The Fast and the Furious meets Pride and Prejudice in this delightfully fun regency romp from debut New Zealand author R.M. Caldwell.

Lucy Elliott, the young daughter of wealthy socialites, sneaks out every full moon to watch the illicit Night Races, where class doesn't matter - only the fastest carriage does. When she finds out that the newest suitor in town, Captain James Dashwood, is not only a fan of the races himself but also a competitor, she decides to find out more about this mysterious man.

Meanwhile, a slew of carriage robberies has been taking place in the county. Could the culprit be a competitor from the Night Races? Lucy and Dashwood are both determined to find out who is involved, but they're playing a dangerous game - and society is always watching.
