"Sparkling" -Independent on Sunday A most unusual hero Freddy 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 situation Young 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 "My favourite historical novelist." -Margaret Drabble Georgette Heyer is the author of over fifty books and one of the best-known and best-loved historical novelists.
