Publisher Description

"A champagne fizz of a romance." --New York Times

Indiana Jones meets Bridgerton in this delightful Regency romance romp. 

Bold, curvy Elizabeth Wynchester loves cuddling hedgehogs almost as much as she adores vanquishing villains with the sharp blade concealed inside her cane. Despite others’ opinions about her body and gender, nothing will stop her from seeing justice done. When her next mission drops her at the dastardly Earl of Densmore’s castle, she’s prepared to duel like gentlemen—only to be locked inside! Her trusty sword cannot defeat the castle’s hidden traps… or protect her heart from the devilishly handsome rogue guarding the keep.

When reclusive inventor Stephen Lenox agreed to impersonate his cousin for a few days, he didn’t expect the earl to vanish altogether. Nor could Stephen predict mounting death threats… or the arrival of a beguiling, blade-wielding spinster who declares herself his new bodyguard. As the earl’s enemies lay siege to the castle, Stephen fights his way past Elizabeth’s defenses. She’ll share his bed, but when the adventure concludes, she vows to sever their affair. Unless he can somehow convince a swashbuckling siren to surrender her heart…

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“Erica Ridley is a genius. This entire series is gold, I wouldn't rate any of the wild Wynchester books below a 4.5. This book was obviously written with love and care; they author's passion shines through in every book in this series. The romances are original, there are such moments of hilarity that I laugh out loud, the representation is so diverse and wonderful, and Ridley covers a wide variety of issues in her books from racism to sexism to ableism in a way that doesn't feel heavy. These books are romances at their core, and some of the best romances I've read in recent years. The closest comparison I could make would be Bridgerton, in the aspect that it takes place during an alternate regency England, and each book covers the romance of one of the Wynchester siblings. But that is where the comparison stops, and these books far surpass Bridgerton in quality. With romance feeling very cookie cutter, copy paste, as a genre to me lately, these books are so refreshing. The romances feel very real, the characters positively shine with life. I would recommend these books to any and everyone. This one in particular? Absolute chef's kiss. I've been waiting for Elizabeth's story from the beginning, so this was long awaited, and it exceeded expectations.”
