Arabella: A Regency Novel. Illustrated, livre ebook

When beautiful but penniless Arabella Tallant accompanies her mother to London in hopes of securing a suitable marriage, she knows her prospects are modest at best. The daughter of a country clergyman with many siblings and little fortune, Arabella possesses charm and spirit—but no dowry to attract the attention of the fashionable elite. A chance encounter with the wealthy and cynical Mr. Robert Beaumaris leads her, in a moment of reckless honesty, to claim that she is a great heiress. What begins as a harmless fabrication soon sweeps her into the very heart of London society.
As her supposed fortune draws suitors, fortune-hunters, and opportunists, Arabella must navigate the glittering but treacherous world of Almack’s, elegant drawing rooms, and whispered gossip. Meanwhile, Mr. Beaumaris—amused and intrigued by her innocence and compassion—watches events unfold with growing admiration. Beneath the comedy of mistaken impressions lies a deeper story of generosity, integrity, and the courage to remain true to oneself in a society obsessed with wealth and status.
In Arabella, Georgette Heyer delivers one of her most beloved Regency romances. Sparkling dialogue, vivid period detail, and irresistible wit combine in a delightful tale of deception, social ambition, and unexpected love, where sincerity ultimately proves more valuable than riches.
