Sophie Irwin

A family in crisis, a fortune at stake, will she risk it all for love? 
 
The first - and only - authorised Georgette Heyer continuation novel, written by internationally bestselling author Sophie Irwin. 
 
Henrietta has secretly loved her best friend Arthur, Lord Allerton, since childhood. He’s the only man who’s interested in her, rather than just her fortune. Just not in the way she wants. 
 
After three years away at war, Arthur has returned to London to find everything changed. His finances are ruined, his family in chaos. And sweet, shy Hetty is… different. 
 
Because Hetty’s set herself a challenge: she has one year to become the charming, outgoing Diamond she’s always wished to be. And either Arthur will notice her, or she’ll give up her dreams entirely. 
 
But in a Season when his family is plagued by scandal and hers by intrigue, will either of them find time to give true love a chance…?

Margot Wayward is in manically gleeful self-destruct mode. Following the implosion of a ten-year relationship, she’s wilfully derailing her successful career, joyfully taking down men on dating apps, and living in total chaos. 
 
Until one day, when Margot has a vision of herself with a man she’s never met before. She doesn’t believe in fate. But when Margot meets single-dad Henry, the vision comes true: exactly as she’d foreseen it. 
 
As her future continues to reveal itself, a glimpse at a time, Margot realises she knows exactly what’s going to happen, and when. And there’s nothing she can do to change any of it. 
 
So Margot has to decide how to live, how to love again, and how to be herself… Because if you can’t change your destiny, how on earth do you live your present?

When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey, it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and, ultimately, repelled by Christian's singular erotic tastes, Ana demands a deeper commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agrees. 
 
Now, Ana and Christian have it all - love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian's opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past. 
 
Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana's deepest fears turn to reality.
