Historical settings, spicy scenes, secrets, and mysteries. The perfect novel for fans of Jane Austen and the series “Bridgertons.” A stylish pocket-sized book with sparkling foil on the cover and luxurious illustrations inside. Luxurious 19th-century balls, romance, passion, and a young writer who dreams of becoming the new Jane Austen. Baden-Baden, summer of 1830. Young Countess Eliza von Freiberg finds an old love letter. The intriguing message pushes Eliza to take up her pen. But how to write about feelings when you know nothing about love? Young Baron Philipp von Hohenhorn is happy to help Eliza with her unusual study of physical attraction. Of course, it’s purely theoretical. But one kiss changes everything… A secret passion begins between the characters—either it will turn into real love, or it will ruin the countess’s reputation forever. Why Baden-Baden? It’s simple. In the 19th century, German Baden-Baden became the summer capital of Europe. High-ranking officials and famous guests arrived there, all from European high nobility. 19th-century Baden-Baden means balls, concerts, gambling, walks through wonderful parks and alleys. Eliza and Philipp, the main characters of the novel, are perfect examples of the free and enthusiastic thinking of that time—the era of Romanticism. But they aren’t the only ones who succumbed to the charm of summer in Baden-Baden, because readers are in for an entire cycle. “An enchanting and airy story of secret love that lets you stroll through summer Baden-Baden of the 19th century. Spicy scenes will warm your cheeks with embarrassment, and a touching romantic storyline will make your heart beat faster.” — ALEX HILL, writer
