Description
‘Sophie Irwin is an exciting and original voice. She's a must-buy author for me.’ Taylor Jenkins Reid
‘A delicious Regency romp for fans of Bridgerton.’ Red
‘Scandal, art and romance – this is the best Regency romp set in Bath since Persuasion!’ Good Housekeeping
A lifetime of duty
Widowed at just seven-and-twenty from her marriage of convenience, Eliza, now Countess of Somerset, is bequeathed a fortune, hers to keep – provided she can steer clear of scandal.
The promise of love
The last thing she expects is to be torn between two very different men – a face from the past, whose loss she’s always mourned, and a roguish poet, who scorns convention.
A taste of freedom
But a lady’s reputation is fragile, and with jealous eyes on Eliza’s fortune, it will only take one whisper of gossip for her to lose it all...
Escape with the most delightful, historical romance of the year from the Sunday Times bestselling author Sophie Irwin!
‘A very modern sensibility, witty and fun’ Adele Parks
‘Fans of Bridgerton will enjoy this well-observed Regency story with a plucky protagonist.’ Candis
‘A delicious Regency romp for fans of Bridgerton.’ Red
