Emma V. Leech

He thought he’d escaped danger. He hadn’t accounted for Miss Clementine Honeywell.

A witty Regency romance from international bestselling author Emma V. Leech.

When Sylvester ‘Beau’ Cavendish, Earl of Beaumarsh, narrowly escapes an attempt on his life, he’s whisked away from London and deposited in the last place anyone would look for a notorious Regency rake: the seaside town of Little Valentine.

After a humiliating introduction to Miss Clementine Honeywell, the vicar’s capable daughter, Beau realises Little Valentine may be more dangerous than he thought. Clementine has no patience for idle aristocrats, least of all one who won’t confront the cousin bent on killing him.

If the earl will not act, she will.

But as danger closes in and scandal threatens Little Valentine, Clementine begins to glimpse the man beneath Beau’s polished indolence – and Beau discovers that the woman determined to save him may also be the one who steals his heart…

The first book in the Venturesome Ladies of Little Valentine series, where the women of a tranquil English seaside village prove more than a match for London’s most restless and notorious gentlemen.
