A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting by Sophie Irwin

The hunt is on…and the clock is ticking!

Kitty Talbot has a problem. A big one. Saddled with her father’s considerable debts, she has 12 weeks to come up with the money to save the family home that she and her sisters have loved their whole lives. She might be a provincial country girl, but Kitty knows that the only possible solution is to find a wealthy husband that can afford to both pay off the debts and keep the rest of her family intact, and there is only one place to find a man who fits those qualifications: the high-society London season. Kitty heads to the big city and throws herself single-mindedly into her task. There she expects challenges and pitfalls of course, but she is DEFINITELY unprepared for the biggest roadblock that she encounters. That would be Lord Radcliffe. He sees through her immediately. He is immune to her charms and her wiles, because he knows she’s a fortune hunter seeking the first wealthy man who will marry her.

Kitty, who does manage to score herself a proposal, faces a series of family emergencies providing another challenge. And of course, the maddening Lord Radcliffe is involved! He sets off in one direction, and Kitty sets off in another. They are both determined to do what they can to save their respective families. But during the time apart, the two begin to consider what they’ve come to mean to each other.

Is cash truly king? Or can true love trump financial woes?

Sophie Irwin’s debut novel is sweet, sexy, and the perfect read for anyone counting down the days until the next season of Bridgerton!

Sophie Irwin’s debut is one of the most fun, romantic books I’ve read in a long time.

About the Author

Sophie Irwin grew up in Dorset before moving to south London after university. A Lady’s Guide To Hunting is her debut as an author but already has book a new book planned for later this year, A Lady’s Guide To Scandal.

She has spent years immersed in the study of historical fiction, from a dissertation on how Georgette Heyer helped win World War Two, to time spent in dusty stacks and old tomes losing herself in Regency London while researching this book. Her love and passion for historical fiction bring a breath of fresh air and a contemporary energy to the genre, and Sophie hopes to transport readers to a time when ballrooms were more like battlegrounds.
