What this book is about
Kitty Charing needs to produce a fiancé to satisfy her great-uncle's will. When the eligible cousin doesn't step forward, the charming but penniless Freddy Standen does—as a pretense. Cotillion is widely considered Heyer's masterpiece: a comedy of manners with a heroine who grows up and a hero who turns out to be exactly what she needs.
