This Georgian-era romance “with elopements, rescues, duels, and cards . . . [is] a picturesque and engaging story” from the acclaimed master of the genre (The Spectator). When Prudence and Robin Tremaine find themselves on the wrong side of the Jacobite rebellion, the siblings follow their infamous father’s cunning footsteps and switch identities, escaping to London with Prudence posing as a dashing gentleman and Robin as a lovely young woman. They are so skillful, in fact, that they are warmly embraced, with the disguised Prudence finding herself in an alliance with the handsome Sir Anthony Fanshawe and the concealed Robin performing a rescue that wins him the admiration of the beautiful Letitia Grayson. But when Prudence finds herself falling for Sir Anthony, and Robin struggles to resist the tender charms of Letitia, they wonder if they’ll ever be able to safely let go of their masquerade to answer the call of love. Praise for the writing of Georgette Heyer: “If you haven’t read her yet, I envy you.” —Harriet Evans “My favourite historical novelist.” —Margaret Drabble “Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen.” —Publishers Weekly “A writer of great wit and style.” —The Daily Telegraph

Five scorching-hot, suspense-filled, historical romances from “a most inventive storyteller” where deceit hides forbidden love—until the disguises come off (RT Book Reviews). In Caprice, a young widow decides on a lark to disguise herself as the mysterious Princess Soltana El Djemal—only to catch the heart of a dashing Lord who vows to discover her true identity. In Mischief, a bold young woman falls for an infamous spy while escaping Persia in 1808, but it’s when she sees him again in England that the real adventure begins. In Beguiled, a mysterious man and a desperate heiress set out to con the upper crust of nineteenth century New York—but the games they’re playing against each other are far more dangerous. In Emerald and Sapphire, a French nobleman’s secret double life as a thief is revealed—by the only woman capable of stealing his heart. And in The Gamble, a viscount masquerades as a notorious highwayman, only to discover that a woman’s heart is the hardest jewel to steal. “Laura Parker’s innovativeness and beautiful style of writing keep her a head above the rest.” —Affaire de Coeur

The most important female English novelist of the 1720s, Eliza Haywood is famous for writing scandalous fiction about London society. Fast-moving, controversial, and sometimes disturbing, Haywood’s short novels The Masqueraders and The Surprize are valuable sources for the study of eighteenth-century gender and identity, the social history of masquerade, the dangers of courtship and seduction, and conceptions of elite and popular cultures. Despite their common theme of masquerade and seduction, the two short novels are a study in contrasts. The Masqueraders features the whirl of London life, with a libertine anti-hero and his serial seductions of women who believe that they can manipulate the social conventions that are expected to limit them. The Surprize, on the other hand, is an uncharacteristically sentimental story in which a similarly salacious plot ends in rewards for the good and virtuous. Well suited to the teaching of these two texts, this volume contains annotated scholarly editions of both novels, an extensive introduction, and useful appendices that discuss the masquerade’s role in eighteenth-century debates on gender, morality, and identity.

Seth Dickinson's epic fantasy series which began with the “literally breathtaking” (NPR) The Traitor Baru Cormorant, returns with the third book, The Tyrant Baru Cormorant. The hunt is over. After fifteen years of lies and sacrifice, Baru Cormorant has the power to destroy the Imperial Republic of Falcrest that she pretends to serve. The secret society called the Cancrioth is real, and Baru is among them. But the Cancrioth's weapon cannot distinguish the guilty from the innocent. If it escapes quarantine, the ancient hemorrhagic plague called the Kettling will kill hundreds of millions...not just in Falcrest, but all across the world. History will end in a black bloodstain. Is that justice? Is this really what Tain Hu hoped for when she sacrificed herself? Baru's enemies close in from all sides. Baru's own mind teeters on the edge of madness or shattering revelation. Now she must choose between genocidal revenge and a far more difficult path—a conspiracy of judges, kings, spies and immortals, puppeteering the world's riches and two great wars in a gambit for the ultimate prize. If Baru had absolute power over the Imperial Republic, she could force Falcrest to abandon its colonies and make right its crimes.
