Book description
When the new Lady Cardross begins to fill her days with fashion and
frivolity, the Earl has to wonder whether she did really only marry
him for his money, as his family so helpfully suggests. And now Nell
doesn't dare tell him the truth...
What with the concern over his wife's heart and pocket, sorting out
her brother's scrapes and trying to prevent his own half sister from
eloping, it is no wonder that the much-tried Earl almost misses the
opportunity to smooth the path of true love in his marriage ...
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and
best-loved of all historical novelists, who made the Regency period
her own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921,
was written at the age of fifteen to amuse her convalescent brother;
her last was My Lord John. Although most famous for her
historical novels, she also wrote eleven detective stories. Georgette
Heyer died in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.
Georgette Heyer was to many minds the finest historical and romantic
novelist of her age, and April Lady shows how she has won a new
audience with her dashing heroes and sparkly heroines.
