The Lady's Plan . . .

When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her twenty-ninth year 'The Year of Hattie', she has plans. Plans to inherit her father's business, to make her own fortune and finally to experience a taste of the pleasure she'll forgo as a confirmed spinster. She does not, however, plan to find the most beautiful man she's ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin The Year of Hattie before it's even begun.

The Bastard's Proposal . . .

After waking in a carriage at Hattie's feet, Whit - a king of Covent Garden known to all the world as Beast - can't help but wonder about the strange woman who frees him, especially when he discovers her plans for a night of pleasure. He is more than happy to offer Hattie all she desires . . . for a price.

An Unexpected Passion . . .

Soon, Hattie and Whit find themselves rivals in business and pleasure: she won't give up her plans; he won't give up his power . . . but if they're not careful, they'll have no choice but to give up everything, including their hearts.

  • First Date:  Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her twenty-ninth year the “Year of Hattie,” and she has plans! But first, to get rid of her V-card. She has the night booked at a discreet club exclusively for women but things get complicated when she finds a man tied up in her carriage. A very handsome man. Fearing her brother may have a hand in it, she heads towards her destination. When the man in question awakens. He believes the young woman to be in on the attack but before he can gather his wits, the girl has kissed him and tossed him out the door! Oh, I am all in!

  • Second Date: The trussed up man, is none other than Whit, known in Covent Garden as the Beast. As Hattie waits to fulfil the first task in her five-step plan… the Beast hunts her down. Guys, I absolutely loved the back-and-forth banter and wicked chemistry between Whit, and Hattie. She is so confident with the things she wants, but sorely lacking with how desirable she is as a woman. Whit may seem all brawn, but beneath that exterior he is a fierce protector and bookworm. Be still my heart. ❤️ ♥️
