Divorced American horse girl countess and horse boy marquess traumatized by the English boarding school system fall for each other while trying to get someone to hit on her sister.

2 main POVs with one side POV, pretend relationship with 3rd party, Victorian era, romance, spicy, MC ages mid-20s (25/27ish)

Pretty mellow scandal-as-conflict book. Both MCs are likeable and there's lots of cameos from other Heathverse MCs and locations bc Rex is related to everyone.

She's divorced for super reasonable reasons but that's a new thing, he doesn't want shitty kids to pick on his kids like he was so he avoids public scandal like the plague. Her uncle wants him to help out her sister who people avoid bc of her sister's divorce by pretending an interest.

Just a super even workhorse book.

Narrator: Helen Lloyd does a good job- one of the best performances I've heard toggle between British and American accents. There's no "why is she suddenly Southern or that old timey faux midatlantic accent" and that's very appreciated.

Antony Ferguson does one or two quick journal readings.
