About this listen
Two women set their sights on marrying the same duke, but instead of becoming enemies, they find themselves falling in love—though not with him.
“My new favorite romance author.”—Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series
“A genuinely, strikingly funny romantic romp. I inhaled it!”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Great Big Beautiful Life
Harriet Lockhart never planned to marry. She has spent her life defying expectations, playing male roles on London’s seediest stages, and doing whatever she pleases. When Harry is contacted by her hitherto anonymous father, she finds herself at risk of losing the trust fund that’s subsidized her lifestyle—unless she begins to lead a more respectable life, starting with finding a husband.
Emily Sergeant, the picture of modesty, has only ever wanted to marry. And were it not for one mistake in her youth that rendered her a social pariah, she would be appropriately betrothed. Instead, she’s due to wed the only willing—and most abominable—man in her small town. Desperate for an alternative, Emily flees to London to snag a less lecherous fiancé.
Worlds collide, dramatically and hilariously, when both women decide on the very same duke as their best possible chance at a tolerable husband and a secure future. A tongue-in-cheek romp through London’s summer season, from balls to brothels, horseraces to duels, Harry and Emily compete for the duke’s favor, only to find their true hearts’ desires may be more compatible than they could have ever predicted.

“Lady Like is a genuinely strikingly funny romantic romp. I inhaled it!”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Great Big Beautiful Life
“Lady Like immediately charmed me with its wonderful, effervescent wit. This Regency era sapphic romance, featuring a truly delightful pair of heroines in Harry and Emily, is not only fun but thoughtful too. I just know readers are going to laugh, swoon, and altogether have a very happy time with it!”—India Holton, USA Today bestselling author of The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love
“Lady Like is compulsively readable: perfectly clever, funny, and hot. It’s one of my favorite romance reads of the year, and I can’t wait for whatever Mackenzi writes next!”—Evie Dunmore, USA Today bestselling author of the League of Extraordinary Women series
