This early, unusual romance by Georgette Heyer features a young
country gentleman driven by jealousy to transform himself into a
sophisticated dandy to win the lady he loves.
In the glorious days of the mid 18th century, sophisticated men
wore high heels, powdered wigs, and plenty of lace. Philip Jettan,
however, is just a stolid country gentleman, happy with his estate,
plainspoken, and plainly dressed. When a London dandy visits the
neighborhood and attracts entirely too much attention from Philip's
beautiful young neighbor Cleone Charteris, Philip goes to Paris to
learn how to become what he thinks Cleone wants. When he encounters
Cleone again, he is powdered and patched, and Cleone discovers a
preference for the simple, plainspoken gentleman he used to be. Now
that he has transformed for her sake, it's up to her to understand
her own heart
