The exciting new Georgette Heyer novel, written by Sunday Times bestselling author Sophie Irwin.

Henrietta has secretly loved Arthur, Lord Allerton, since childhood. He is the only man who is interested in her rather than her fortune – just not in the way that she wants.

After three years away at war, Arthur has returned to London to find everything changed. His finances are ruined, his family in chaos. And sweet, shy Hetty is … different.

For Hetty has set herself a challenge: she has one summer to become the charming, dashing Diamond she’s always wished to be. And either Arthur will notice her, or she’ll give up her dreams entirely.

But in a glittering Season plagued by scandal and intrigue, is there still room for love . . . ?

Critic Reviews

Henrietta is an absolute balm for the soul. Warm, witty and full of the most delicious historical detail, lightly woven into this heartwarming story about missed chances and romantic scheming at the height of the London season. Georgette Heyer's legacy is in safe hands with Sophie Irwin. (Sarra Manning)
This is a complete joy of a book. Every page sparkles with Georgette Heyer’s wit, warmth and tenderness, and Sophie’s brilliant voice shines too, making for an irresistible love story . . . It has brought me so much happiness, and I know it’s a book I’ll reread often. (Cressida McLaughlin)
I absolutely devoured this … All the magic of an original Georgette Heyer with added Sophie Irwin wit and charm. (Jessica Bull)
An extraordinary achievement. I adored every character, every turn of phrase. I laughed out loud and the ending had me beaming with joy. A triumph! (Beth O'Leary)
Oh how I adored it. A wonderful, warm, witty Regency romance. Sophie has done an amazing job of bringing Hetty to life and giving her her happy ending. An absorbing, finely paced and plotted read. Better than a masked ball. Loved it. (Cesca Major)
I can think of no one better qualified than (the Grand?!) Sophie Irwin to take on the mantle of this treasured legacy. Henrietta is as sharp and witty as Venetia or Frederica or any of Georgette Heyer's beloved romances, with all their delightful hallmarks. Capital! (Beth Morrey)
I completely adored this novel – Sophie is such a funny, clever writer and she tells this story with real style and sincerity. I know it will delight Heyer devotees and new readers alike. (Niamh Hargan)
Henrietta is a beautifully written, meticulously researched, entertaining and compelling read. I was absorbed from the very first line – that is the mark of a natural and gifted storyteller! Above all, it’s utterly joyous and a real antidote to these troublesome times. More please! (Santa Montefiore)
'A brilliant homage as well as a marvellous romp . . . A charming delight.' (Fiona Davis)
'A charming Regency Romance ... the story is delightful' (Jennifer Kloester, Patroness of the International Georgette Heyer Society)
