Book excerpt: The bestselling Queen of Regency Romance, Georgette Heyer, brings her signature wit and humor to this fake engagement love story, with charming results. 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... Praise for Georgette Heyer and Cotillion: "Sparkling"—Independent on Sunday "Triumphantly good...Georgette Heyer is unbeatable."—Sunday Telegraph "My favourite historical novelist."—Margaret Drabble "Thus begins Cotillion, arguably the funniest, most charming of Georgette Heyer's many delightful Regency romances."—Amazon.co.uk
