Georgette Heyer, spécialiste de la période de la régence anglaise (1811-1820), est l'une des romancières les plus adulées de son temps. À l'âge de quinze ans, elle se met à écrire pour distraire son frère convalescent, et donne ses lettres de noblesse à la romance historique, s'inspirant largement des oeuvres de Jane Austen. Son incomparable talent pour les intrigues amoureuses a fait de Georgette Heyer une plume incontournable du genre.

Leonie Bonnard is being drawn into a twenty-year-old feud.
Justin Alastair, the Duke of Avon, is a reprehensible rake with an axe to grind. Decades ago the Comte de Saint-Vire did something unforgivable and ever since Justin has been lying in wait to settle the score.
When Justin meets Leon, a street urchin with a striking resemblance to his nemesis, he aims to use him as a pawn in his plans for revenge on the Comte. Except Leon is in fact Leonie, a beautiful young ingénue who may just steal Justin's heart.
Can Leonie win the Duke's affection, or will his need for revenge overcome them both?
