______________

Tragically left an orphan after her father's death, Kate Malvern is taken under the wing of her forbidding aunt Minerva and brought to the grand house of Staplewood, where Minerva rules the roost.

Her uncle lives in one wing, while her handsome, moody cousin occupies another; guests are few and far between, and even family dinners are rigidly formal.

But the sudden arrival of Cousin Philip throws Minerva's control over the household into doubt, and soon Kate begins to suspect the shocking reason for Minerva's generosity.

She has no-one to confide in but Cousin Philip who - for reasons unknown - seems to have taken an unaccountable dislike to her...


A rich and classic Regency Romance, Cousin Kate is replete with the sparkling humour, memorable characters and intricate plots that will delight Heyer fans the world over.
