Lucy Vaughan has never wanted a husband after witnessing her father’s mistreatment of her mother. Now she faces her worst nightmare, a forced marriage to a man she fears. Who better to help her to flee than Bertie Lovell, the boy who slayed dragons for her when they were children.
Bertie is the black sheep of his family but longs to leave his wild ways behind him and settle down. Lucy’s suitor proves difficult to shake off. Spending so much time together on the road leads to their friendship developing into something deeper. Bertie offers to marry Lucy himself.

About the author

Josie lives in the English midlands, surrounded by towns full of history such as Evesham, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwick and Worcester. Which is perhaps why her favourite reads are historical. Out of all the periods to choose from the Regency Era stirs her imagination the most. The true Regency lasted from 1811 until 1820 but dates as wide as 1789 to 1837 have been included in the extended Regency period. For Josie the true flavour of this period emerges after the iniquitous hair powder tax of 1795, unsurprisingly, scuppered the fashion for hair powder almost overnight.
Josie has always dabbled in stories but it took the combined efforts of her sister and eldest niece to set her on the path to writing novels. Her Regency romances, with a dash of adventure and intrigue, are the result.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of 5th book
Nicely drawn characters. A bit hard to keep track of all the names. Perhaps that's just me.
I recommend this book.
