About

Mr B's Emporium couldn't be more excited to welcome bestselling author Sophie Irwin to Bath to celebrate the release of her brand new novel, How to Lose a Lord in Ten Days.

A witty reimagining of Regency life with a fresh contemporary energy, Sophie's books are filled with strong heroines from unconventional backgrounds, swoonworthy romantic leads, and her signature wicked sense of humour. How to Lose a Lord in Ten Days sees Sophie put a historical twist on the classic noughties romcom – think Jane Austen by way of Beth O'Leary!

Sophie Irwin is the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting and A Lady's Guide to Scandal. She grew up in Dorset before moving to south London. She has spent years immersed in studying historical fiction, from a dissertation on how Georgette Heyer helped win World War Two, to time spent in dusty stacks and old tomes losing herself in Regency London researching this book.

About the book:

He wants a wife. She wants to be jilted. This. Is. War.

Rich, handsome and titled Lord Ashford has every lady in England longing for his hand in marriage.

Everyone, that is, except Miss Lydia Hanworth – the only young woman Ashford wishes to marry.

Pressured into accepting Ashford's proposal, the announcement must be kept secret for ten days. Can Lydia free herself from her obligations before the engagement is publicly announced, without ruining her reputation?

You can achieve an awful lot in ten days, after all…
