Leonie Bonnard is being drawn into a twenty-year-old feud.

Justin Alastair, the Duke of Avon, is a reprehensible rake with an axe to grind. Decades ago the Comte de Saint-Vire did something unforgivable and ever since Justin has been lying in wait to settle the score.

When Justin meets Leon, a street urchin with a striking resemblance to his nemesis, he aims to use him as a pawn in his plans for revenge on the Comte. Except Leon is in fact Leonie, a beautiful young ingenue who may just steal Justin's heart.

Can Leonie win the Duke's affection, or will his need for revenge overcome them both?

About the Author:

Georgette Heyer is the original queen of Regency romance—the witty wordsmith who gave the genre its sparkle, sass, and swish of empire-line gowns. Long before Bridgerton was a twinkle in anyone’s eye, Heyer was delighting readers with dashing dukes, razor-sharp banter, and heroines who knew their minds (and how to outsmart a suitor or two).

With her impeccable historical detail, dry humor, and plots full of clever twists, Heyer practically invented the romantic comedy in a cravat. From ballroom intrigues to countryside capers, her novels are a delicious blend of Jane Austen charm and mystery-novel mischief—because yes, she also wrote a fair few whodunits!

If you adore sparkling dialogue, swoon-worthy slow burns, and a good scandal (with a happy ending, of course), Georgette Heyer is the timeless treasure your bookshelf needs.
