If you love Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, you won't want to miss Martha Waters' ingenious, laugh-out-loud and sweepingly romantic historical rom-com, To Have and to Hoax! 'Delights with hilarious, high-concept romantic schemes... this joyful, elegant romp is sure to enchant' Publishers Weekly, starred review 'A Regency author to watch. The sexual tension in this delightful debut was off-the-charts!' Lauren Layne The course of true loveβ€”or irritationβ€”never did run smooth. Five years ago, Lady Violet Grey and Lord James Audley met, fell in love, and married. Four years ago, they had a fight to end all fights, and have barely spoken since. Their once-passionate love may have dissolved into cold, detached politeness, but when Violet receives a letter that James has been thrown from his horse, she races to be by his sideβ€”only to discover him alive, well, and baffled by her concern. Outraged, Violet decides to feign an illness of her own to teach her estranged husband a lesson. And so begins an ever-escalating game of manipulationβ€”and a great deal of flirtation between a husband and wife who might not hate each other as much as they thought. In this warring marriage, which spouse will be the victor? And will the real prize be winning back the love they each thought they'd lost? 'A laugh-out-loud Regency romp - if you loved the Bridgertons, you'll adore To Have and to Hoax!' Lauren Willig To Have and to Hoax is an authentic romantic comedy... This fun and fresh historical debut will delight readers with humour and romance as a young couple battles to win back each other's affection' Shelf Awareness 'Cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed debut is served up with an abundance of cheeky charm and wonderfully wry wit' Booklist, starred review 'Endlessly charming... absorbing and clever and at times laugh-out-loud funny' Kate Clayborn 'To Have and to Hoax is a delightful battle of wits that's funny and touching all at once. James and Violet are perfectly matched, and you'll love watching the sparks fly as they both infuriate each other and fall in love all over again' Jen DeLuca The Regency Vows series continues! To Love and to Loathe To Marry and to Meddle
