The siren of Sussex

As an incurable bluestocking from a family tumbling swiftly toward ruin, Evelyn 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 tailor who’s not afraid to take risks. Half-Indian dressmaker Ahmad is 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.
