Published in large print.

Arabella, the daughter of an impoverished country parson, is sent to London to find a suitable husband. But her beauty and charm will only get her so far while her principles given to her by her parents might be a positive problem in the selfish world of the Upper Ten Thousand. Armed with nothing but a benevolent godmother and the temper she has not quite learned to subdue, she quickly runs afoul of Robert Beaumaris.

He's the most eligible bachelor of the day, a power in the social world and a man used to being hunted for his fabulous wealth - and Arabella overhears him assuming she is just like the others. Imbued with principles she doesn't believe he possesses, she never-the-less impulsively declares herself an heiress persecuted for her great wealth - although she does not want it known in London. Will Mr. Beaumaris survive bringing Arabella into fashion in London for his own amusement in watching his copyists follow his lead? Will Arabella find out there is more to him that his wealth, his social power, his reputation as a Corinthian and his disdain for being hunted by debutantes? The surprises keep coming in this classic Georgette Heyer historical romance.
