Publisher Description
An exciting and thrilling story from bestselling author Georgette Heyer, known as the Queen of Regency romance, legendary for her research, historical accuracy, and her extraordinary plots and characterizations.
Such a daring escape…
Their infamous adventurer father has taught Prudence Tremaine and her brother Robin to be masters of disguise. Ending up on the wrong side of the Jacobite rebellion, brother and sister flee to London, Prudence pretending to be a dashing young buck, and Robin a lovely young lady.
Could cost them both their hearts…
Then Prudence meets the elegant Sir Anthony Fanshawe, and Robin becomes the mysterious hero of the charming Letitia Grayson, and in order to have what they truly want, the two masqueraders must find a way to unmask themselves without losing their lives…

Customer Reviews
One of my favorite Heyer novels
I do so want to smack the arrogant and conceited ‘old gentleman’ upside the head!
I am so taken with Robin and Prudence/Kate and Peter, the wonderful convoluted stories they have to tell, and I could easily fall for Sir Anthony, were he in my circle and time, or me in his.
This is a story of romance and enjoyment. I’m not sure how many times I’ve read this, but if you have not, you are in for a treat.
A Favorite of Ms. Heyer
One of Georgette Heyer's most delightful novels. Danger, intrigue, daring do, true love, spiced with a great deal of comedy. A must-read.
