What to expect

Calling all Bridgerton and Jane Austen fans! You are cordially invited to fall in love with your favourite new Regency romance novel…

‘Worthy of Georgette Heyer…the most wonderfully satisfying five star Regency Romp’ Julie Caplin

‘I don’t pretend to know the details of your private life, Miss Fairfax, but you might do better to embrace the fortunate position into which you were born, rather than regret the one that only exists between the covers of a novel’

Miss Phoebe Fairfax dreams of being as free as her four brothers. When she discovers she is to be wed to a repugnant earl who is old enough to be her grandfather, she decides to embark on a real adventure…

Enter the insufferable – and insufferably gorgeous – Viscount Damerel.

A must-read for fans of Evie Dunmore, Martha Waters and Virginia Heath
