Description
In Regency England, the shy and sheltered Duke of Sale—known as Gilly—has wealth and status but little freedom to make his own choices. When an opportunity arises to escape his watchful household, he embarks on an adventure involving a beautiful foundling, her ambitious guardian, and a cast of colorful characters whose schemes quickly draw him into scrapes and unexpected danger. Along the way, Gilly and the quiet, capable Harriett must learn to assert themselves and discover what independence truly means. Blending romance, coming-of-age themes, sparkling period detail, and farcical intrigue, the novel showcases Georgette Heyer’s signature wit and inventive take on Regency conventions.
