'Loved it... a racing plot and an irresistible heroine' Joanne Harris

Henrietta has secretly loved Arthur, now Lord Allerton, since childhood.

Arthur has always loved Hetty – as his shy best friend. But after three years away at war, Arthur has returned to find everything changed. Including Hetty.

For Hetty has given herself one Season to become the Diamond she’s always wished to be. And either Arthur will notice her, or she’ll give up her dreams entirely.

But across glittering London ballrooms plagued by scandal and intrigue, what will she risk for love…?

'It's heaven . . . Irwin gets everything right, including the sharp intelligence, the vocab, the period detail, the verbal sparring, the charm and the wit. And, obviously, THE ROMANCE.' India Knight

'An extraordinary achievement. I adored every character, every turn of phrase. I laughed out loud and the ending had me beaming with joy. A triumph!' Beth O'Leary

'Loved it... Henrietta is a cracking character... Great fun!' Harriet Tyce

'Beautifully written, meticulously researched, entertaining and compelling... Above all, it’s utterly joyous and a real antidote to these troublesome times. More please!' Santa Montefiore

'Reads like the real thing, with all the drama and period detail that you would hope for from a book by the original queen of Regency romance' The Times

Henrietta is an absolute balm for the soul. Warm, witty and full of the most delicious historical detail, lightly woven into this heartwarming story about missed chances and romantic scheming at the height of the London season. Georgette Heyer's legacy is in safe hands with Sophie Irwin.
