Thrilling Regency romance, set against an Outlander-like background of passion and war, this will delight lovers of Poldark and Bridgerton.

1825 Cornwall and France

Clemency Arwenack never dreamed she would be appointed lady-in-waiting to the notorious, headstrong Princess Royal, heir apparent to the English throne. In fact it’s the last thing she wants. But Clemency dares not refuse, while her scheming godmother is threatening to expose her deepest secret.

Worse still, Clemency’s childhood friend, the Hon Lieutenant Colonel Kit Helford is now captain of the royal guard, charged with escorting the Princess Royal to France. If anyone can see through Clemency’s web of deceit, it’s Kit - just as wild and handsome as he’s always been. And just as much trouble.

The third novel in the Bridgerton-style Regency world of Katy Moran’s wild and dissolute Lamorna family. Welcome to Kit and Clemency’s story…

‘Passionate, smart and action-packed’ Sarah Hughes, Guardian

‘Lush, dark, utterly real and achingly romantic’ Ruth Ware

‘An absolute joy of a book. From the wild beauty of Cornwall to the breathless danger of a teetering peace treaty at Fontainebleau, Katy Moran whisks us on a desperately exhilarating dance through scandal, intrigue and treachery. Like all the best balls, I didn’t want it to end’ Holly Hepburn
