A Regency Romance in the tradition of Georgette Heyer
Shy, retiring Philippa Davenport is delighted to meet a fellow novelist, Henry Ashton - until she learns he is the critic who derided her latest novel as romantic drivel. Several years later, plain duckling Philippa has blossomed into a swan, has two very attractive suitors, and has more important things to think about than the odious Mr. Ashton. But somehow through the misadventures of a British courtroom, a duel in Hyde Park, an elopement, and a stolen necklace, it is Henry Ashton who comes to Philippa's aid, challenges her mind, and stirs improper thoughts that have nothing to do with literature...
"Plot twists, complex characters, and an exquisitely researched historical setting - who could ask for anything more?" - Lauren Willig, New York Times Bestselling Author
"What a feast for the mystery and romance fan alike!" - Romantic Times
Genre: Historical Romance
