“The true story of lowborn but beautiful Elizabeth Gunning (1733-1790), who took Georgian England by storm and became a duchess twice, is vividly fictionalized in this unconventional romance from Henley…Possessing all the sensuality and glitter of a more traditional romance but enriched by the plot’s complexity and the heroine’s genuine growth, this captivating tale will leave readers amply satisfied.”
