?There's no problem Sophy can't solve...
Sophy has traveled the Continent with her diplomat father and knows everyone worth knowing. When she goes to stay with her aunt and cousins in London, she turns her brilliant mind to the benefit of all around her, whether they want her help or not.
It doesn't take long for Sophy to see what's amiss. Her cousin Charles's domineering tendencies are being aggravated by his grimly proper fiancée--that engagement must be scotched, that's for sure. Her cousin Cecelia has her heart set on an entirely unsuitable young man--handsome as can be, and a romantic poet besides, but can't even summon a carriage in the rain. And her aunt obviously needs help sorting out the finances. Sophy knows exactly how to fix it all--but not without first turning everything on its ear.

About the Author
Georgette Heyer's novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers for decades. English Heritage has awarded Georgette Heyer one of their prestigious Blue Plaques, designating her Wimbledon home as the residence of an important figure in British history. She was born in Wimbledon in August 1902. She wrote her first novel, The Black Moth, at the age of seventeen to amuse her convalescent brother; it was published in 1921 and became an instant success.
Heyer published 56 books over the next 53 years, until her death from lung cancer in 1974. Her last book, My Lord John, was published posthumously in 1975. A very private woman, she rarely reached out to the public to discuss her works or personal life. Her work included Regency romances, mysteries and historical fiction. Known as the Queen of Regency romance, Heyer was legendary for her research, historical accuracy and her extraordinary plots and characterizations. She was married to George Ronald Rougier, a barrister, and they had one son, Richard.
