'Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's' Joanne Harris'Utter, immersive escapism' Sophie Kinsella_________________Diana Beauleigh is perfectly capable of choosing her own husband. The Duke of Andover, however, regards her refusal as merely the opening move in a game he intends to win.All diamonds, dangerous charm and supreme self-assurance, the Duke is impossible to ignore – and wiser to avoid. But when his attentions take a sinister turn, Diana is rescued by a masked highwayman whose manners are far too fine for the road.Wounded and unwilling to explain himself, her mysterious rescuer is soon under Diana’s roof – and rather too much in her thoughts.Yet which is the greater danger: the Duke’s determination to possess her, or losing her heart to a man who remains a mystery?_________________'The greatest writer who ever lived' Antonia Fraser'A rollicking good read that will be of particular joy to Bridgerton viewers' Independent 'Georgette Heyer's Regency romances brim with elegance, wit and historical accuracy, and this is one of her finest and most entertaining ...

Recensioner i media

"My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours" -- Margaret Drabble "Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to" -- Katie Fforde "A writer of great wit and style ... I've read her books to ragged shreds" -- Kate Fenton Daily Telegraph "Sparkling" Independent "A tale of love and adventure, clearness and charm, and an originality to delight. A tale to stir one's blood" Boston Evening Transcript
