Cousin Kate
Enjoy one of only two Heyer Gothic Regency romances.
“Miss Heyer serves up a very different sort of tale in the same period setting, nothing less than a full-fledged Gothic. And a very expert job she does of it, too, complete with a remote and forbidding country house, screams in the night, dark hints of something best left unmentioned
nicely leavened with wit, romance, and wonderful period slang.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A surprising invitation
Kate Malvern is rescued from penury by her aunt Minerva, who brings her to stay at Staplewood. But the household is strange and strainedKate’s uncle lives in his own private wing, and her handsome, moody cousin Torquil lives in another.
A dark family secret
As bizarre events unfold and Kate begins to question the reasons for her aunt’s unexpected generosity, she has no one to confide in but her cousin Philip. Sympathetic though he may appear, will he tell her what she most needs to know… before it’s too late?
What readers say:
“Flawless gothic romance.”
“A dark and different Regency romance.”
“Cousin Kate remains a classic Heyer study of character and Regency attitudes, and boasts a wonderfully warm and generous heroine who it is impossible to dislike and one of Heyer’s most pleasant and agreeable heroes.”
“A superior Georgette Heyer work; a bit darker and more serious than most of her other books, but as always there is the fast wit and a happy ending.”
