Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

With an introduction written and read by Katie Fforde.

Hero Wantage is desperate to change her fate.

When the dashing Lord Sherry proposes out of the blue, Hero is overjoyed - she'll escape a life as a governess and, once they wed, he can finally claim his inheritance.

But as Hero attempts to social climb in glamorous London society, Sherry is concerned that her naivety will ruin them both and takes drastic action.

The chaos that follows will push friendships - and hearts - to breaking point.

'Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes. . . Utter, immersive escapism' SOPHIE KINSELLA

'One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's' JOANNE HARRIS

'Heart-stoppingly gorgeous' HARRIET EVANS

'Georgette Heyer is second to none' SUNDAY TIMES

Goodreads review by Suzannah Rowntree on June 02, 2019

Hold onto your hats: I'm about to rave about a Georgette Heyer novel. This one has quite a large cast for your typical Heyer novel - let's see, we've got an alpha couple, a beta couple, three sidekicks and a villain. These eight people share approximately one (1) brain cell between them all, and it's......more
