Duchess If You Dare: A spicy, suspense-filled, regency romance

From the glittering ballrooms of the Ton to the city’s darkest alleyways, the Maidens of Mayhem are sworn to fight injustice - even when it leads to unexpected love.

Scarlett Wynn knows how cruel life can be for a powerless woman. So when a local seamstress vanishes, she’s determined to find answers. Armed with steel and grit, Scarlett’s search collides with Ambrose Cross, the Duke of Aylesford, in the most unlikely place: a lavish brothel.

Ambrose is desperate to protect his family’s name, but fearless Scarlett draws him into a dangerous alliance - and an even riskier passion. As their investigations entwine, they uncover a sinister plot behind a string of missing women.

Now Scarlett and Ambrose must risk everything - their hearts, their reputations, and their lives - to bring justice to the shadows of London.

A regency romance that is both smart and sexy, fans of Sarah MacLean, Vanessa Riley, and Julia London will love this new series.
