'Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's' Joanne Harris

'Utter, immersive escapism' Sophie Kinsella

Diana Beauleigh is perfectly capable of choosing her own husband. The Duke of Andover, however, regards her refusal as merely the opening move in a game he intends to win.

All diamonds, dangerous charm and supreme self-assurance, the Duke is impossible to ignore – and wiser to avoid. But when his attentions take a sinister turn, Diana is rescued by a masked highwayman whose manners are far too fine for the road.

Wounded and unwilling to explain himself, her mysterious rescuer is soon under Diana’s roof – and rather too much in her thoughts.

Yet which is the greater danger: the Duke’s determination to possess her, or losing her heart to a man who remains a mystery?
