Publisher Description
Bestselling author Georgette Heyer, the Queen of Regency Romance, brings her sparkling wit to this story with a Shakespearean twist.
A daring escape
Penelope Creed will do anything to avoid marrying her repulsive cousin. Dressed in boy's clothing, she's fleeing from London when she's discovered by Sir Richard Wyndham, himself on the verge of the most momentous decision of his life.
And a heroic rescue
When Sir Richard encounters the lovely young fugitive, he knows he can't allow her to travel to the countryside all alone, so he offers himself as her protector. As it happens, at that very moment Sir Richard could use an escape of his own...

Customer Reviews
But why so expensive? It’s 8$ on Amazon
A classic heyer story. Beautifully written, funny and adventurous- absolutely addicting!! Why the price? It’s marked as fourteen buck on I books and it’s way cheaper on amazon- great story though, no matter how you read it it will be an enjoyable way to pass the time.
GREAT READ!
Just finished reading this book. It was fantastic I couldn't put it down!
