Mutiny At Almacks

Zebra, 1999. Paperback. Very Good +. Returning home from the Peninsula to find his younger brother at death's door as the result of a duel, war-weary Col. Adam Attenbury, Viscount Stoneforth, sets out quietly to make the acquaintance of the young woman over whom the duel had been fought and ends up literally and figuratively at the feet of Miss Melody Harriman, the lady in question. But Adam's brother has already staked his claim, and honorable brothers don't poach on each other's preserves. Nevertheless, unpredictable fate has other ideas; and when Melody's unconventional triplet cousins decide to "do" something about the situation, things become interesting, indeed. Set against the sparkling gaiety and rigid rules of the Regency ton, this longer Regency features good historical detail, lively humor, and a host of charming characters (the outspoken Bea Lange is especially memorable) that are all appropriately paired up by the end of the story. Lansdowne (Arabella's Diamond) is a seasoned writer of Regency romances" -- Library Journal. Book is in very good condition with minor edgewear. The back cover's top corner has a small crease.
