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
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!

Reviews / Votes
'Witty, enrapturing and deliciously improper - I was entirely seduced.' Beth Morrey 'A perfectly pitched blend of collar-tightening tension, hilarious societal rules and a will-they-won't-they that echoes the golden age of the romcom. Sophie Irwin is a genius' Ore Agbaje-Williams 'It is just joyous. I feel bereft to have closed the pages and realise the characters are not real. Wonderful, warm, funny and joyful.' Cesca Major 'What a complete joy this was to read! Everything you could want in a regency romcom, written with real affection for the genre, intelligence, and style.' Niamh Hargan 'An absolute delight from beginning to end, immersing readers in a masterfully crafted Regency world brimming with loveable characters and laugh-out-loud wit!' Felicity George 'I absolutely loved this book. It gave me all the delicious feelings I want from a Regency romance, and more! I simply could not put it down till I was finished.' Emma Orchard 'Sophie Irwin continues to lead the charge for Regency revival with this fabulously witty, unputdownable and oh-so-swoonworthy follow-up to her debut. I adored Eliza's story.' Jessica Bull 'This sparkling novel has all the elegance and charm you could hope for in a 19th-century romance - but also a very modern sensibility, it's witty and fun, which makes it relatable.'
