A Romantic Comedy from the Unhinged Historical Collection
One rake. One lady. One extremely confusing baby.
Lady Honoria Culpepper has always done the proper thing-right 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.
Featuring:- A highway robbery that turns into a make out session
- A secret baby that isn't his (but might be )
- Mistaken paternity, malicious matchmaking, and unsolicited dueling
- One rake's slow descent into scandal-induced obsession
- A heroine who absolutely did not come back for him, shut up, stop asking
- A deathbed confession of a...questionable...nature
- And a goose who is frankly tired of your nonsense
For fans of quirky historical romance who crave more chaos and more dramatic declarations made while holding a baby like a prop in a Shakespearean tragedy.
Verity Farcett writes the books you never knew you needed-until you tripped over them.
From Regency romps with weaponized scandals to epic fantasies where the Chosen One probably isn't, Verity skewers every genre trope she can get her quill on. Her stories blend absurdity, wit, and sideways logic, delivering plots that spiral gloriously out of control while somehow still hitting every satisfying emotional beat.
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.
