About this book

When a second jilting at the altar has Gwen Maudsley done playing the role of London's nicest woman, she makes a deliciously scandalous decision: it's time to become thoroughly naughty, and who better to teach her than Alexander Ramsey, her brother's roguish best friend? But Alex has other ideas—he's far more interested in keeping Gwen exactly as she is, which only makes her more determined to prove that a little wickedness might be exactly what they both need. As their friendship ignites into something far more dangerous across the glittering backdrop of Paris and the Riviera, Gwen begins to realize that the real secrets worth uncovering aren't about becoming bad—they're about the man who's been guarding his heart all along. It's a lush, witty slow-burn that proves sometimes the most transformative thing we can do is let someone see us completely.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
yearningdefiantsmolderingelegantintoxicating

A Victorian romance where propriety unravels into smoldering tension. Blend orchestral chamber pop with sultry indie folk—think lush strings, whispered vocals, and restless energy. Moody, sensual, yet tinged with defiant joy. Artists like Florence + The Machine, Hozier, and Lorde capture this slow-burn awakening.
