Updated edition of the beloved classic by the Queen of Regency romance herself, Georgette Heyer, featuring a new Foreword by New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James.

There's no problem Sophy can't solve…

Sophy has traveled the Continent with her diplomat father and knows everyone worth knowing. When she goes to stay with her aunt and cousins in London, she turns her brilliant mind to the benefit of all around her, whether they want her help or not.

It doesn't take long for Sophy to see what's amiss. Her cousin Charles's domineering tendencies are being aggravated by his grimly proper fiancée—that engagement must be scotched, that's for sure. Her cousin Cecelia has her heart set on an entirely unsuitable young man—handsome as can be, and a romantic poet besides, but can't even summon a carriage in the rain. And her aunt obviously needs help sorting out the finances. Sophy knows exactly how to fix it all—but not without first turning everything on its ear.
