byGeorgette Heyer, Natalie Simpson (Read by)

Gossip, scandal and an unforgettable Regency romance

Abigail Wendover has no time for love.


She is far too busy protecting her niece, who has fallen madly in love with a suspected fortune-hunter.

But her efforts become vastly more complicated with the arrival of Miles Calverleigh, the black sheep of his family – a reckless bachelor with a scandalous past.

Abby soon discovers that, despite successfully managing her niece’s love life, she has far less control over her own unruly heart.
