Tropes: Alpha hero, Independent/strong-willed heroine, enemies to lovers, heiress, guardian/ward
+Book 3 of Heyer's Alistair-Audley tetralogy
+Late September 1811 - 26 June 1812 (Judith's 21st birthday)
+Gratham, London, Belvoir Castle/Grantham, Worth Estate/Hampshire, Brighton
+H/Julian St John Audley, Fifth Earl of Worth (approx 34) and h/Judith Taverner (20)
+Secondary couple: Peregrine (Perry) Taverner (19) and Harriet Fairford (17)
+This is a clean, closed door romance, written in 1935
+One of my favorite Heyers; the sparring between Lord Worth and Judith is top-notch
+Lord Worth is described as quite tall, "very handsome", with black hair and grey eyes. He is assumed by Judith to be a "dandy" due to this exquisite fashion.
+Judith is "above average" in height, blonde, with deep blue eyes, a "remarkably handsome girl"
+Perry bears a strong resemblance to his sister
+This romance is clean but there is a decided daddy kink overtone to the interplay between Julian and Judith. To the fact that they both agree that he needs to "use" her like her father would punish her as an unruly daughter and that she needs to be spanked.
