“I collect there is something Unsavory in my background,†Delia said, unable to resist a somewhat dramatic tone. “Perhaps my parents were gypsies, or died in prison. Maybe they were even hanged!â€
“How wonderful!†Kitty exclaimed. “Maybe they were pirates!â€
Not pirates or gypsies, but definitely not respectable. And so Delia’s story begins, as this foster child discovers her parentage and negotiates her way through a series of adventures kicked off by an unexpected inheritance. Here is another bouncing regency romance in the style of Georgette Heyer from the author of An Unmarried Lady.
