All's Fair in Love and Treachery

“Although its haute ton setting nods at Bridgerton, Lady Petra’s story owes more to Sex and the City… A light and lively romp.” –Kirkus Reviews

“An excellent addition to the world of Regency mysteries. Petra is an exceptionally strong heroine, who refuses to play by the rules of a society that does not give women the same rights as men… Highly recommend.” –Historical Novel Society
