Sylvester or the Wicked Uncle by Georgette Heyer



Nothing could have induced impulsive outspoken Phoebe Marlow to marry handsome, elegant Svlvester Rayne, Duke of Salford, the

But Svlvester underestimated his opponent: Phoebe secretly wrote a novel that not only shocked London, but presented her unwelcome fiance, thinly disguised, as a villain and a knave.

But was it too late, now that she was but a heartbeat away from betraying both him and herself?

The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer

As the mainstay of her hilariously bedeviled family, as a horsewoman, social leader and. above all, as an ingenious match-maker, the Grand Sophy was a smashing success.
