Book excerpt: If you love Bridgerton, you'll love Georgette Heyer! 'The greatest writer who ever lived' ANTONIA FRASER 'A rollicking good read that will be of particular joy to Bridgerton viewers ... the permanent glister of scandal [...] ties the whole thing together' INDEPENDENT 'My generation's Julia Quinn' ADJOA ANDOH, star of Bridgerton _________________ When Kit Fancot returns on leave from the diplomatic service, he expects to find his loving family at home waiting for him. Instead, he is startled to find his alluring yet extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin. Even more shocking, he is informed that his twin brother Evelyn has vanished without a trace. It's not long before Kit realises the true extent of his family's tangled affairs; it's left to him to set things right. But in the face of Evelyn's continued absence, Kit's ingenuity is stretched to the limit . . . _________________ 'One of my perennial comfort authors.
