Regency Buck is a novel written by Georgette Heyer. It has two distinctions: it is one of the few novels to combine both genres for which she was noted, the Regency romance and the detective novel; and it is the only one of her Regency stories to feature Beau Brummell as an actual character, rather than as someone mentioned in passing. Judith Taverner is a beautiful young heiress who comes to London to join high society. She spars with her unwilling guardian, Julian, fifth Earl of Worth, whom, having met her earlier in a small town filled with bucks to watch a boxing match, treats her with a familiarity reserved for loose women. The sparring and eventual love affair of Judith and Julian, against the backdrop of Judith's brother, Peregrine's romance and danger, make up this novel.
Heyer's An Infamous Army is a sequel to Regency Buck.
