Neither Sir Tristram Shield nor his beautiful young cousin, Eustacie, share the slightest inclination to marry one another.

Yet it is Eustacie's grandfather's dying wish, made on his deathbed.

For there is no one else to look after and provide for Eustacie while his heir, Ludovic, remains a fugitive from justice after allegedly murdering a man in a dispute over a priceless family heirloom.

And so the hunt is on - to find Ludovic and bring him home as well as the Talisman Ring ...

Romance, a murder mystery, a proposed marriage of convenience, and the hunt for a golden ring lie at the heart of one of Georgette Heyer's funniest and fastest-paced romantic comedies to date.

Ratings and reviews

Positively no other Regency romance writer can hold a candle to Ms Heyer. Brilliant vocabulary with many hilarious exchanges along the way and the usual ravelled romance. Sublime!

An hilarious romp, featuring smugglers, housebreakers, a murder, a long-lost cousin, a hidden cellar and lots of Romantic Adventure. This ebook edition is marred by many unfortunate typographical and editing errors.

As easy to read and as predictable as ever. Just a joy for any Georgette Heyer fan... The manners, the language and the gentle humour. Lovely.
