Overview
Georgette Heyer has charmed tens of millions of readers with her delightful sense of humor and unique take on Regency romance. This edition includes an original foreword by Eloisa James.Sylvester, Duke of Salford, feels it is time to find a suitable bride. He has numerous candidates in mind, all of whom are nobly born, gently raised, and bore him to tears. His mother wants him to marry for love, but he scoffs at the notion, until he travels to Wiltshire to meet Phoebe Marlow, and discovers himself maddeningly intrigued by this young lady with literary aspirations.Phoebe, however, finds herself in the awkward position of having pilloried the Duke in a romance novel she's written, even though she had met him only once before. Because he snubbed her at a ball, she's featured him as the villain in her novel, and unfortunately he and his family, though fictionalized, are quite recognizable.As they get to know each other, and begin to entertain tender feelings, the looming publication of her novel fills Phoebe with trepidation, and sure enough, when Sylvester reads it, he's horrified.This is Heyer's only romance novel to feature a female writer. During the Regency a woman would only publish a book without her name on it - even Jane Austen didn't use her name - her books were written "by a Lady.
