Description
In Bath, sensible and self-possessed Abigail Wendover is determined to protect her impressionable niece, Fanny, from the polished charms of a man she suspects is nothing more than a fortune hunter. Her campaign becomes considerably more complicated with the return of Miles Calverleigh, the family’s notorious “black sheep,” whose years abroad have made him wealthy, worldly, and no less provocative. As old resentments, romantic schemes, and social expectations collide, Abigail finds herself drawn into a battle of wits with a man who challenges her firmest convictions. Witty, spirited, and richly observed, this Regency romance showcases Georgette Heyer’s signature blend of sparkling dialogue, comic misunderstanding, and sharp social insight.
