Country mouse Lady Honora Banfield arrives in London with one mission: to catch a husband. A perpetual wallflower, she's going to do whatever it takes to win a proposal from London's most eligible bachelor, including teaming up with the most popular (and least proper) woman in London.

Miss Jacqueline Lockhart is having too much fun in her sixth season to ever consider settling down, even though she's been unsuccessful at mingling with the upper echelons of London society.

When Lady Honora agrees to exchange invitations to the most exclusive events in return for Jacqueline's introductions to eligible gentlemen, neither expects their friendship to ignite passion. Nora and Jacquie begin an affair with the strict understanding that it will end once Nora is married, but as a proposal becomes more imminent, choosing between a conventional life without love, or certain ruination if they stay together, isn't as simple as it seems.

      Walsh debuts with a charming if flawed Regency romance. Miss Jacqueline Lockhart has been the toast of the past six London seasons and her parents are pressuring her to finally settle on a match—but Jacquie has no desire to marry, too heartbroken over the last in her string of female lovers. Lady Honora Banfield is attending her first London season, and though she’s husband-hunting as a matter of course, she too is uninterested in the men. When the pair literally collide at a ball, it sparks both attraction and a mutually beneficial friendship. Where Jacquie is all sparkling flirtation, wallflower Honora can’t help her stiff demeanor in social situations, so Jacquie agrees to help Honora attract suitors if Honora will help the title-less Jacquie mingle with the upper crust, thus appeasing her ambitious parents. But as Jacquie and Honora’s feelings grow, their priority becomes finding a way to be together as more than just a fling. Though Honora’s shift from shy curiosity to boldly stated interest feels a bit abrupt, her relationship with Jacquie is sweet, sensual, and believable. Subplots about a group of bluestockings and a society of LGBTQ Londoners add depth, though a trans side character is awkwardly handled and underdeveloped. The result is engaging but uneven.
