22-year-old aspiring writer Edith 'Eddie' Miller and her best friend Rose have always done everything together-climbing trees, throwing grapes at boys, sneaking bottles of wine, practicing kissing... Now that they're out in society, Rose is suddenly talking about marriage, and Eddie is horrified.

When Eddie meets charming, renowned poet - and rival to Lord Byron - Nash Nicholson, he invites her to his crumbling Gothic estate in the countryside. The entourage of eccentric artists indulging in pure hedonism is exactly what Eddie needs in order to finish her novel and make a name for herself. But Eddie might discover that trying to keep up with the literati isn't all poems and pleasure...

“Ferociously witty and joyously unrepentant, Infamous wraps a rollicking story of regency revelry excess around a heart of queer love and the power of self-authorship.” —Kat Dunn

“I really enjoyed Reputation, but I think Infamous knocks it out of the water. Funny, furious, romantic. Just SUCH a good time. All the stars!” — Laura Wood

“Gleeful and unruly, Infamous brings Gen Z zeitgeist to some seriously hilarious Regency angst. Croucher has a genius for hijinks, hot messes, irrepressible characters, and turns of phrase that will stick in your mind until the end of time.” —Joanna Lowell, author of The Duke Undone

“Bridgerton's wild little sister. So much fun!” —Sarra Manning

“Infamous is everything I wanted and more - it's witty, whip-smart and full of characters I totally fell for. I didn't want it to end.” —Laura Kay
