Georgette Heyer's Remarkable First Novel

Diana Beauleigh is caught between two men.

Seven long years ago, Jack Carstares, the Earl of Wyncham, sacrificed his honour for his brother and has been in exile ever since.

Returning to England, Jack pretends to be a gentleman named Sir Anthony Ferndale but makes his living in a most ungentlemanly fashion, as a highwayman and a gambler.

When Jack encounters his nemesis, the Duke of Andover, in the midst of kidnapping Diana Beauleigh, the two old enemies come to blows.

Can Jack save the beautiful Diana from rakes, kidnap and ruin?

Not feeling the narration.

In my opinion, there was only one problem with this title—the narration. I tried hard to listen but the narration was quite off-putting. I spent so much time wincing at some of the voices attempted that I could hardly follow the story (sigh)…

The narration was more than i could stand

Narration and wife’s simpering was too much. I don’t normally quit books in the middle but had to quit. Life is too short.
