About this ebook

From the height of the Season in London and Bath, to the quiet of the English countryside, each Sophia Holloway novel brings to life a rich world of characters, gentle humour and romantic drama. Each book can be read separately and in any order

The page-turning Regency romance from the author of Kingscastle and The Season...

After her heartbreaking first Season, Elizabeth Ashling resolved to avoid London Society - and matrimony - completely. However, family obligations mean that Elizabeth is thrust back into society where she faces an overzealous poet, a bitter rival and, most awkwardly, the man who jilted her three years before.

Sir Lucius Radstock, dry, dashing and as devoted to horses as Elizabeth herself, is a welcome diversion. But as their acquaintance deepens, Elizabeth begins to suspect she may have judged too hastily. Although surely her second Season cannot rival the misfortunes of the first .

Perfect for fans of classic, slow -burn Regency romance authors like Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen

This is one of the first times I didn't want to finish the book. I just didn't like the protagonist.
