Not expecting her visit, the old gentleman is not in London but is away in the country.</p> <p><strong>A scandal broth in the making</strong></p> <p>When Viscount Desford encounters a lovely waif searching for her grandfather, he feels honor bound to assist her; but dashing about the countryside together, the Viscount must prevent his exasperating charge from bringing him ruin upon herself...and him.</p> <p><strong>In the end, his best idea is to bring Charity to his lifelong best friend, Henrietta, which is when the fun and surprises really begin...</strong></p> <p><strong>Praise for Georgette Heyer:</strong><br /> "It all begins when a chivalrous and rich young gallant takes pity on a pathetic poor relation in a neighboring family. Before long he is so entangled in his efforts to help her that every step he takes leads to some hilarious new confusion. The romantic conclusions are not what you may expect, but that adds to the fun."—Publishers Weekly<br /> "Georgette Heyer is unbeatable."—Sunday Telegraph<br /> "My favourite historical novelist—stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours."—Margaret Drabble</p>. Media Type: eBook.
