"If Austen was the first queen of the contemporary romance . . . Heyer is the first of the historical romance."-From the foreword by Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author of Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake
He's unruly. Unrefined. Unfashionable. But is that what she loves about him?
Previously published as Powder and Patch, this edition features the restored final chapter.
Cleone Charteris never had to look far to find an eligible bachelor. Her neighbor and best friend since childhood has made no secret of his intentions to marry her. Now that he's a full-grown man, there's only one small problem: He disdains art, fashion, and etiquette-all the things that Cleone cherishes most. If only it were possible to improve a man. . . .
Philip Jettan doesn't think there's anything wrong with a man preferring manly things, but he'll do whatever it takes to win Cleone's heart. So Philip travels to Paris, where, under the tutelage of the Marquis de Château-Banvau, he learns to duel, to write poetry, to find the perfect accessory for any outfit. But when the country bumpkin returns home a stylish dandy, he faces an unexpected challenge: convincing Cleone that he's still the same boy who's always loved her.
The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance:
AMERICAN INDIAN STORIES • THE AWAKENING • THE HEADS OF CERBERUS • LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET • PASSING • THE TRANSFORMATION OF PHILIP JETTAN • VILLETTE

Autoren-Porträt von Georgette Heyer
Georgette Heyer (1902-74) is considered the founder of historical romance. Heyer's first novel, The Black Moth, was published when she was nineteen, and she became a bestselling novelist at twenty-four with the publication of These Old Shades. Inspired by Jane Austen, she published Regency Buck in 1935, creating the Regency romance subgenre in the process. Despite her popularity, Heyer never gave an interview or made a public appearance (though she once accepted an invitation to lunch with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace). Over the course of her career, Heyer wrote more than fifty books.
