Description
Adam Deveril returns from the Peninsula War a hero, only to find his family on the brink of ruin and his much-loved ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. Lord Oversley, father of Adam's first love, introduces him to Mr Chaleigh, a City man of apparently unlimited wealth, with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his one and only beloved daughter. Though this civil contract may work on paper, saving one from ruin and bringing the other desired social status, there is only one way to find out if it can really work. Georgette Heyer's elegant and witty Regency romance follows Adam as he navigates the complexities of love, family, and social standing in 19th-century England. Readers have praised A Civil Contract for its touching portrayal of relationships and humorous moments, making it a standout among Georgette Heyer's many beloved novels.
