Brighton, England 1820 Amelia Moore wants only one thing--to secure the future happiness of her younger sister, Clara. With their stepfather's looming death, the two sisters will soon be on their own--without family, a home, or a penny to their names. When an invitation arrives to join a house party at Lakeshire Park, Amelia grasps at the chance. If she can encourage a match between Clara and their host, Sir Ronald, then at least her sister will be taken care of. Little does she know that another guest, the arrogant and overconfident Mr. Peter Wood, is after the same goal for his own sister. Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry that Amelia has no choice but to win. But competing against Peter--and eventually playing by his rules--makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim: her heart.

"So enjoyable! I could totally see this as a movie! I enjoying entering the regency era and seeing typical scenes play. From what I can tell, the author used as much historical information as possible to write this. I found the inclusion of the common game 'blind man's bluff' so fun and very enlightening of each of the characters.<br/><br/>I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.<br/><br/>---<br/>Edit 4/11<br/><br/>I keep thinking about this book! There's something about this that draws me back to it. Definitely worth a reread."

"Not my style of writing. A bit too dramatic while reading Amelia’s thoughts on everything. I had to skip to the end to get the happy ending I wanted without the “whoa is me” narrative."
