The Courting of Philippa

A Regency Romance in the tradition of Georgette Heyer

Shy, retiring Philippa Davenport is delighted to meet a fellow novelist, Henry Ashton - until she learns he is the critic who derided her latest novel as romantic drivel. Several years later, plain duckling Philippa has blossomed into a swan, has two very attractive suitors, and has more important things to think about than the odious Mr. Ashton. But somehow through the misadventures of a British courtroom, a duel in Hyde Park, an elopement, and a stolen necklace, it is Henry Ashton who comes to Philippa’s aid, challenges her mind, and stirs improper thoughts that have nothing to do with literature…
