Hero is barely 16 at the beginning of the book, which I think is the youngest heroine of any Heyer book I’ve read, and she definitely feels young. Except in Friday’s Child, the gentleman in question is in a bad mood because his childhood friend just turned down his proposal, so he decides to elope with the young waif he has acquired. It’s a similar set up of sorts, a young country gentleman in an impulsive mood stumbles across the poor cousin of a local family, and offers her shelter. This is the Heyer that I’ve been trying to find for ages, and every time I end up picking up Charity Girl instead and get frustrated. The chaos that follows will push friendships – and hearts – to breaking point. When the dashing Lord Sheringham proposes out of the blue, Hero is overjoyed – she’ll escape life as a governess and, once they wed, he can finally claim his inheritance.īut as Hero attempts to social climb in glamorous London society, Sherry is concerned that her naivety will ruin them both and takes drastic action. Hero Wantage is desperate to change her fate. See Also: Cotillion Charity Girl Regency Buck Frederica These Old Shades Devil’s Cub
