When Sir Anthony Malory's young daughter is abducted from London's Hyde Park, her kidnapper's ransom note mistakenly falls into the hands of a Malory relative, the sea captain Boyd Anderson. Searching for the girl with Anthony, Boyd fully intends to make the foolhardy villain pay. But he hardly expects to find exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship, at the center of the plot! Innocent Katey, who fled her dull Connecticut town in search of romance and adventure, is about to experience more excitement than she ever dreamed of now that she has caught the attentions of Boyd Anderson. For a multitude of surprises await Katey, from the startling truth about her own family, to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him-but who can't resist the seductive, impassioned love he offers.

Between 1788 and 1820, under the reckless influence of the fat, promiscuous Prince Regent, the English aristocracy set a standard of elegance and vulgarity that has not been surpassed. Venetia Murray chronicles the daily life of that glittering circle of rakes and dandies, duchesses and courtesans, pugilists and patrons, whose scandalous conduct will entertain readers of social history and Regency romances alike, plus the new generation of Jane Austen addicts. Against a backdrop of artistic triumphs and industrial progress, working-class riots and the twenty-year war with France, Venetia Murray's sparking narrative is lavishly illustrated through rare contemporary cartoons, prints, diaries, and caricatures--some newly discovered and never before reproduced. "An Elegant Madness" is a book of airy delights and surprising depths that reveals a fabled age in all of its varied splendor. xvii, 316 p.28 b/w plates bibliography, index Bookplate on ffep else Near Fine Book
