title: The Reluctant Cavalier (Signet Regency Romance)
author:  Karen Harbaugh 
description: Elizabeth Perry comes from a loving home and wants to please her parents by making a good match.  The Duke of Stratton, a man of impeccable manners and reputation, has shown an interest in her.  Her future is secure, if not quite what she wished for. She attends a masquerade without her parent's knowledge as a one and only fling before an inevitable proposal of marriage.  Parciful Wentworth, the second son of a duke, is the family eccentric, more interested in his gardens than balls or parties.  He is coerced by his sister into attending the masquerade dressed as a Cavalier. These two innocents are thrown in the center of a mad man's plot when Parciful rescues Elizabeth from a lecherous attack.  Parciful's personality changes as he dons the costume and wears his grandfather's ring, hidden in the lining of the coat. When Elizabeth's mother is attacked and again the Cavalier rescues her, the plot thickens and so does the romance.  Parcifal is a hero that makes the heroine and reader quiver down to her toes. The Reluctant Cavalier is a must read for Regency fans and especially for those who aren't--yet! Karen Harbaugh has created characters and a story that ended far too quickly for this reader. Don't read The Reluctant Cavalier too late at night, because book stores will be closed and you won't be able to run out to find more of Karen Harbaugh's books until the next day!Denise Camp  -- <i>Copyright  1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.
