Her eccentric and childless guardian, Mr. Penicuik, is leaving Kitty all of his vast fortune - but with one condition. She must marry one of his five grand-nephews. However, Kitty's clear favourite - the rakish Jack Westruther - doesn't appear at all interested in the arrangement. To make Jack jealous, Kitty impulsively convinces his cousin, the kind-hearted and chivalrous Freddy Standen, to enter into a pretend engagement. But the more time she spends with Freddy, the more Kitty wonders whether Jack is the right choice after all... _________________ Readers love Cotillion . . . ***** 'This is a Heyer novel, so of course I expected to enjoy it, but I hadn't planned on falling totally head over heels in love with it!!' ***** 'If I was stranded on a desert island, this would definitely be one of the novels I would want with me!' **** * 'This is one of Heyer's best books featuring one of her very best characters, that of Freddie Standen.' ***** ' Clever, cute, and so light and carefree it practically bounces.' ***** 'Cotillion quickly moved to the top of my favorite Heyer books.'
