Now, get three full-length novels featuring some of Heyer's most unusual heroines, plus a delightful bonus novella from the Queen of Regency Romance's little known short story collection. About the books in this bundle: Cotillion: Country-bred, spirited Kitty Charing is on the brink of inheriting a fortune from her eccentric guardian-provided that she marries one of his grandnephews. Kitty has spent her secluded life pining for the handsome, rakish Jack, who is well aware of her attachment. But when Jack fails to respond to his great–uncle's ultimatum, Kitty hatches a strategy of her own, and elicits the help of a most unlikely hero ... Faro's Daughter: Beautiful Deborah Grantham, mistress of her aunt's elegant gaming house, must find a way to restore herself and her aunt to respectability, preferably without accepting either of two repugnant offers. One is from an older, very rich lord whose reputation for licentious behavior disgusts her; the other from the young, puppyish scion of a noble family whose relatives are convinced she is a fortune hunter. Max Ravenscar, her young suitor's uncle, comes to buy her off, an insult so scathing that it leads to a volley of passionate reprisals, escalating to a level of flair and fury that can have only one conclusion ... Friday's Child: When the impetuous Lord Sheringham's marriage proposal is ruthlessly spurned by his lady of choice, he vows to marry the next female he encounters, who happens to be the young, penniless Miss Hero Wantage. Whisking her off to London, Sherry discovers there is no end to the scrapes his young, green bride can get into, as Hero leads him-and the rest of the ton-in a merry dance. Bath Miss (novella): When he agreed to escort the granddaughter of an old friend from Bath to London, Sir Charles Wainfleet did not know what he was getting himself into. The young, vivacious Nan Massingham and her puppy Duke cause trouble at every turn, and his young charge tests Charles' patience almost as much as she makes him smile.".
