Georgette Heyer

The first novel by the #1 CBA bestselling author is available once again. On his 38th birthday, lonely Scott Williams fervently wishes for a wife and family, but he never expects to become so utterly captivated by the beautiful, yet troubled Jennifer St. James. Reissue. Postponed from 9/04

The Toll-gate

A delightful and dashingly romantic historical novel from the queen of the Regency romance. Captain John Staple's exploits in the Peninsula had earned him the sobriquet 'Crazy' Jack amongst his fellows in the Dragoon Guards. Now home from Waterloo, life in peacetime is rather dull for the boisterous, adventure-loving Captain. But when he finds himself lost and benighted at an unmanned toll-house in the Pennines, his soldiering days suddenly pale away besides an adventure - and romance - of a lifetime. Yet again Georgette Heyer shows the qualities that made her one of the most successful and best-loved romantic novelists of her age, and why her popularity endures to this day.
