About this listen

The first book in an irresistible duet by the globally bestselling author of the Bridgerton series. If you loved Bridgerton, you'll adore the Lyndon Sisters . . .

Eleanor Lyndon was minding her own business when a lord of the realm fell—quite literally—into her life. When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie's feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he'll lose his fortune. And Ellie needs a husband or her father's odious fiancée will choose one for her. And so they agree to wed.

Ellie never dreamed she'd marry a stranger, especially one with such a devastating combination of rakish charm and debonair wit. She tries to keep him at arm's length, at least until she discovers the man beneath the handsome surface. But Charles can be quite persuasive—even tender—when he puts his mind to it, and Ellie finds herself slipping under his seductive spell. And as one kiss leads to another, this unlikely pair discovers that their marriage is not so inconvenient after all...and just might lead to love.

I'm confused as the title and blurb are different from the audio. the story is of Caroline being mistaken for a Spanish spy....

the title and synopsis don't corresponding to the audio?

This book is the best of both worlds. The marvellous Julia Quinn and the amazing Rosalind Landor. Another superb story by the author brought to life by the narrator with the plot taking us into the world of espionage and secret agents.

Always a pleasure.

Having read most of Julia’s books I usually love the sprinkling of the spicer scenes. Unfortunately they just left me feeling a little uncomfortable at times. I’ve already read the second book in this series and would 100% recommend it. This one just didn’t feel up to her usual standard.

Disappointed
