About this listen

Calling all Bridgerton and Jane Austen fans! Fall in love with your favourite new Regency series for 2025. Meet the Fairfax family…

‘Worthy of Georgette Heyer…the most wonderfully satisfying five star Regency Romp’ Julie Caplin

‘I wager you this, Miss Fairfax – you’ll choose to marry for every reason other than love by the end of the season!’

Miss Sophie Fairfax has every intention of marrying for love, refusing to go along with her brother’s plans for a marriage of convenience or title. Throwing caution to the wind at her very first ball, Sophie finds herself in the path of the most notorious rake in the ton.

Agreeing a wager with him may be wicked, but finding herself alone with the dangerously attractive Lord Rotherby might be one scandal too far…

A must-read for fans of Evie Dunmore, Martha Waters and Virginia Heath.

Each story in The Fairfax Sisters series can be read as a standalone novel.

Thoroughly enjoyable story, very entertaining my only criticism was the difficulty in places of spotting the differences in the male characters voices, in places it took a while to sort out who was talking. Once again thank you for the entertainment. I look forward to the next book.
