Publisher Description
Bestselling author Georgette Heyer, the Queen of Regency Romance, proves once again that love can always triumph.
Abigail Wendover, 'on the shelf' at twenty-eight…is determined to prevent her pretty and high-spirited niece from becoming attached to a good-looking town-beau and an acknowledged fortune-hunter of shocking reputation. Unfortunately, that means a confrontation with his scandalous uncle.
Miles Calverleigh, the black sheep of his family, is enormously rich from a long sojourn in India, has a scandalous past, and is not at all inclined toward good manners. Miles turns out to be the most provoking creature Abigail has ever met—with a disconcerting ability to throw her into giggles at quite the wrong moment… Could he be Abby's most important ally in keeping her niece from a most unfortunate match?
Praise for Georgette Heyer:
"Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen."—Publishers Weekly
"A writer of great wit and style… I've read her books to ragged shreds."—Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph
"Her books are always bestsellers, but none has dominated the rest of the field quite like this one."—Sunday Express
Customer Reviews
My favorite Heyer pairing
Abigail has the most awkward name and she's not the prettiest woman. Heaven knows she's been single a little too long but even the most stoic and proper exterior can't deny the true romantic underneath. And her Caverleigh is charming, witty and impressive without even trying to be. Their story is told in the most natural and flowing way, and their happy end as described in their own words and thoughts is by far the most fully entertaining of Heyer's happy endings.
