"My favourite historical novelist."-Margaret Drabble "Sparkling."-Independent on Sunday A sham betrothal isn't the only thing that gets Kitty and Freddy into trouble, but it's definitely the beginning .. 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
