Publisher Description

Theodore Swann is a jobbing writer, proprietor of the Matrimonial Advertiser lonely hearts gazette, and all-round weasel. He’s the very last man that Martin St. Vincent would choose to rely on—and the only one who can help.

When she and her swain make a dash for Gretna Green, Martin drags Theo on a breakneck chase up the country to catch the runaway lovers before it’s too late.

Theo guards his secrets. Martin guards his heart. But as the two of them are thrown irresistibly together, entanglements, deceptions, and revelations come thick and fast...

“I felt a slump coming on so I decided to reread this novella that I remember enjoying back in like 2018. I really appreciate how this period drama doesn't fetishize the Black man, still portrays Britain's brutal history of slavery without sanitizing it and demonstrates racism without making it gratuitous or traumatising. The scandal that Martin is trying to circumvent is really well done. It felt like an episode out of Downton Abbey. Theo also demonstrates how privilege is a veneer and sometimes people should face the consequences of their stupidity, even at the hands of someone mildly villainous. This is a very heartfelt, enjoyable story and I would love a sequel to Martin and Theo "Dorothea Swann" seeing any future adventures they get involved in.”
