About The Book
Three friends. One Wager. Winner takes all.
The Earl—‘Lucky Ned’ Ashby. Pompous, preening, certain that he is beloved by everyone.
The Miller—John Turner. Proud, forced to work as the Earl’s secretary, their relationship growing ever more strained.
The Doctor—Rhys Gray. Practical, peace-loving, but caught in the middle of two warring friends.
Their wager is simple: By trading places with John Turner and convincing someone to fall in love with him, Ned plans to prove it’s him the world adores, not his money. Turner plans to prove him wrong.
But no one planned on Phoebe Baker, the unassuming governess who would fall into their trap, and turn everything on its head…
Three best friends make a life-changing bet in the first book in a witty, sexy new Regency trilogy from acclaimed author Kate Noble, writer of the wildly popular Emmy award–winning web series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

Raves and Reviews
"The subtle development of romance between the devil-may-care earl and the proper former lady is the impetus behind this winning novel, which also boasts rich characters and a deliciously complex story."
– PW Best Romances of Summer, Publishers Weekly
“Noble spins a clever, tremendously entertaining tale of truth and lies, love and friendship.”
– Sarah Maclean for The Washington Post
“Noble's insightful and sometimes pointed observations of character make this story a true delight.”
– All About Romance
“Noble calls her love and laughter romance a blending of Trading Places and Pride and Prejudice. With its refreshing style and wit, one could add a Shakespearean comedy to the list...The charming characters will sweep readers away into the story.”
– RT Book Reviews
“Noble gives her readers an intricate plot and a sizeable cast of characters in a story that is part romantic romp, part moral tale.”
– The Romance Dish
