‘A wonderful wit … I’ve read her over and over and over again.’
- Stephen Fry
The daughter of a country parson with limited means, Arabella dreams of starting a new life in the milieu of London’s high society. Her looks, charm and the benevolence of a doting godmother are sufficient to secure her first season in the capital, but it isn’t long before her notoriously short temper results in a run-in with the dashing Robert Beaumaris. Is this the start of a raging battle of wills or a tempestuous courtship? Beautifully illustrated by Sally Dunne, and published in series with the best-selling Venetia, this gorgeous edition is a must-have for Georgette Heyer fans and anyone who couldn't tear themselves away from the glitz, glamour and gossip of Bridgerton. This is regency romance at its finest, with a female protagonist as independent as the era allowed, and all the exacting period details that have ensured Heyer’s continued reign as queen of the genre.

A stickler for accurate period detail and a fan of feisty female protagonists, Heyer’s witty, page-turning stories offer unashamed entertainment and escapism and have inspired literature, film and drama, as demonstrated recently by Bridgerton, which is based on American author Julia Quinn’s best-selling novels. With the hit television drama attracting a huge swathe of new regency romance fans, Heyer’s readership is likely to swell and these beautiful editions are perfect gifts for her fans and Bridgerton binge-watchers alike.
