’One of my favorite authors. Her books are pure romantic delight’ Tessa Dare on My Fake Rake

Living their best life

Beatrice Sloane, the Countess of Farris, is a free-spirited widow. After a stultifying marriage, she is now wealthy and independent and determined to stay so. Wherever she goes, a good time is sure to follow!

Captain Duncan McCameron struggles to find a purpose for himself now that the war is over. Discovering his sweetheart had married another whilst he was at war means he’s kept himself closed off from love.

Entrusted to escort Lady Farris to her friend’s estate, these two opposites start on a journey that ultimately involves carriage crashes, secret barn dances, robbers, and an inn with only one bed! But as tensions dissolve into passion, can there be a future for an adventure-loving lady and a duty-bound soldier, or will their differences tear them apart?

3.5 stars - here for the forced-proximity, “oh no! There’s only 1 bed and 2 of us!” tropes and the heroine who is sweet and funny and badass (hello!? the book begins with her planning a trek to a week-long orgy lol) . . . But I’m still figuring out if I enjoy historical romance as a genre if it isn’t fantasy. Anyway, for folks that enjoy the genre, you won’t want to miss this book!
