Oh, the angst! Changing into a lion isn’t all fur and games. Lord Blakely doesn’t have time for innocents. His carnal appetites lean toward experienced women, ones who accommodate his need for frequent—and frequently wild—sex. Especially as The Change draws near. The uniquely captivating female... 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. But she’ll need to enlist the assistance of a powerful man of the ton to help her enact it. Dare she approach the Marquis of Blakely—the sinfully alluring lord who inspires all manner of illicit thoughts and fantasies? Though she doubts he realizes it, he’s already rescued her once. Might he do so again? ...who just might entice him to risk everything. 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. 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 chit. Note to Readers: This love story between two people contains a lot of sizzle, including one ménage scene that gets rather... growly. Standalone ~ HEA A significantly shorter version of Ensnared by Innocence was previously published; the second edition includes completely new interactions.

Changing into a lion is all fun and growls—until it isn’t. Cursed into the form of a lion without nightly sex, Lord Nash Hammond wants only two things—his liquor strong and smooth, and his wenches wild and willing. What he doesn’t need is a virgin! Meet a Shakespeare-quoting shapeshifter who wants nothing to do with love… Nash senses the man across from him in the cramped stagecoach is trouble, a danger to the veiled woman accompanying her lofty “protector”. Nash knows he’s no hero, yet she keeps asking for his help. And how is it the vexing female knows so much about his secrets? Ones that could rip her apart if she only knew it… And the spunky “lady” from the streets who masquerades as another man’s mistress… Blessed with the second-sight—or cursed, depending upon which relative she believes—Laney sees her two possible futures: bleak and a soon-deceased victim (ack!) or frolicking with her fellow stagecoach passenger: a golden-eyed, tawny-haired gentleman—who’s anything but. The miserable rip who’s already stepped on her dress, who keeps staring… Nash is surly and rude and resistant to her every effort to speak with him. When they stop for the night and she overhears him order a “strumpet” to bed, Laney takes the doxy’s place, convinced she can pretend well enough. After all, she’s pretended to be a mistress for years. She’ll satisfy his needs, but refuse his money—demand he listen and help her instead. Then she’ll be safe. Until, along with her body, Nash starts to claim her heart as well.
