Description
When Ashley Carrington, Viscount Desford, encounters Charity “Cherry” Steane, a vulnerable young woman seemingly abandoned by her ne’er-do-well father, he finds himself drawn into the complications of her precarious situation. Set against the manners, expectations, and family politics of Regency society, this quietly humorous romance explores loyalty, responsibility, friendship, and the uncertain boundaries between affection and love. Alongside Ashley and Cherry, a vivid cast of relatives—including the perceptive and long-devoted Hetta—brings warmth and complexity to a story shaped by Heyer’s deft dialogue and sharply observed character portraits.
