What this book is about
The Duke of Salford is looking for a suitable bride. Phoebe Marlow has published an anonymous novel whose villain is unmistakably based on him. When Sylvester discovers the author, they're already stuck together in a snowstorm. Sylvester is a perfect Heyer comedy, with two characters who know each other's worth before they admit it.
