✦ Synopsis

Review

Filled with some very unexpected surprises and quirky characters, I kept a smile on my face several minutes after I finished the novel. False Colours is not only a book written about the romance between Kit and Cressy, but also about relationships, duty and the power of love that sends a strong, warm message throughout the book. (Shellie Queue My Review )

Heyer's eye for detail, character development, and talent for moving a story along is masterful... For sheer fun and entertainment, I highly recommend this novel and give it my highest rating of three regency fans. (Vic Sandborn Jane Austen Today )

Product Description

''Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen.''
-Publishers Weekly

A missing twin
Something is very wrong, and the Honourable Christopher ''Kit'' Fancot can sense it. Kit returns to London on leave from the diplomatic service to find that his twin brother Evelyn has disappeared and his extravagant mother's debts have mounted alarmingly.

A quick-minded heiress
The Fancot family's fortunes are riding on Evelyn's marriage to the self-possessed Cressy Stavely, and her formidable grandmother's approval of the match. If Evelyn fails to meet the Dowager Lady Stavely in a few days as planned, the betrothal could be off.

A fortune in the balance
When the incorrigible Lady Fancot persuades her son to impersonate his twin (just for one night, she promises) the masquerade sets off a tangled sequence of events that engage Kit's heart far more deeply than he'd ever anticipated with his brother's fianc?e-who might know much more about what's going on than she cares to reveal...

''A writer of great wit and style... I've read her books to ragged shreds.''
-Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph
