Henrietta

The first - and only - authorised Georgette Heyer continuation novel, written by internationally bestselling author Sophie Irwin. Lord Arthur Allerton is but one day home from the Peninsular War when he discovers what dire straits his family are in. Their finances are in turmoil, his younger brother has turned into a trumped-up popinjay, and his sister is dangerously close to becoming the most renowned flirt of the Season. Only Henrietta, Lady Allerton's ward and his childhood confidante, is as he remembered. Shy, a little awkward, and always his favourite person. But Hetty has no desire to be the naïve wallflower he left behind. In fact, she is determined that this is the year he notices her, the way she has him for all these years...
