A very young lady marries a man 14 years her senior. Although theirs is a love match, between her reckless brother and his wild young ward, Lord and Lady Cardross's misunderstandings pile up, until he's convinced she only married him for his money and she believes he only married her to produce an heir.
When he fears he's driven her away with his anger, the two finally have an unexpected opportunity to mend their rifts and start afresh...
About the Author
The late Georgette Heyer was a very private woman. Her historical novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers for decades, though she rarely reached out to the public to discuss her works or private life. She was born in Wimbledon in August 1902. She wrote her first novel, The Black Moth, at the age of seventeen to amuse her convalescent brother; it was published in 1921 and became an instant success.
Heyer published 56 books over the next 53 years, until her death from lung cancer in 1974. Heyer's large volume of works included Regency romances, mysteries and historical fiction. Known as the Queen of Regency romance, Heyer was legendary for her research, historical accuracy and her extraordinary plots and characterizations. Her last book, My Lord John, was published posthumously in 1975. She was married to George Ronald Rougier, a barrister, and they had one son, Richard.
