A PopSugar, Oprah Daily, and BookBub Most Anticipated Romance of 2022!Victorian high society’s most daring equestrienne finds love and an unexpected ally in her fight for independence in the strong arms of London’s most sought after and devastatingly handsome half-Indian tailor. Evelyn Maltravers understands exactly how little she's worth on the marriage mart. As an incurable bluestocking from a family tumbling swiftly toward ruin, she knows she'll never make a match in a ballroom. Her only hope is to distinguish herself by making the biggest splash in the one sphere she excels: on horseback. In haute couture. But to truly capture London's attention she'll need a habit-maker who's not afraid to take risks with his designs—and with his heart. Half-Indian tailor Ahmad Malik has always had a talent for making women beautiful, inching his way toward recognition by designing riding habits for Rotten Row's infamous Pretty Horsebreakers—but no one compares to Evelyn. Her unbridled spirit enchants him, awakening a depth of feeling he never thought possible. But pushing boundaries comes at a cost and not everyone is pleased to welcome Evelyn and Ahmad into fashionable society. With obstacles spanning between them, the indomitable pair must decide which hurdles they can jump and what matters most: making their mark or following their hearts?

"Couldn’t put it down. Love the way the author writes. "

"For a historical romance novel, this was outstanding. It actually had a very good plot and was different enough to set itself apart from most romances. The fact that it dealt with the ramifications of the colonization of Inda set it apart from your average romance and made it so much more interesting, along with being fun escapism."
"Just finished this and I absolutely loved it. I thought it was super sweet with enough romance and tension, without having any explicit scenes. Has anyone else finished or is currently reading? Thoughts? I’m very excited for the second book in the series to come out this fall. "
