BOOK DESCRIPTION
Following the death of her mother, Corinna Ormesby has lived a quiet life in the countryside with her cantankerous Cousin Agnes. Her father's identity has been a tantalizing mystery, but now at nineteen Corinna knows that finding him may be her only way to avoid marriage to the odious Mr. Beech.
Deciding to head to London, Corinna dons a male disguise. Travelling alone as a young woman risks scandal and danger, but when, masquerading as a youth, she is befriended by three dashing blades, handsome and capable Alick Wolfe, dandy Ferdinand Shilton and the incorrigible Lord Purfoy, Corinna now has access to the male-only world of Regency England. And when she meets Alick's turbulent brother Darius, a betrayal of trust leads to deadly combat which only one of the brothers may survive.
From gambling in gentleman's clubs to meeting the courtesans of Covent Garden, Corinna's country naivety soon falls away. But when she finds her father at last, learns the truth about her parentage and discovers her fortunes transformed, she must quickly decide how to reveal her true identity, while hoping that one young man in particular can see her for the beauty and Lady she really is.
A must read for Georgette Heyer, Jane Austen, and historical romance fans.
A spunky, adventurous heroine on a quest in London to find her estranged father.
An adorable dog and an endearing horse!
Three dashing blades who will make you laugh, and swoon.
A bestselling & highly rated new release.
PRAISE FOR AN UNSUITABLE HEIRESS

• 5 STARS "…a fun-filled romp through Regency England, with a smattering of romance, a sense of adventure and a wonderful heroine at its core. What's not to like?!"— Jo, Jaffa Reads Too
Review
From the desk of Gwendalyn Anderson
This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
This is a non spoiler review, because you as reader need to read this book. Also, I feel sometimes I have in the past gave away to much of the plot line. This has diminished the pleasure for would be readers.
An Unsuitable Heiress by Jane Dunn delights readers once again with a Regency period historical fiction. Set right after The Battle of Waterloo, 1815, the book follows a resilient heroine, illegitimate Corinna Ormesby. Corinna lost touch with her father after the death of her mother. When her cousin promotes a monotonous marriage
she takes things into her own hands. She cleverly disguise herself in a young gentleman's clothing, and heads to London to seek her father out. In route she meets three dashing men, who take her under their wing and show her all the delights and sounds that are usually only reserved for wealthy men of London.
Jane Dunn delivers a vividly descriptive, interesting, and well-written read here with characters and a setting that totally captivated and intrigued me. Readers be captivated by the slow burn romance Regency romp, with nods to Georgette Heyer.
I feel in love with characters and the descriptive authentic language, that really add so much to the storyline.
Bravo to Jane Dun, for writing a stunning book, that was a joy to read. I loved every minute I spent within the pages of this lovely book.
