Synopsis

Set in the dazzling world of Regency London, "Regency Buck" introduces the spirited heiress Judith Taverner and her naive younger brother, Peregrine. Fresh from the country, they quickly find themselves embroiled in the capital's social whirl and dangers. Their guardian, the enigmatic and famously handsome Earl of Worth, is a figure of both fascination and frustration for Judith. When Peregrine becomes the target of an assassination attempt, Judith expects the Earl to protect him, but Worth seems more preoccupied with charming her than solving the mystery. As Judith navigates the treacherous waters of fashionable society, dealing with ambitious suitors and lurking peril, she must discern the true intentions of the Earl. Is he a genuine suitor, a cunning fortune-hunter, or is there a deeper, more complicated game at play? Heyer masterfully blends sparkling wit, intricate plotting, and captivating romance in this quintessential Regency tale.
