The Enchanted Cave by Sue London Once Upon A Regency Boxset

 The Enchanted Cave by Sue London
Once Upon A Regency Boxset


Bio:


Bestselling author Sue London created the beloved Regency romance series The Haberdashers. If you like your historical romance with a little action, a little humor, and a lot of strong-minded women, then it is the series for you!
Sue London began writing short stories about horses and teen sleuths when she was seven years old. After that she traveled to distant worlds, fought with swords and sorcerers, and played with a few undead things. As you might have expected, this means she went into accountancy. Well, maybe that was an odd plot twist, but that’s the difference between real life and fiction – fiction has to make sense.
In her twenties she developed a deep affection for romance. You can thank those books for leading a sci-fi tomboy into writing historical romances set in the Regency period!

Blurb:
With his four friends under the spell of the Irish ’sisters' at the Enchanted Cave, it falls to Galen Mornay to save the poor idiots. Although ostensibly lady boxers, he knows the sisters have a more prurient background. Galen dangles the opportunity to become his mistress and the sisters predictably turn their attentions to him. All except the beautiful Maeve O’Malley, who insists she will be no man’s play thing. Can Galen save his friend Finn before the fool offers to marry her? Or will Maeve prove to be too much for Galen himself?

Excerpt:
Drat the man, but he was surprisingly likeable. There was little that Maeve liked better than verbal sparring, but it wasn't something that others could often engage in without rancor. He had taken her jibe about his class with surprising equanimity, even seeming a bit entertained that she had trapped him between two equally disparaging options. It was, for just a moment, freeing. It had been ages since she felt this way, as though the day held only good things. The baron almost immediately ruined it.
"So do you think Finn is a fool or an unsympathetic arse?"
"I'm sure I wouldn't know."
"What are your plans for him?"
"I have no plans for Lord Cole."
"I thought perhaps you had set your cap for him."
"No, I'd not be any man's mistress."
"You made it clear that marriage was required."
She stopped and stared at him. "You think I expect to be a countess?"
"Don't you?"
She couldn't help but to laugh in his face. What started as a burble of mirth became a gale of laughter that almost doubled her over. "And how would he introduce me? As the girl he met fighting bare-knuckle at a house of brassers?" She snorted indelicately. "You think Lord Cole a fool."

"Most men are fools for at least one woman in their lives."
