Lady of Quality

Independent and spirited, Miss Annis Wychwood gives little thought to finding herself a suitable husband, thus dashing the dreams of many hopeful suitors When she becomes embroiled in the affairs of the runaway heiress Lucilla, though, she encounters the beautiful fugitive s guardian as rakish and uncivil a rogue she has ever met Although chafing a bit at the restrictions of Regency society in Bath, Annis does have to admit that Oliver Carleton, at least, is never boring.Showing all the skills that won her a devoted worldwide readership, Georgette Heyer s Lady of Quality is a dashing romance by the undisputed queen of the romantic novel.
