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."
