Wonderful novel! Vividly drawn characters, an intriguing mystery, and humorous and sparkling dialogue reminiscent of Heyer, as if the author was laughing as she wrote it. Fans of traditional Regency romance will love this book!
Camille Elliot, Author, Prelude for a Lord
One young woman seeking her father and fortune...
One proper gentleman wishing to avoid scandal and bother...
One determined matron trying to keep both from the truth:
Can Miss Fanshawe's fortune ever be secured? And how can she ever hope to win his love?
Miss Frances Fanshawe's past is shrouded in mystery. Raised genteelly as an heiress to a fortune, she is forced to question everything after her mother dies and leaves only a single clue to the money. Unless she can locate her father or otherwise prove her heritage, not only the fortune but her very respectability is at stake.
In line for a baronetcy, Sebastian Arundell has no time for sorting out questionable tangles for young women with dubious histories. No matter if they are young, appealing, and have ridiculously large eyes to melt a man's heart. But when it becomes apparent that other people are after Frannie's supposed fortune, he is drawn to investigate. As the search deepens, Frannie falls in love with handsome, proper Sebastian. But if it only proves what he suspects-that she's an illegitimate pauper-will all hope to win his heart be lost?

- Timeline
- Mayfair Map (the Arundells' Home)
- Bonus Preview, Before the Season Ends

Kathleen Rouser, Author, Rumors and Promises
A delightul read! And the sweet romance! Call it exquisite torture...*sigh* ...you'll just have to read it for yourself.
Nicole Sager, Author, The Heart of Arcrea
Well done-a cracking read! Was great for lockdown too.
Charlotte H., UK Reader
Whoa. This is a Dickensian Regency that will have you learning as you laugh, wonder, and swoon with the story.
Becky Lewis, VINE VOICE
Burkard's tale is off and running with Frannie's future hanging in the balance. Readers of Burkard know she immerses you in the Regency. She writes with relaxed panache, and the comic moments, of which there are plenty, will make you laugh out loud.
L.K. Simonds, Author, All In
Reminded me very much of a Georgette Heyer novel, and I couldn't put it down until the conflict was resolved....Words fail me as to how much I loved Sebastian's character. If only he was real...!
Brittany A. Searfoss, Reviewer
A refreshingly clean Regency romance, complete with an antagonist you LOVE to hate. A delight from beginning to end. The only drawback was that in ended too soon!
