Updated edition of the beloved classic by the Queen of Regency romance herself, Georgette Heyer, featuring a new Foreword by New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James. Arabella's one little while lie has spread through the ton like wildfireâ?¦ Arabella Tallant, modest daughter of a country clergyman, is on her way to her first London Season when her carriage breaks down outside the estate of the wealthy and bored Mr. Robert Beaumaris. Beau assumes she's simply another young lady throwing herself in his path, which goads the impetuous Arabella into pretending she's an heiress. Much to Arabella's dismay, rather than being brutally set-down, as she intended, Beaumaris is deeply amused. He counters by launching her into high society, which Arabella would enjoy very much if it wasn't for the fortune hunters. Arabella's unpredictable and innocent ways force Beaumaris to start helping others, including a stray dog, an unfortunate urchin, and eventually Arabella's reckless young brother. Along the way, Arabella and Beaumaris become more and more intrigued with each other-which neither will admit, of course, until under extreme duress.

Arabella es la hija mayor de un pastor protestante de Yorshire. Cuando su madrina la invita a pasar una temporada a Londres, la casa del pastor es un revuelo de excitación: la oportunidad que se le presenta a la hermana mayor puede decidir el futuro de las menores, de modo que Arabella deberá elegir muy bien a su marido entre los futuros admiradores, que sin duda serán muchos. Pues esta es la oportunidad que puede cambiar su futuro. Asà pues, cuando el apuesto Beaumaris, el soltero más cotizado entre las debutantes de la alta sociedad londinense, queda prendado de su belleza y sus encantos, el sueño de Arabella parece haberse hecho realidad
The schoolroom in the Parsonage at Heythram was not a large apartment, but on a bleak January day, in a household where the consumption of coals was a consideration, this was not felt by its occupants to be a disadvantage.
Arabella was so much pleased by this disclosure that she lost interest in Leaky Peg, and confined herself to the far more agreeable task of convincing Mr Beaumaris that his very obliging sentiments were entirely reciprocated.
