Cotillion<\/a><\/em> (1953) Georgette Heyer<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Cotillion\"<\/a>Kitty Charing has been adopted by the very rich and very unpleasant Matthew Penicuik who has decided that she will inherit his entire fortune–if she marries one of his great-nephews. Odds are on Jack, who is Uncle Matthew’s favorite (and Kitty’s too) but Kitty doesn’t like being told what to do, and for all intents and purposes, being put up for auction, and so she convinces Freddy (who didn’t show up as commanded to ask for Kitty’s hand) to help her come up with a way to get out of her situation.<\/p>\n
