“Bridgerton lovers have found their next read. J. J. McAvoy is a welcome new voice in historical romance.”—New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean
“McAvoy has crafted a lushly romantic tale with a real thread of danger in its pages and a swoony second-chance romance.”—Entertainment Weekly
Aphrodite Du Bell has always resented her name. While the members of the ton, and even the queen herself, praise her warm brown skin, perfect curls, and exquisite features, Aphrodite can’t help but think that living up to the literal goddess of beauty is asking a bit much. Her renowned loveliness certainly didn’t stop the love of her life from jilting her and marrying another woman four years ago.
When Aphrodite’s formidable mother summons her back to London to aid in her sister’s debut, she has no choice but to acquiesce. But Aphrodite is determined to ignore one man in particular: Evander Eagleman, the Duke of Everely, the man who devastated her all those years ago. Yet why does her guileless heart still flutter at the sight of him?
Evander Eagleman lost his chance for true love, but now that he is an unattached widower, he is determined to win back Aphrodite’s trust—and her hand in marriage. But just as the couple make strides to mend old wounds, Evander’s true reason for rejecting Aphrodite threatens their coveted future . . . and even their lives.

      Aphrodite Du Bell is as beautiful and beguiling as her divine namesake, yet she seems fated for tragedy when the love of her life marries another and breaks her heart. When Evander, the Duke of Everely, returns four years later as a widower seeking forgiveness, Aphrodite decides to risk it all for a second chance at romance. Will they finally get the happy ending they deserve, or will family secrets and scheming foes once again drive them apart? McAvoy (The Prince's Bride) brings her flair for inclusive and diverting narratives to Regency romance. Narrators Grace Gray, Drew Rodgers, Kwame Augustine, and Rachael Reshma create a captivating and compelling listening experience. From passion to peril, the narrators portray a range of authentically expressed emotions that will keep listeners enthralled and eager for future series installments. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a fast-paced fresh take on Regency romance and a sexy emotional escapade. Recommended for fans of Diana Quincy, Sabrina Jeffries, and Julia Quinn.--Lauren Hackert
