Yet when a chance comes to help her crush right a few injustices of the world, Tommy jumps at the chance. Philippa has been forced into a life she hates by her parents, so being included in a Wynchester capper is a breath of fresh air.

One of the show's most anticipated novels of the year is finally about to be released. Your hosts have been not so patiently waiting to read A Caribbean Heiress in Paris, which meant we found a way to read it early and managed speak with the author herself, Adriana Herrera! Adriana has become well known for her contemporary romance novels but in her debut full-length historical, she has blown us away. We speak about the inspiration behind the novel and what it means to see yourself represented on the pages of your favorite books. There are also many tangents as we learn all about her research process, finding delicious historical tidbits, and talk at length about what fun it would have been to be in Paris during the late 1800's.

Jane Fairfield has four hundred and eighty days more that she needs to remain unmarried - and her enormous dowry is a prize for any man. She has to devise a way to stave off even the most desperate suitor, and luckily she's found an act that seems to do the trick. Oliver Marshall knows what it's like to be the butt of a joke, and he hates to see anyone be trampled by the ton. He's been biding his time and building favors as he rises to power in Parliament. But one of Jane's rebuffed suitors has taken things personally, and he's willing to trade his vote on a very important bill for Oliver to absolutely humiliate Jane. Will Oliver become the villain in Jane's story or is he actually the villain in his own? **It's like being beaten to death by SPOILERS!!**
