Good reading
Georgette Heyer's Regency romances set the standard for all the others.
I'm currently re-reading Georgette Heyer's books. Though this isn't one of my favorites, her books never fail to delight!
The bride is in debt - unable to tell her husband, she manages to get caught up in even more deceptions.
A memorable novel of romantic intrigue.
