What it feels like
Reading this collaborative romance feels like stepping into a sunlit drawing room filled with the ton's most entertaining gossips. The pace is wonderfully brisk, propelled by the tangled romantic webs and sharp, overlapping banter of an ensemble cast trapped together at a country estate. It is a delightfully low-angst experience, trading heavy melodrama for sparkling wit, stolen kisses in the stables, and the comedic chaos of matchmaking gone awry. The prose is effervescent, seamlessly blending the distinct comedic strengths of its three authors into a cohesive, joyful narrative. It is the perfect escape for readers who adore Regency romances focused on friendship, rivalry, and the delightful unpredictability of falling in love when you least expect it.

About the book
A Novel in Three Parts
Hugh Dunne, the Earl of Briarly, needs a wife—so his sister hands him a list of the very best young ladies on the market. And then, because he refuses to tear himself away from the stables where he trains Arabian racehorses, she invites all those ladies to a house party, along with some other bachelors, of course. So who will Hugh choose? The Botticelli-esque, enchanting Gwendolyn? The outspoken, delightful Katherine? If he doesn't work fast, he'll lose those ladies to his closest friends, and then where will he look for a wife? Perhaps, just perhaps, toward a lady who's not on a market at all, and would require a great deal of persuading...
