The Runaway Heiress

London, 1815. Cassandra Hazeldon is on the run.

Under duress to marry a repellent friend of her uncle, Cassandra has made her escape, but now she is very much alone. With luck and quick thinking, she finds a refuge in a grand mansion in Mayfair, and a protector in Lord Irlam, or Hal to his friends. Posing as a friend of Hal's sister, Cassandra is swept up into the social whirl of a Brighton summer. But the attraction between her and Hal is starting to scorch, and when jealousy is added to the mix, things are set to reach boiling point.

'To be immersed in an authentic Regency world with wonderful characters to believe in and love - what a treat!' - Jane Dunn, author of The Marriage Season

'The Runaway Heiress brims with lovable characters in an expertly crafted Regency world, and the steaminess between the utterly adorable leads nearly burns the pages. Emma Orchard truly stands out as one of the top successors to Georgette Heyer.' - Felicity George, author of A Lady's Risk
