About this audiobook

A Parody Romance Lady Honoria Culpepper has always done the proper thing— up until the night she’s caught kissing a highwayman during a robbery. Now the ton believes she’s been abducted, ravished, and possibly married. Honoria would very much like everyone to stop talking about it. Unfortunately, the highwayman in question refuses to disappear quietly. Gabriel “Dreadmoor” Everleigh is a rake, a scoundrel, and possibly a menace to society. He hadn’t meant to ruin anyone’s reputation—but since he has, he might as well seduce the lady in question. For justice. And fun. But when Honoria returns from a mysterious absence carrying a baby and absolutely no explanation, society loses its collective mind. Now there are wagers, duels, fainting debutantes, and a goose in the church rafters. Gabriel, for his part, is spiraling—emotionally, romantically, and possibly into fatherhood. She’s lying. He’s panicking. The baby is innocent (probably). And the goose? The goose has seen things.

About the author

Verity Farcett

Verity skewers every genre trope she can get her quill on. Whether it’s historical romance, heroic quests, or gothic melodrama, no trope is safe—but every adventure is written with a suspicious amount of affection for the genre she’s dismantling. If you like earnest disasters, reluctant heroes, and plots that fight back, you’ll find your next favorite catastrophe right here. When she isn’t orchestrating fictional disasters, Verity can be found communing with her Tufted Roman goose, Toni—muse, menace, and inspiration for all honking hijinks.View all audiobooks by Verity Farcett
