency-themed resort. When faking a pretend courtship with a brooding Irish actor stirs up tantalizing real feelings, scandalous boundaries start to blur. What's real? What's part of the show?

It's a unique challenge to create a cover for a contemporary romcom set at a Regency resort. Given that this book has no time travel, showing off both time periods was tricky. My amazing team did a great job balancing the time periods. I love all the little details (including the lipstick stain 👀).

Revealing the cover to my debut novel: FAKING FOR A FORTNIGHT! Out May 4, 2027

A graphic with a blue background and watercolor flowers featuring the colorful cover of Margot Moore’s FAKING FOR A FORTNIGHT. Above the cover is the text: “COVER REVEAL” and below is the phrase: “Making her debut May 4”

A graphic with blue background and watercolor flowers featuring a book description that reads:

A stay at a Regency-themed resort goes from romp to romance when faking a pretend courtship stirs up real forbidden feelings.

When offered the chance to work as a history consultant at The Ton, Annie Bryce jumps at the opportunity—and the extension on her visa in the United Kingdom. But there’s a catch. The CEO wants her to go undercover as a guest of the Regency-themed immersive resort to gauge staff performance. To be a spy.

Ben—ahem, Lord Benedict Venable—needs to keep this job. The brooding Irish actor is already on thin ice with management, and his acting career hasn’t exactly taken off the way he hoped. When a chance encounter reveals his new “love interest” is no ordinary attendee, Ben makes the only move he has left and offers her a deal….

Ben won’t expose Annie’s secret to the other actors as long as Annie helps Ben keep his job by faking a pretend courtship for the duration of her stay. But as the resort’s Regency plotlines and pre-written romance make way for tantalizing real feelings, scandalous boundaries start to blur. What’s real? What’s part of the show?

She’s not really on here, so I’m gonna shout about this news for her… @margotmoore.bsky.social was scooped up by Berkley! And goodness do I love this book.

A book deal listing that says Margot Moore's FOR A FORTNIGHT, a contemporary romance pitched as Jen DeLuca's Well Met meets Bridgerton, in which a woman's undercover audition for a job at a Regency-themed resort takes a trope-filled turn when her pretend courtship with the park's brooding nobleman turns into real forbidden feelings, to Sarah Blumenstock at Berkley, in a pre-empt, in a two-book deal, for publication in spring 2027, by Eric Smith at Neighborhood Literary (world).

Since I'm planning for paternity leave at the end of the summer, and not doing any events for a long time after, I put a virtual workshop together. So! If you or someone you know needs a hand polishing up their query + opening pages, this might be for you. www.ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2025/4/...

Well, summer is here. And I really wanted to host one more webinar or workshop before I logged off for paternity leave this August (surprise!), and found myself not doing any conferences for a while. ...

I thought I was going to finish my first draft this weekend after a very intense week of work, but am instead flying to my grandad’s funeral. Am taking comfort that I’ll be able to spend time with family but also I would very much like to sleep for approximately 4 years if at all possible

Grief has a tendency to come out of nowhere. Recently set my IG to private and was going through the process of removing followers I didn’t know. Scrolled all the way to the bottom to see who my first follower was: a friend from college who passed away in 2023. Talk about a gut punch
