Regency Buck

Gossip, scandal and an unforgettable Regency romance

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Beautiful heiress Judith Taverner has her pick of London suitors.

But her luck takes a turn for the worse when her hapless brother, Peregrine, becomes the target of a would-be-assassin.

To Judith's great annoyance, their mysterious guardian - the handsome Earl of Worth - seems far more intent on wooing her than saving her brother, but all is not as it seems...

When the truth is revealed, Judith will finally discover if the Earl is after her money or her heart.

'Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes. . . Utter, immersive escapism' SOPHIE KINSELLA

'Fabulously witty' Stephen Fry

'Once you step into her world, you won't look back'
