By day they follow all the rules of propriety, but nobody said anything about the night.
Elizabeth Baker’s greatest ambitions in life are to be a writer and governess. But when her best friend invites her to London for the season, she finds herself swept away in the strict Regency Era society, where one false move can lead to ruin.
Her only hope is her gracious host, Joseph Harrington, the handsome Earl of Ashford. Hiding behind a dark past, the Earl is unable to commit to anyone and shields himself from a lifetime of happiness. But he cannot hide from Elizabeth. Surprised to encounter each other roaming his townhome in the night, they embark on a friendship that straddles the borders of propriety and leaves them aching for more.
Unable to enjoy their familiarity in the light of day, Elizabeth soon finds she is attracting other suitors. Men who are of a mind to marry. But can these men offer her the same passion as Lord Ashford? Are they even to be trusted? Will she ever convince the Earl to follow his heart? Or is she doomed to keep her true love just another secret of the season?

There were SO MANY moments I squealed, laughed, and swatted my boyfriend when reading this book! There’s a Bridgerton vibe with some more modern themes or ideologies.

I just finished it and LOVED it! There’s a true love/forbidden love story between a vicar’s daughter and a Lord with many obstacles. The end was super suspenseful and exhilarating.
