Description

New York Times bestselling author Georgette Heyer's beloved tale of an entertaining heroine stumbling on happiness when her marital machinations for her sister go awry.

Determined to secure a brilliant marriage for her beautiful sister, Frederica seeks out their distant cousin the Marquis of Alverstoke. Lovely, competent, and refreshingly straightforward, Frederica makes such a strong impression on him that to his own amazement, the Marquis agrees to help launch them all into society.

Normally Lord Alverstoke keeps his distance from his family, which includes two overbearing sisters and innumerable favor-seekers. But with his enterprising — and altogether entertaining—country cousins chasing wishes and getting into one scrape after another right on his doorstep, before he knows it the Marquis finds himself dangerously embroiled.

Praise for Georgette Heyer:

"I have Georgette Heyer's books in every room of my house."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts

Reviews

  • You will want to read this book over and over again

    This is the first time I have read one of this author's books. I could not put it down‼️ Dishes pile up in the sink; beds remained unmade; dirty laundry went unwashed as I devoured this witty and cleverly written book. She draws you into the story such that you forget where you are and you wish the book will never end.

  • So far, my favorite heroine is Frederica

    One of the strongest, most sensible, and warm hearted heroines of the author, is Frederica in my opinion. Modern females with their own family baggage and obligations can relate to this stylish girl who is older than her years. She is the epitome of smart respectability with a reckless streak that compromises the hero every time she gets into a situation, but the readers will love her for it. The only reason why I gave it four out of five is that Frederica's own thought process on romance is sadly never revealed to us and the ending was abrupt. The pairing between her and the Marquis is hilarious. The slow, methodical process that the hero's heart unravels is so beautifully written, you will want to laugh with him through the process, until the inevitable end.

  • Go for it! Regency delight.
