Beschreibung

"Ich habe an all meinen Verehrern nicht das geringste auszusetzen. Nur regt sich in mir leider nicht der leiseste Wunsch, einen von ihnen zu heiraten." Die schöne Annis führt ein geselliges Leben mit Bällen, Ausflügen und Teeparties. Sie ist noch nicht dreißig, kann sich aber dank ihres Vermögens einen angenehmen Lebensstil erlauben. Auch anderen hilft sie gern, so zum Beispiel der jungen Lucilla, die gerade ihrer Tante entwischt ist und neben ihrer umgestürzten Kutsche an der Straße nach Bath steht. Diesmal aber scheint Annis mit ihrer Nächstenliebe zu weit gegangen zu sein. Der arrogante Onkel des jungen Mädchens macht einen schrecklichen Skandal. Independent and spirited, Miss Annis Wychwood gives little thought to finding herself a suitable husband, thus dashing the dreams of many hopeful suitors. When she becomes embroiled in the affairs of the runaway heiress Lucilla, though, she encounters the beautiful fugitive's guardian - as rakish and uncivil a rogue she has ever met. Although chafing a bit at the restrictions of Regency society in Bath, Annis does have to admit that Oliver Carleton, at least, is never boring.

Showing all the skills that won her a devoted worldwide readership, Georgette Heyer's Lady of Quality is a dashing romance by the undisputed queen of the romantic novel.

Annis Wychwood delights in her independence.

Beautiful, rich and far too busy for love, she has turned down the advances of many a hopeful suitor.

But when she becomes entangled in the affairs of a runaway heiress, she encounters the girl's guardian, the notorious Oliver Carleton.

While Oliver may be a reckless and uncivil rogue, Annis can't help but be drawn towards his wild ways . . .
