A Regency retreat, with complications

Simon Courteney’s unexpected inheritance has left him a scholarly earl who values his annual gathering with two close friends. Those visits also bring him into contact with Diantha Brown, a lady’s companion whose settled life is threatened when an old enemy returns with blackmail and the prospect of a forced marriage. The setup links a friendship-centered country-house retreat with Diantha’s urgent attempt to protect herself and Lady Harcourt, bringing romantic comedy and Regency-era social pressures into the same story. The book’s ensemble premise also makes room for the friends’ wives and the developing connection between Simon and Diantha.

Book overview

Ted Lasso meets Bridgerton in USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday's laugh-out-loud bromantic comedy featuring three Regency-era Earls on their annual trip. These ride-or-die buddies offer one another unconditional support in everything from Lady problems to family woes, but this year, the country house retreat will be earls-plus-girls as our trio of heroes is joined by two beloved wives . . . and an exceedingly charming lady's companion.

Simon Courteney isn't like the other earls. He was never supposed to be the heir or the spare. Yet when his older brothers tragically died in an accident, he suddenly found himself a peer of the realm. Strait-laced and scholarly, Simon is resigned to a quiet life of work and service. The two bright spots in his calendar are the annual Earls Trip with his best friends, Effie and Archie, and his visits to Archie's mother--where he trades books with her beguiling lady's companion.

Miss Diantha Brown has long been settled into her role as Lady Harcourt's companion. On the shelf and alone in the world, it's a better life than Diantha ever imagined for herself. But her boring yet peaceful existence is upended when an old enemy returns, threatening blackmail and forced marriage.

Determined to escape her fate--and to protect Lady Harcourt--Diantha devises a shocking solution: her ruination. She needs just one thing: a kind, intelligent, brave man to help
her . . .
