About this listen

Nominated for a 2019 Booksellers' Best Award

Locked in a competition that could change their lives...or break their hearts.

Mr. James Alcott has carved out his place in the world with an esteemed position at Harrow School. But when the school changes direction, he’s set adrift. He can redeem himself by founding a scholarship program if he wins the annual Duke’s Trust competition for seed money. A seemingly simple task. Until a beautiful and mysterious competitor arouses his curiosity and leaves him speaking in iambic pentameter.

Lady Tessa Harmsworth was denied a formal education by her father. Now, she has fabricated the reclusive Mr. Pettibone as the champion of her scholarship fund to further the education of other women and girls. The deception is the only way a woman can enter the Duke’s Trust competition, let alone win it. And Tessa intends to win. Until her annoyingly clever, poetry-spouting opponent sets out to uncover her ruse.

As Tessa and James match wits, their spirited rivalry turns into a passionate affair. With the coveted prize hanging in the balance, will they choose their lifelong dreams or follow their reckless hearts?

Two people, competing for a grant to educate students who couldn’t afford the tuition, do what they can to gain an advantage. The result was a HEA. Well-written with a good storyline. The narrator did a nice job reading the book.
