Synopsis

A notorious rake. A daring young lady. A Regency romance where wit, will, and wickedness collide.

In Devil's Cub, Georgette Heyer delivers a masterclass in romantic tension and character-driven storytelling. This genre-defining classic--sequel to These Old Shades--follows a wild nobleman whose reckless choices set off a chain of events that lead to the one woman who refuses to be charmed or controlled.

For readers of Jane Austen, Julia Quinn, and Mary Balogh who crave strong-willed heroines, emotionally complex heroes, and Regency tales rich with sparkling dialogue and scandal, this is a must-read. Delicious enemies to lovers romance, mistaken identity, and perilous choices make for an unforgettable novel.

The Georgette Heyer Signature Collection is a fresh celebration of an author who has charmed tens of millions of readers with her delightful sense of humor and unique take on Regency romance. Includes fun and fascinating bonus content--a glossary of Regency slang, a Reading Group Guide, and an Afterword by official biographer Jennifer Kloester sharing insights into what Georgette herself thought of The Grand Sophy and what was going on in her life as she was writing.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Georgette Heyer's novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers for decades. English Heritage has awarded Georgette Heyer one of their prestigious Blue Plaques, designating her Wimbledon home as the residence of an important figure in British history. She was born in Wimbledon in August 1902. She wrote her first novel, The Black Moth, at the age of seventeen to amuse her convalescent brother; it was published in 1921 and became an instant success.

Heyer published 56 books over the next 53 years, until her death from lung cancer in 1974. Her last book, My Lord John, was published posthumously in 1975. A very private woman, she rarely reached out to the public to discuss her works or personal life. Her work included Regency romances, mysteries and historical fiction. Known as the Queen of Regency romance, Heyer was legendary for her research, historical accuracy and her extraordinary plots and characterizations. She was married to George Ronald Rougier, a barrister, and they had one son, Richard.
