__________________________
When Lady Hester Theale learns Sir Gareth Ludlow is planning to propose to her, she knows she cannot accept.
Hester senses that his heart lies elsewhere - so when Sir Gareth arrives at her home with beautiful Amanda Smith in tow, it seems to confirm her worst fears.
Yet all is not as it seems - Amanda is in fact a runaway; Gareth's mission is to get her home safely. However, Amanda's startlingly lively imagination proves to be more than he had bargained for . . .

Industry Reviews
Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to -- Katie Fforde
A writer of great wit and style.... I've read her books to ragged shreds -- Kate Fenton * Daily Telegraph *
My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours -- Margaret Drabble
