About the books in this bundle:

Cotillion:

Country-bred, spirited Kitty Charing is on the brink of inheriting a fortune from her eccentric guardian—provided that she marries one of his grandnephews. Kitty has spent her secluded life pining for the handsome, rakish Jack, who is well aware of her attachment. But when Jack fails to respond to his great–uncle's ultimatum, Kitty hatches a strategy of her own, and elicits the help of a most unlikely hero...

Faro's Daughter:

Beautiful Deborah Grantham, mistress of her aunt's elegant gaming house, must find a way to restore herself and her aunt to respectability, preferably without accepting either of two repugnant offers. One is from an older, very rich lord whose reputation for licentious behavior disgusts her; the other from the young, puppyish scion of a noble family whose relatives are convinced she is a fortune hunter. Max Ravenscar, her young suitor's uncle, comes to buy her off, an insult so scathing that it leads to a volley of passionate reprisals, escalating to a level of flair and fury that can have only one conclusion…

Friday's Child:

When the impetuous Lord Sheringham's marriage proposal is ruthlessly spurned by his lady of choice, he vows to marry the next female he encounters, who happens to be the young, penniless Miss Hero Wantage. Whisking her off to London, Sherry discovers there is no end to the scrapes his young, green bride can get into, as Hero leads him—and the rest of the ton—in a merry dance.

Bath Miss (novella): When he agreed to escort the granddaughter of an old friend from Bath to London, Sir Charles Wainfleet did not know what he was getting himself into. The young, vivacious Nan Massingham and her puppy Duke cause trouble at every turn, and his young charge tests Charles' patience almost as much as she makes him smile.

About the Author

Georgette Heyer's novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers for decades. English Heritage has awarded Georgette Heyer one of their prestigious Blue Plaques, designating her Wimbledon home as the residence of an important figure in British history. 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. Her last book, My Lord John, was published posthumously in 1975. A very private woman, she rarely reached out to the public to discuss her works or personal life. Her work 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. She was married to George Ronald Rougier, a barrister, and they had one son, Richard.
