Publisher's Summary

Hear the most captivating historical debut of the year!

Kitty Talbot needs a fortune. Love is not required…

She’s got just twelve weeks to find a rich husband and save her sisters–and she must use every ounce of cunning and ingenuity she possesses to climb London society if she is to succeed.

The only person she can’t fool is Lord Radcliffe, who sees straight through her plans, and is determined to stop her at any cost.

There is not a day to lose and no one–not even a lord–will stand in her way…

Critic Reviews

"This book captivated me. What a sassy, witty, delicious tale. Kitty Talbot is a fabulous, fearless heroine." (Sophie Kinsella, The Party Crasher)

"A thoroughly modern heroine with wit, style and energy…a formidable Austentacious talent." (Janice Hallett, The Appeal)

"Plucky, witty and bright, with one dainty slipper poised in the present and another one firmly rooted in the past. Readers of Jane Austen and fans of Bridgeton will swoon." (Nita Prose, author of The Maid)

refreshly atypical and entertaining

It was so refreshing to read a book that had an unlikely heroine. The romance was believable in that it was naturally and gradually progressing. The story did not follow the predictable patterns of this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes a clean romance with more of an emotional pull.

This needs to be a movie / series

I devoured this book in a single day. I enjoy a good regency era romance and this book did not disappoint.
Kitty is fantastically manipulative, yet also frank and honest about her situation and intent.
The story is light, clean & engaging and the development of the connection between Kitty and Radcliffe felt natural. I loved the banter and repartee between the two.
Eleanor Tomlinson's narration was the reason I chose this book, but Sophie Irwin is an author I will be actively looking out for from now on.

A very enjoyable listen.

I enjoyed the honesty and tenacity of the main character, kitty, and the social cluelessness of her younger sister. I would love to listen to more by this author.
