April Lady: A Regency Novel. Illustrated, livre ebook

When the charming and impulsive Nell Cardross marries the reserved Earl of Cardross, she believes herself the happiest of brides. Yet married life proves more complicated than she imagined. Nell’s generous heart and taste for pretty trifles lead her into debts she cannot confess to her husband, while Cardross, deeply in love but wounded by past betrayals, struggles with jealousy and mistrust. Misunderstandings grow in the elegant drawing rooms and fashionable shops of Regency London.
Determined to be a perfect wife, Nell attempts to conceal her financial embarrassments, fearing that honesty will cost her her husband’s affection. Meanwhile, Cardross misreads her secrecy as indifference. Well-meaning friends and meddlesome relatives add to the confusion, and small deceptions threaten to widen the distance between them. Beneath the sparkle of society gatherings lies a tender story of two people learning how to trust.
In April Lady, Georgette Heyer crafts a warm and intimate Regency romance filled with wit and emotional insight. Rich in period detail and enlivened by sparkling dialogue, the novel explores the delicate adjustments of early marriage. With humor and compassion, Heyer shows that love flourishes not through pride or secrecy, but through honesty and understanding.
