Publisher Description
This light-hearted Regency folly stars Miss Clarissa Harlowe who wants a quiet life—but falls in love with a smuggler, the marquess of St. Tarval. Tarval's sister, Lady Kitty, is determined to write a dramatic Gothic to save her brother’s mortgaged estate—if she can reach London. Clarissa's much-pursued cousin, Mr. Philip Devereaux, is inexplicably intrigued by Lady Kitty, who is doing her best to encourage the match between him and Clarissa, except that Clarissa is now betrothed to . . . Lord Wilburfolde. And so the mad change partners in the dance of love.
Customer Reviews
Excellent fun pushing boundaries of a restrictive genre
Regency novels are large in number but limited in scope. In this one the characters have depth and the plot diverges from the tired tropes of the genre. An excellent novel, almost up to the standards the same author set with Crown Duel
