Synopsis
“My favourite historical novelist.”—Margaret Drabble“Sparkling.”—Independent on SundayA sham betrothal isn’t the only thing that gets Kitty and Freddy into trouble, but it’s definitely the beginning ..A most unusual heroFreddy is immensely rich, of course, and not bad-looking, but he’s mild-mannered, a bit hapless—not anything like his virile, handsome, rakish cousin Jack ...A heroine in a difficult situationYoung Kitty Charing stands to inherit a vast fortune from her irascible and eccentric guardian—provided she marries one of his great-nephews ...A sham betrothal No sooner does Kitty arrive in London then the race for her hand begins, but between confirmed rakes and bumbling affections, Kitty needs a daring scheme ...“Thus begins Cotillion, arguably the funniest, most charming of Georgette Heyer’s many delightful Regency romances.”—Amazon.co.uk“Triumphantly good ... Georgette Heyer is unbeatable.” —Sunday Telegraph
