Beauvallet / Georgette Heyer 243 p.

Sir Nicholas Beauvallet is the consummate romantic hero in this character-driven, witty, dramatic historical romance. He finds no adventure beyond him: from capturing a Spanish galleon to posing as a Frenchman in the Spanish court to kidnapping Dominica de Rada y Vylva, his intended, from under the nose of her Spanish guardian. His sideman part valet and part henchman entertains the reader with his side of the story. Those readers that enjoy the developing relationship between the main characters may also enjoy Mary Balogh.
