Description
A trailblazing historical romance that brings pride – without prejudice – to a reimagined, more inclusive Regency London. A place where segregation, bigotry, persecution and exclusion do not exist.
Strikingly beautiful, ferociously strongminded and famously rakish, London socialite Miss Georgina 'George' Pace has seduced many beautiful women in her time. Her days are not quiet: when she isn't running half-naked through the streets of London, she's attending masques and balls, or seeking pleasure – and occasionally oblivion – in decadent dens of iniquity.
But while she is cavalier in her attitude to romance, Georgina is deeply protective of her friends and family. When she learns that her dear acquaintance, the innocent and vulnerable Mr Arthur Coombes, has been swindled by a corrupt gaming house, she will stop at nothing to restore his fortune and bring his tormentors to account. Georgina's quest for justice forces her to navigate a complex world of villains and secrets, and confront long-suppressed memories of a family tragedy. It also leads her to the enigmatic, intriguing and potentially dangerous Lady Elizabeth Mortimer, who offers assistance while keeping her cards close to her chest and remaining impervious to Georgina's charms.
In attempting to save Mr Coombes, Georgina not only puts herself and those she loves in the path of danger, she also risks losing her heart. Will she keep herself safe – or surrender to her feelings?
This wickedly witty sapphic romp, filled with passion, intrigue and a fascinating cast of diverse characters, is sure to delight readers who enjoyed Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series, Alexis Hall's A Lady for a Duke, and the glamorous, bisexual energy of Taylor Jenkins Reid's The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
