""A writer of great wit and style... I've read her books to
ragged shreds.""
Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph
"Horatia Winwood is simply helping her family"
When the Earl of Rule proposes marriage to her sister Lizzie,
Horatia offers herself instead. Her sister is already in love with
someone else, and Horatia is willing to sacrifice herself for her
family's happiness. Everyone knows she's no beauty, but she'll do
her best to keep out of the Earl's way and make him a good wife.
And then the Earl's archenemy, Sir Robert, sets out to ruin her
reputation...
"The Earl of Rule has found just the wife he wants"
Unbeknownst to Horatia, the Earl is enchanted by her. There's
simply no way he's going to let her get into trouble. Overcoming
some misguided help from Horatia's harebrained brother and a hired
highwayman, the Earl routs his old enemy, and wins over his young
wife, gifting her with a love that she never thought she could
expect.
""Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane
Austen.""
