Welcome to Litsy!

Two women set their sights on marrying the same duke, but instead of becoming enemies, they find themselves falling in love�though not with him. �My new favorite romance author.��Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series �A genuinely, strikingly funny romantic romp. I inhaled it!��Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Great Big Beautiful Life Harriet Lockhart never planned to marry. She has spent her life defying expectations, playing male roles on London�s seediest stages, and doing whatever she pleases. When Harry is contacted by her hitherto anonymous father, she finds herself at risk of losing the trust fund that�s subsidized her lifestyle�unless she begins to lead a more respectable life, starting with finding a husband. Emily Sergeant, the picture of modesty, has only ever wanted to marry. And were it not for one mistake in her youth that rendered her a social pariah, she would be appropriately betrothed. Instead, she�s due to wed the only willing�and most abominable�man in her small town. Desperate for an alternative, Emily flees to London to snag a less lecherous fianc�. Worlds collide, dramatically and hilariously, when both women decide on the very same duke as their best possible chance at a tolerable husband and a secure future. A tongue-in-cheek romp through London�s summer season, from balls to brothels, horseraces to duels, Harry and Emily compete for the duke�s favor, only to find their true hearts� desires may be more compatible than they could have ever predicted.
