From the internationally bestselling author of A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting, another fresh, witty take on a romantic escape led by a deeply lovable heroine determined to start living on her own terms 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 would have chosen. But ten years later, Eliza is widowed. And at eight and twenty years, she is suddenly left titled, rich, and, for the first time in her life, utterly in control of her own future. Instead of living out her mourning quietly, Eliza heads to Bath with her cousin Margaret. After years of behaving according to everyone else's rules, Eliza has resolved, at last, to do as she wants. But when word of the Dowager Lady Somerset's behaviour reach the new Lord Somerset--whom Eliza knew, once, as a younger woman--Eliza is forced to confront the fact that freedom comes with consequences. But it also brings unexpected opportunities . . .

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
