About this listen

Desperate times lead to hasty vows... A gripping regency mystery for fans of Eve Chase, Louise Douglas and Tracy Rees.

For better. For worse.

For the sake of her future.

London 1815. Jenny's father is dead. She needs to marry immediately to save her and her mother's livelihood.

A chance meeting presents the perfect candidate in the form of the enigmatic Erasmus Black. Gentleman, merchant, and if the rumours are to be believed, captain...

But where does Erasmus slip away to in the dead of night? What secrets about her father's business has he discovered? And was their meeting really just a convenient coincidence?

Guided by her unique intuition, Jenny must seek the hidden forces in play to unravel a sinister web of corruption...without getting trapped herself.

the main character slips between aristocratic to a Bristolian burr which is confusing and makes it difficult to remain within the story.

This is the type of book where you are desperate to find out what happens next, but at the same time you never want the story to end! I do hope this is the first in the series as I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters ❤️

Wow what a story

All of this book was enjoyable. It was so good to listen to a story that was exciting and interesting. Due a lot to the main characters especially the strong women roles!!
As it is based around facts about slavery at the time, it meant I learned something that I will always remember!!

A great adventure story that you dont want to stop listening too!!

This is a very interesting book that has dynamic and engaging characters. I like the reference to characters in the House of Lost Wives. I'm looking forward to a third book

Highly recommend this read. I really enjoyed book 1. The link through to this book was great and the story itself as good if not better, even more so for being inspired/highlighting the ongoing issues we still have in the world today. I cannot wait for the next book. Both the previous and this reader were perfectly suited to the dialogue. Bring on book 3, I will be preordering…

Fantastic storytelling can’t wait for book 3!
