'Every girl, whatever her age, needs her own complete set of Heyer titles. More than romantic they are witty, elegant, stylish and the best comedies of manners since Jane Austen. Required reading for everyone.' - Diane Pearson
Even as a fourteen-year-old orphan, Simon Beauvallet knows his own mind. Later, friend and foe alike will know better than to cross the flaxen-haired mountain of a man whose exploits in battle have earned him knighthood, lands and gilded armour.
If you love Bridgerton, you'll love Georgette Heyer!
'The greatest writer who ever lived' Antonia Fraser

Even as a fourteen-year-old orphan, Simon Beauvallet knows his own mind.
Later, friend and foe alike will know better than to cross the flaxen-haired mountain of a man whose exploits in battle have earned him knighthood, lands and gilded armour.
However, his close circle of friends know him by another name: Simon the Coldheart.
He seems to be a man incapable of love - until in Normandy he meets Lady Margaret, the so-called spitfire of Belremy.
Can she melt Simon's icy demeanour and quench his fiery rage?
