About the Book

Left standing on the side while their contemporaries marry into society, four young ladies forge a bond to guard each other from a similar fate . . .

Finishing school failed to make a proper lady of Penelope Arrington. But as a Wallflower of West Lane, Poppy has a far more vital role—she and her three best friends have made a pact to protect each other from the clutches of dangerous, disreputable men. So when one of them is about to be married off to a duke sight unseen, Poppy makes it her mission to divine the prospective husband’s true character. If only she didn’t require the aid of London’s most unsuitable rake.

Rhys Draper, Earl of Marsden, has known the headstrong Poppy since she was a young girl, naïve to the ways of men. To her eternal chagrin—and to his vague amusement—they have been at odds over the memory of their embarrassing first encounter all these years. Now, with his services in need, Rhys sees a chance to finally clear the air between them. Instead, he is surprised by the heat of their feelings. If the two do not tread carefully, they may end up in a most agreeably compromising position . . .

Your book is set in London in the early nineteenth century. Can you tell us why you chose this location in particular?

I love the Regency era. I love the rules. I love breaking the rules.


How long did it take you to write your book?

About three months.


What has been the most pivotal point of your writing life?

Getting published back in 2011 was pretty huge. There have been many ups and downs and I’ve tried several different genres. Focusing on Regency Romance was probably my best decision. Though, one never knows what the future hold. ;)

What kind of advice would you give other Regency Romance authors?

Know your history. Do your research. However, don’t get too mired in the details. Write your story and then weave in any pertinent history.

Thank you so much for having me here.
