A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting
Sophie Irwin
£8.99
Mr B's review
A regency romp perfect for brightening up a long winter evening. Kitty’s parents have died, leaving her with huge debts. Needing to marry rich to protect her sisters’ futures, Kitty sets her sights on London’s high society. Shamelessly using every wit, charm, and trick available to her, true love doesn’t get a look in – until her scheming meets its match. This is a hilarious, witty and romantic comedy of errors.

Kitty Talbot needs a fortune. Love is not required…
She’s got just twelve weeks to find a rich husband and save her sisters – and she must use every ounce of cunning and ingenuity she possesses to climb London society if she is to succeed.
The only person she can’t fool is Lord Radcliffe, who sees straight through her plans, and is determined to stop her at any cost.
There is not a day to lose and no one – not even a lord – will stand in her way…
