The Black Moth
Summary
The debut novel from the creator of the Regency genre of romance fiction Based on a story she had written for her brother and published when she was 19 years old, The Black Moth is set during the Georgian era in the 1750s and follows Lord Jack Carstares, the eldest son of the Earl of Wyncham. Six years ago, Jack took the blame when his younger brother Richard cheated at cards. Jack consequently faced social exile and fled England for the European continent. He has now secretly returned, robbing carriages as a highwayman. One day, he rescues Miss Diana Beauleigh when she is almost abducted by the Duke of Andover. Jack and Diana fall in love, but his troubled past and current profession threaten their happiness. In a contemporary review published in 1921, the Times Literary Supplement deemed the protagonist Jack a “fascinating hero of romance” and added that the novel was “a well-filled story which keeps the reader pleased”.

Frederica
Summary
Chi è Frederica Merriville? È questa la domanda che si pone il marchese di Alverstoke quando una signorina, attraente e padrona di se´, si rivolge a lui perché l'aiuti a lanciare nella buona società di Londra la sua giovane e bellissima sorella Charis, e si prenda cura dei suoi fratelli ancora adolescenti. E perché Alverstoke, trentasettenne annoiato e molto ambito dalle donne, dovrebbe acconsentire alla richiesta di una parente lontana e sconosciuta come Frederica? Per far dispetto alle sue ambiziose sorelle? Perché conquistato dalla bellezza di Charis? O forse l'invulnerabile libertino di Londra ha trovato nell'affascinante, ostinata e affettuosa Frederica un'avversaria degna di lui? Mai come in questo romanzo di Georgette Heyer (da anni introvabile nelle librerie italiane e ora riproposto da astoria in una nuova traduzione) la società, l'atmosfera e il particolare linguaggio dell'Inghilterra al tempo della Reggenza sono raffigurati in maniera fedele, ma al contempo vivace e sorprendente.

Cotillion
Summary
Young Kitty Charing stands to inherit a vast fortune from her irascible great-uncle Matthew - provided she marries one of her cousins. Kitty is not wholly adverse to the plan, if the right nephew proposes. Unfortunately, Kitty has set her heart on Jack Westruther, a confirmed rake, who seems to have no inclination to marry her anytime soon. In an effort to make Jack jealous, and to see a little more of the world than her isolated life on her great-uncle's estate has afforded her, Kitty devises a plan. She convinces yet another of her cousins, the honorable Freddy Standen, to pretend to be engaged to her. Her plan would bring her to London on a visit to Freddy's family and (hopefully) render the elusive Mr. Westruther madly jealous. Thus begins Cotillion, arguably the funniest, most charming of Georgette Heyer's many delightful Regency romances. Cotillion is here presented in Naxos AudioBooks style, with classical music enhancing the production. This is the first of two Heyer titles planned for 2009. Clare Wille was widely praised for her reading of Cranford.
