Publisher Description

  • 2022 Maggie Award of Excellence Finalist

Changing into a lion isn't all fur and games.

 

A Regency lord battles his inner beast while helping an innocent miss, never dreaming how he'll come to care for the chit—nor how being near his world will deliver danger right to her doorstep.

 

~~~If Darcy had been a shape-shifting lion who thought about frisking—a lot...~~~

 

Lady Francine Montfort may have led a sheltered life till her parents' untimely demise but that doesn't mean she's ignorant. Neither is she blind to the conniving ways of her persistent aunt, who's determined to marry Francine off for her own selfish gain. Forced to drastic measures to avoid the wretched woman's scheming, Francine concocts her own masterful plan.

 

She might need to beg a favor from Lord Blakely—the sinfully alluring marquis who inspires all manner of illicit thoughts—but she's determined to help him as well. To ease those mysterious, haunting secrets that torment him so…

 

When Lady Francine, the epitome of innocence, requests he pose as her betrothed, Blakely knows he should handily refuse. He's baffled when unfamiliar, protective urges make themselves known, tempting him to agree while danger stalks ever closer.

 

Alas, it's fast approaching the season when Blakely loses all control. Either Francine satisfies his sexual appetites or he'll be forced to reveal his beastly side. And that will never do. Not now that he's come to care for the intrepid miss.

 

Standalone ~ HEA ~ 81,000-word Novel ~ Book 1 - Roaring Rogues Regency Shifters

 

Note: This love story between two people contains some profanity and a lot of sizzle, including one partial ménage scene that gets rather…growly.

 

A much shorter version of Ensnared by Innocence was previously published; this second edition is three times as long and freshly rewritten.

“This book has it all. ✔️ Regency Romance. With Regency England slang. I'm a sucker for it ✔️ Enemies to lovers ✔️ Cursed Shifters ✔️ Time traveler ✔️ Steamy with a near miss menage (just go with it) ✔️ Sexy, dark, secretive, brooding hero ✔️ Fiesty, intelligent, independent heroine Lady Francine Montfort has a problem. One that she insists the Marquis of Blakely, Lord Erasmus Hammond, can fix. Pretend to be her fiance for the remainder of the season until her 25th birthday. He laughs, every so 19th century-ish like in her face. You see, he's got a problem. Lady Francine is a delicate miss - so he infers - and he's a beast. Literally. He shouldn't be tempted by the puzzle he senses lies beneath her countenance. And yet he is. What ensues is a steamy romp through London. A sensual awakening for Francine. A mystery to be solved. And a deadline that is fast approaching for both Francine and Erasmus. What delights me about this book is the fact that the author took the time to research Regency England slang. I love odd words, and this book is chock full of them. It gives this story such an authentic flavor. Beyond that, this is a classic Regency tale, filled with secretive touches and glances, and not so secretive touches and stares. Bawdy women, shrill misses and mommas. Brooding men wrapped in mystery. And murders to solve. If I had one complaint, it would be that those murders I mentioned were not solved. I know there is a sequel in the works that centers in Erasmus's younger brother, Nash. Perhaps this will be handled then. It doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the story, it's just a loose thread. So yes, brooding lord and innocent, young ladies. Ancient curses regarding shifters. And time travelers. And very hot. Yep, this story had it all has it all. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily”
