Lady of Quality is the final Regency romance written by Georgette Heyer. Published in the UK by The Bodley Head in 1972, and by E. P. Dutton in the U. S., it was the last of her novels to be published during her lifetime.[1]
The story describes the romantic relationship between the wealthy Annis Wychwood, who has grown bored with her independent lifestyle, and Oliver Carleton, a libertine who cares little for society's opinion of him. The two have deliberately avoided marriage for many years and are slow to acknowledge the growth of their feelings for each other.
