Enjoyable Regency

Our hero, Hugo, Marquis of Mandersely, wins 'spirited young Lucia' from her wicked stepfather at a game of cards, and saves her from a fate worse than death at the hands of evil Sir Gideon. Of course, our hero doesn't compromise Lucia - he takes her to his great aunt, who takes her under her wing. Romance ensues, along with thwarting Sir Gideon's efforts to kill Hugo and ruin Lucia. Love triumps, as does Hugo. Lucia can be a bit of a watering pot, but Hugo knows his role. Some interesting, and somewhat amusing secondary characters.
