A Lady's Guide to Scandal

Sophie Irwin 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.
A Lady¿s Guide to Fortune-Hunting is Sophie¿s debut novel and it has already sold in nearly thirty countries worldwide.
