"When shy Miss Eliza Balfour married the austere Earl of Somerset, twenty years her senior, it was the match of the season--no matter that he was not the husband Eliza wanted. Now, ten years later, Eliza is widowed. Suddenly, she is left titled, rich, and, for the first time in her life, utterly in control of her own future. She's always lived by society's conventions, but now, Eliza has resolved to do as she wants. And what she wants is to head to Bath with her cousin Margaret, pursue painting, learn to drive, and flirt with Bath's most alluring new resident, the infamous Lord Melville. But when the ripples of Eliza's behavior reach her late husband's nephew--who broke Eliza's heart, years ago--Eliza will learn that freedom does not come without consequences. The only way to ensure she can keep her fortune is to avoid all scandal--but where's the fun in that?"--

Rezensionen
'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.' Adele Parks
