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 ...

Georgette Heyer is unbeatable." -Sunday Telegraph Eager to put an end to the attentions of all the fortune-hunting men who pursued her, Miss Kitty Charing fled to London with Freddy Standen, a confirmed bachelor.
