Summary
'A gorgeous, captivating Regency romance' SOPHIE IRWIN
'A smart story, compelling writing and a big smile on any reader's face when they finish' JODI ELLEN MALPAS
A mistress cannot marry for love...
As one of the famous Preece sisters, Kitty is the most sought-after courtesan in London. But with the vicious Duke of Gillingham scaring away any man who looks her way, securing a new arrangement with a wealthy gentleman will be no easy feat. Kitty's only hope to find someone suitable is through her loyal and cherished friend, the Reverend Sidney Wakefield.
Sidney has devoted his life to the church, but it was never by choice. He is a writer and Kitty his muse. As he is roped into Kitty's plotting, he begins to realise that protecting her from the malevolent Duke comes at a price - and it might mean losing Kitty to someone else entirely.
As Kitty and Sidney try to find a way out, it becomes clear that years of friendship have developed into something deeper. Except that they are from different worlds and Kitty's heart has never been hers to give away...

An enthralling combination of romantic escapism and historical reality!
I really enjoyed following the story of Kitty and Sidney, two tender-hearted, good-natured romantic characters. Their romantic narrative certainly kept me guessing as external obstacles (not least their own family members) threatened to take eternal happiness from their possession.
The sweetness of the romantic hero and heroine, and their determination to live quietly and happily together, was engagingly contrasted against moments revealing the dark underbelly of Regency reality.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about all the historical research that went into this novel and it is evident in the nuanced narrative. It simultaneously leans into the escapism of regency fantasy that is so popular with fans of this period while presenting uncomfortable truths and sobering realities of the experiences of people who really lived in that era.
A great read!
