Delightfully immerse yourself in Regency England - and enjoy the work that launched a genre - via Georgette Heyer's first novel set in that time period.
Regency Buck, one of the few titles in her impressive oeuvre to be both a romance and a mystery, is the page-turning account of Judith and Peregrine Taverner, who lost their last living parent when they were just shy of adulthood. The siblings' appointed guardian, the "
insufferably arrogant" young Earl of Worth, tries to be a responsible protector of the beautiful, independent Judith and bon vivant Perry…but that job turns out to be bigger (with more life-ordeath consequences) than expected! (CH)
