<p>"Heyer was one of the great protagonists of the historical novel in the post-war golden age..." ―Philippa Gregory</p><p><strong>A reader favorite from the Queen of Regency Romance, <em>Frederica</em> is a charming story of a woman seeking security for her family, but finding love where and when she least expected it.</strong></p><p>Determined to secure a brilliant marriage for her beautiful sister, Frederica seeks out their distant cousin the Marquis of Alverstoke. Lovely, competent, and refreshingly straightforward, Frederica makes such a strong impression that to his own amazement, the Marquis agrees to help launch them all into society.</p><p> Normally wary of his family, which includes two overbearing sisters and innumerable favor-seekers, Lord Alverstoke does his best to keep his distance.
