A Night Like This LP

Three years ago, Daniel Smythe-Smith shot a man in a duel and was forced to flee the country. He used to be a devil-may-care charmer, the kind of guy who always knew what to say. But after three years of being quite literally hunted, he is wary and on edge. Now he’s back in London and, on the night of his arrival, attends the annual Smythe-Smith musicale, where he notices that the young woman at the piano is definitely not his cousin.

Anne Shawcross made a terrible mistake at the age of sixteen. Ruined by the son of the most important family in the district, she changed her last name and left home, eventually becoming the governess to the Earl of Pleinsworth’s three daughters. When Sarah Pleinsworth takes ill the night of the musicale, Anne is asked to step in. However, in the weeks after, it soon becomes apparent that she may not only have saved the performance, but Daniel and his wounded heart as well.

A Night Like This LP by Julia Quinn weaves a tale of past mistakes and new beginnings, set against the backdrop of Regency London.
