Fast-paced and feisty Regency fiction with a dazzlingly daring heroine who breaks the mould.
Sizzling romance with a splash of intrigue Julia Quinn author of Bridgerton
Lila Marleigh is the talk of Regency London. As a society hostess, she treads a fine line between celebrity and notoriety, and rather than serving cups of newly-fashionable tea to Regency ladies, her soirees are awash with Champagne punch and fashionable people from the ton.
As the daughter of an English earl and his Indian mistress in India, Lila has made a virtue of breaking the mould. Now, weary of success, she gets a shock when a face from the past appears at her doorstep begging for help.
Drawn into the underbelly of Regency London, and pitted against none other than her nemesis, the devilishly handsome nobleman, Ivor Tristram, Lila must navigate a treacherous path. Yet the biggest threat lies not in the pleasure gardens and the gambling dens, but in opening her heart to the one person who can break it
