Miss Annis Wychwood, at twenty-nine, has long been on the shelf, but this bothers her not at all. She is rich and still beautiful and she enjoys living independently in Bath, except for the tiresome female cousin, who her very proper brother insists must live with her.
When Annis offers sanctuary to the very young runaway heiress Miss Lucilla Carleton, no one at all thinks this is a good idea. With the exception of Miss Carleton's overbearing guardian, Mr. Oliver Carleton, whose reputation as the rudest man in London precedes him. Outrageous as he is, the charming Annis ends up finding him absolutely irresistible.

Review:

""Lady of Quality" is a must for any fan of the Regency era. It's full of all those little details that readers of this type of fiction love. References to balls and routs, references to royalty and great country houses, battles fought with delicate words and even a few passionate kisses- at the proper time, of course." - Blog Critics

"it's a stunning example of her style and voice, perfected over her years of writing. Whether you're a long-time Heyer fan or have never tried one of her novels, I'd definitely suggest you give this one a try. I did and I'm glad. She was, after all, and will always be the Queen of the Regency romance." - Queue My Review

"Georgette's frothy, sparkling, and often funny romances are as light and sugary as a meringue, and just as filling, which is to say that one becomes hungry to read more after having just finished the previous book." - Jane Austen's World

"Georgette Heyer was one of the great protagonists of the historical novel in the post-war golden age of the form. Her regency romances are delightful light reading, and her historical novels such as The Spanish Bride and An Infamous Army demonstrate how fiction and history can work together to make a valuable literary form." - Philippa Gregory
