A brilliant Regency romance full of spirited heroines and dashing heroes, by the queen of the genre.

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton and a hero at Salamanca, returns from the Peninsula War to find his family on the brink of ruin and the broad acres of his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. It is Lord Oversley, father of Adam's first love, who tactfully introduces him to Mr Jonathan Chaleigh, a City man of apparently unlimited wealth with no social ambitions for himself, but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his one and only daughter.

For more than fifty years Georgette Heyer brought romance and adventure to a worldwide readership and Civil Contarct shows how she continues to be loved today.

Reviews for A Civil Contract: Gossip, scandal and an unforgettable Regency romance

Georgette Heyer is unbeatable * India Knight * A writer of great wit and style.... I've read her books to ragged shreds. * Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph * Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to. * Katie Fforde * My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours. * Margaret Drabble * Sparkling * Independent *
