Description
An American heiress determined to enjoy London on her own terms, Emma Dunster arrives with plans that leave marriage firmly off the table—until a chance encounter forces her into disguise and entangles her with Alexander Ridgely, Duke of Ashbourne, a notorious rake with a reputation for resisting commitment. When Emma’s secret is misunderstood and then revealed, their carefully guarded worlds collide in a whirlwind of wit, mischief, and increasingly intimate second chances. Set against the glittering pressures of a Regency season, their story explores pride, performance, and the surprising ways attraction can upend even the most carefully laid plans. As Julia Quinn’s debut, this early Regency romp showcases the brisk charm and playful emotional momentum that would later make her a beloved name in historical romance.
