Recently widowed from her marriage of convenience, Eliza, now Dowager Countess of Somerset, is bequeathed a fortune, hers to keep as long as she can steer clear of scandal.

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
