‘Sophie Irwin is an exciting and original voice. She's a must-buy author for me’ Taylor Jenkins Reid

'I simply couldn't put this book down. Joyous, hilarious and full of sparkling enemies-to-lovers tension, it has everything you could want in a regency romcom’ – Beth O’Leary, The Flat Share

From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a delicious new romance…

He wants a wife. She wants to be jilted. This. Is. War.

Rich, handsome and titled Lord Ashford has every lady in England longing for his hand in marriage.

Everyone, that is, except Miss Lydia Hanworth – the only young woman Ashford wishes to marry.

Pressured into accepting Ashford’s proposal, the announcement must be kept secret for ten days. Can Lydia free herself from her obligations before the engagement is publicly announced, without ruining her reputation? You can achieve an awful lot in ten days, after all…
