About this listen

Dishonoured and ashamed, the ton's scandalous darling, "Beau" the Marquess of Beaumont, is forced to flee England to escape debtor's prison.

After a chance encounter, it appears Miss Millicent Sparrow is his only remaining friend, however unlikely.

Miss Sparrow lives up to her name. Damaged and terrified by her cousin's violent abuse, Milly is used to being overlooked and prefers it that way, until the desperation of her bleak world is gilded by rakishly handsome Beau's extraordinary friendship.

Miss Sparrow’s lively letters help Beau through his banishment and when his father dies suddenly and Beau inherits the Dukedom, he seeks out his little bird. To his shock he finds a woman in despair and, moved by pity, he offers her the protection of his name by marriage.

But Milly becomes impossible to overlook, and the more Beau needs his wife, the less interested she seems in her gorgeous husband.

For this rake, getting a woman's attention has never been so complicated.

Warning: This book is liable to contain mild swearing and descriptive sex scenes!

A series of highly unlikely situations; the worst of iwhich is the highly unlikely relationship between master and servants. Even so, I was entertained throughout. The narrator is excellent even though further work is needed on female giggles.

Enjoyable storyline

Loved this story. Both Beau and Milly came across as lovely people. They start off as friends and grow close. The story is more involved than that and you will enjoy the ride through their lives.

The narrator is fabulous and makes you love and hate the characters.
If you decide to get this book and love romance I'm sure you will like this.

Loved it!

Brilliant story as ever from this really talented author. You feel involvement with the characters from the first. always know you are going to get a full story with nothing rushed. very descriptive. Maybe could do with a little less description in the intimate sections but easy to skip that if it isn't to your taste The story is always worth reading.

Great story

The story is great, but again the story is set outside it's timeline.
English servants are more snobby than the employers. Having read more about American higher ranking, they seem to have the same snobbery. So acceptance of "professional women " is a step too far. A simply slip of reality totally ruins the story.😌

The Americanisms ruins the story.
