Charity Steane has nothing in the world but hope.

Escaping a miserable life under her tyrannical aunt, she decides to take her chances with her estranged grandfather in London. Now it's just a matter of finding him... And as a 'charity girl', with no dowry and no options, hope can only get her so far.

But with the help of the dashing and kind-hearted Desford and his dearest friend Hetta, it seems like Charity's fortunes might be about to change.

That is, until the surprise appearance of a long-lost relative throws things into chaos, and suddenly the three friends find themselves surrounded by blackmail and scandal.

Will their efforts to do right by each other plunge them all into ruin?

Über den Autor Heyer, Georgette

Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) was an English writer of historical romance and detective fiction. Born in London, Heyer was raised as the eldest of three children by a distinguished British Army officer and a mother who excelled as a cellist and pianist at the Royal College of Music. Encouraged to read from a young age, she began writing stories at 17 to entertain her brother Boris, who suffered from hemophilia. Impressed by her natural talent, Heyer's father sought publication for her work, eventually helping her to release The Black Moth (1921), a detective novel. Heyer then began publishing her stories in various magazines, establishing herself as a promising young voice in English literature. Following her father's death, Heyer became responsible for the care of her brothers and shortly thereafter married mining engineer George Ronald Rougier. In 1926, Heyer publisher her second novel, These Old Shades, a work of historical romance. Over the next several decades, she published consistently and frequently, excelling with romance and detective stories and establishing herself as a bestselling author.

Let New York Times bestselling author Judith McNaught who "is in a class by herself” (USA TODAY) sweep you off your feet and into another time with her sensual, passionate, and spellbinding historical romance classics, featuring her "unique magic” (RT Book Reviews)—now available for the first time on ebook.

In this unforgettable romantic adventure, a teacher of wealthy young ladies finds her life changed forever when she travels from the wilds of America to elegant London. Sheridan Bromleigh is hired to accompany one of her students, heiress Charise Lancaster, to England to meet her fiancé. But when her charge elopes with a stranger, Sheridan wonders how she will ever explain it to Charise's intended, Lord Burleton.

Standing on the pier, Stephen Westmoreland, the Earl of Langford, assumes the young woman coming toward him is Charise Lancaster and reluctantly informs her of his inadvertent role in a fatal accident involving Lord Burleton the night before. And just as the young woman is about to speak, she steps into the path of a cargo net loaded with crates. Sheridan awakens in Westmoreland's mansion with no memory of who she is; the only hint of her past is the puzzling fact that everyone calls her Miss Lancaster. All she truly knows is that she is falling in love with a handsome English earl, and that the life unfolding before her seems full of wondrous possibilities.

London, 1780: Dominic Alastair, der junge Marquis von Vidal, ist ein Lebemann und Trunkenbold. Als er sich nach einer durchzechten Nacht in einem Spielsalon duelliert, ist die Geduld seines Vaters erschöpft: Er schickt den jungen Rabauken nach Paris zu seiner Tante. Damit ihm das Leben im Exil nicht zu langweilig wird, überredet Dominic das jüngste Objekt seiner Begierde, die bildhübsche und sehr naive Sophia Challoner, mit ihm zu kommen. Doch da hat er die Rechnung ohne Sophias resolute Schwester Mary gemacht. Um den Ruf ihrer Schwester zu schützen, nimmt Mary heimlich Sophias Platz in der Kutsche ein. Aber als Dominic die Maskerade durchschaut, besteht er - entgegen Marys Erwartungen - darauf, dass sie ihn tatsächlich nach Paris begleitet. Und so nehmen die amüsanten Ereignisse ihren Lauf ... Georgette Heyers "Eskapaden" (im Original "Devil's Cub") beschert dem Leser ein Wiedersehen mit den Protagonisten aus "Der Page und die Herzogin", denn die Eltern des jungen Marquis sind keine geringeren als der Herzog von Avon und die bezaubernde Léonie.
