Description

The bestselling Queen of Regency Romance, Georgette Heyer, brings her signature wit and humor to this fake engagement love story, with charming results.

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…

Praise for Georgette Heyer and Cotillion:

"Sparkling"—Independent on Sunday

"Triumphantly good…Georgette Heyer is unbeatable."—Sunday Telegraph

"My favourite historical novelist."—Margaret Drabble

"Thus begins Cotillion, arguably the funniest, most charming of Georgette Heyer's many delightful Regency romances."—Amazon.co.uk

    If you want to read something that sounds like it was written by some old woman two hundred years ago, then you should jump right on this. I simply do not have the patience.

    Loved Cotillion. The hero is a surprise and there's so much humor. I've laughed aloud and reread many times.

    Witty dialogue and delightful twists in the plot. A wonderful reminder of where my love of this genre started.
