About This Book
Lady Charlotte Hastings has spent years collecting scandals the way other debutantes collect dance partners, but the mess she's landed in now threatens to unravel everything. When the one man she's loved from a careful distance—rakish, impossibly handsome, and entirely off-limits—steps in to rescue her, the situation becomes infinitely more complicated than any polite London drawing room could contain. This is a story about two people who have every reason to keep their distance and absolutely no willpower to do so, with stakes that feel genuinely personal rather than merely plot-driven.
Bennett writes Regency romance with a sharp wit and a talent for romantic tension that builds through loaded glances and sparring dialogue rather than grand declarations. The fourth book in the Disreputable Debutantes series works beautifully as a standalone while rewarding readers who have followed the characters from the beginning. Charlotte in particular is the kind of heroine who refuses to be tidied up into something more convenient, and the prose lets her remain delightfully, stubbornly herself from first page to last.
