When love takes command... hearts must obey! Lady Constantia Roworth has no fortune and doesn't give a fig about rank. But her father, the Earl of Westwood, expects his offspring to make matches that benefit their station - or enrich the family coffers. Alas, Captain Frank Ingram has neither blue blood or money - only dashing good looks. The wounded soldier has accepted a kind invitation to recover at the Westwood estate... and it takes only the meeting of eyes, the touch of hands and the mingling of sighs before the handsome war hero and Lady Connie begin to lose their hearts!

When Felix Roworth comes home from the wars, he has made his fortune and suddenly, his two sisters who have been rusticating genteelly, have the promise of seasons and husband-hunting. Unfortunately, the elder, Constantia, doesn't want any of it. She is, however, delighted that he has brought two friends to visit - Frank Ingram is a fellow officer, gravely wounded and is still slowly recovering, his twin sister Fanny has followed the drum all of her life. Felix's parents, Lord and Lady Westwood, disapprove, since the two are commoners, but Constantia and her younger sister Vickie are immediately taken with their new acquaintances, and it turns into a friendship which will open up lots of new opportunities for the two sisters.
Dunn's regency novels have a strong flavour of Georgette Heyer's, sharing all their wit and liveliness. In fact, next to Heyer, she is my favourite regency writer. Her books are slightly more untrammelled than Heyer's - she's less careful about minor anachronisms, for instance, but somehow one can forgive any niggles, because they are such fun. Especially, they have the same delicious romanticism about them and, indeed, very much the same formula. I have yet to find one that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. ( )
