Perfect reading for all lovers of Bridgerton, the giddily irresistible sequel to the Regency smash A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting finds the formerly level-headed Eliza drawn to a spot of misbehaviour despite the promise of a fortune.
The captivating new historical novel from the author of the Sunday Times bestseller A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting.
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.
It should be simple - Eliza has spent a lifetime following the rules - but now that she is rich, titled and independent, misbehaviour is much more tempting...
