Brought to you by Penguin.

Sir Waldo Hawkridge - wealthy, handsome, eligible, illustrious and known as 'The Nonesuch' for his athletic prowess - believes he is past the age of falling in love. But when he comes North to inspect his unusual inheritance at Broom Hall in the West Riding, his arrival leads to the most entertaining of ramifications....

Georgette Heyer won the hearts of many worldwide enthusiasts with her peerless novels of historical romance - which continues to this day - and in The Nonesuch, all her storytelling skills are in evidence.
