  • ""She wasn't looking for love ... Her beauty rivaled only by her sensibility, Ventia Lanyon is nearly resigned to spinsterhood, thanks to the enormous amount of responsibility she inherited with a Yorkshire estate, an invalid brother and the lackluster efforts of two wearisomely persistent suitors. Then she meets her neighbor, the infamous Lord Damerel, a charming rake shunned by polite society--exactly the type of man that a woman of quality should stay away from. He wasn't looking for redemption ... Though his scandalous past and deepest secrets give Venetia every reason to mistrust him, a rogue always gets what he wants. Without warning, his demanding kiss threatens to become a bachelor's undoing ... and a spinster's most passionate awakening."--Page 4 of cover."@en
  • "In all her 25 years, lovely Venetia Lanyon has never been further than Harrogate. Then she meets her neighbor, Lord Damerel, and before she knows better, she is egging on a libertine whose way of life has scandalized the county for years."@en
  • "Venetia, extremely naive about men and the ways of the world, has no notion just how much danger her new next-door neighbor, the wicked Lord Damerel, could be to her; even when she needs him most, he appears to turn his back on her."@en
  • "Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen." -Publishers Weekly A young lady of beauty and intelligence facing an unbearable choice... Venetia Lanyon is one of Georgette Heyer's most memorable heroines. Beautiful, capable, and independent minded, her life on the family's estate in the countryside is somewhat circumscribed. Then a chance encounter with her rakish neighbor opens up a whole new world for Venetia. Lord Damerel has built his life on his dangerous reputation, and when he meets Venetia, he has nothing to offer and everything to regret. As Venetia's well-meaning family steps in to protect her from potential ruin, Venetia must find the wherewithal to take charge of her own destiny, or lose her one chance at happiness... What readers say: "Perfection! ...Witty, sparkling, and heart-wrenching." "Not only do I think that Venetia is Georgette Heyer's best novel, I think Venetia is one of her best characters and certainly one of my favorite heroines in all romance fiction." "Has all of Heyer's best features: humor, wit, and irony; an exquisite sense of time and place.""
