Girls who dare – Inside every wallflower is the beating heart of a lioness, a passionate individual willing to risk all for their dream, if only they can find the courage to begin. When these overlooked girls make a pact to change their lives, anything can happen.
Eleven girls – eleven dares in a hat, twelve passionate stories. Who will dare to risk it all?
To Bed the Baron
One desperate young woman…
Jemima Fernside is the epitome of a well-behaved lady, bred to marry a gentleman and play the part of the perfect wife. Until she finds herself alone in the world without a penny to her name. With few options available to her, Jemima has little choice but to accept a scandalous proposal to become the paid companion to a man she’s never even met.
One desperately lonely man…
Solomon ‘Solo’ Weston, the Baron Rothborn, is sick of society, and people in general who leave him irritable and impatient. As Lieutenant Colonel of the 15th King’s Dragoons, he was invalided out of the army after a bullet left him lame. Haunted by guilt, by dead comrades and a lost love, he is becoming ever more reclusive, finding escape through his beloved books.
And a passion neither of them expected to find…
When driven to seek comfort from his bleak existence, Solo believes he has little to offer but financial security in return for a lady’s virtue. But Jemima is not the kind of woman who will leave sleeping ghosts lie, and soon the past and the future don’t look at all like Solo expected them to.
**** Warning: This book contains all manner of strong wills and Regency sensibilities, not detracting from the presence of a descriptive sexual encounter or two. We are very pleased, however, to highlight that this book - and series - is in no way verging on erotica.
**** AUTHOR'S NOTE: Girls Who Dare is an ongoing saga following the Peculiar Ladies, their friendships and loves, and is designed to be read in order. Whilst they may be read as standalone novels, some aspects of the story will not be explained if read in this fashion. The reading order is as follows:
•Book 1: To Dare a Duke
•Book 2: To Steal a Kiss
•Book 3: To Break the Rules
•Book 4: To Follow her Heart
•Book 5: To Wager with Love
•Book 6: To Dance with a Devil
