About this ebook

She’s found the perfect plan to avoid marriage...

Miss Frances Cherrington has long been criticized as independent and prickly. And she’s fine with it. Truth be told, she’d prefer to be a spinster—damn her family’s desires. But it’s a conversation with the devilishly handsome yet highly infuriating Earl of Winthrop that inspires the perfect escape from her nuptial troubles. Frances could ensure that no one will marry her—by happily ruining her own reputation...

The Earl of Winthrop knows more about ruin than anyone suspects. He’s just uncovered a secret that would tear his name—and everything he’s worked for—to the ground. Certainly, marriage is out of the question...to say nothing of his growing attraction to the forthright and delectable Miss Cherrington.

Though all London is abuzz with Frances’s “disgrace,” she’s determined to use her freedom however she sees fit. Even if it means spending more time with a man who sets her body on fire. But when Frances’s misdeeds catch up to her, the ruinous disaster she finds herself in blazes out of control, taking all of her options with it.

Each book in The Lions and Lilies series is STANDALONE:
* The Duke's Rules Of Engagement
* A Lady's Rules for Ruin

Ratings and reviews

I very much enjoyed Frances and Evan's romance. The story being told was easy to engage with and both characters were very likable. I liked that each of these characters were very much square pegs in round holes. It made my heart ache for them, and it also made them perfect for each other. A great addition to the series that I look forward to reading more of.

This is an interesting and an emotional story with a slow-burn romance, a scandal or two, some tough family interaction, an unreasonable brother, and three little boys who find a family. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

This clever story is engaging and emotional. It has wonderful characters, including three adorable little boys. Frances and Winthrop are a good match, both trying to build the lives they want without regard for convention. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
