Description
Deep in debt and unable to access his inheritance, the headstrong Viscount Sheringham rashly vows to marry the next woman he meets after a wealthy beauty rejects him. His impulsive choice is seventeen-year-old Hero Wantage, an orphan facing an uncertain future, and their hasty marriage transports them into the dazzling—and perilous—social whirl of Regency London. As Hero encounters society’s temptations and Sherry is forced to confront the consequences of his selfish ways, their unlikely union gradually develops into something far more meaningful. Filled with sparkling dialogue, comic scrapes, memorable characters, and richly observed period detail, this beloved romance showcases Georgette Heyer’s signature wit and mastery of the Regency comedy of manners.
