Backlist Spotlight on The Talons of a Lyon
With my next Lyon’s Den book, The Lyon’s Dilemma, out on July 30th, I thought it was time to remind you where it all began.The death of Lady Frogmore’s neglectful and disloyal husband should have been a relief. But then her nasty brother-in-law seizes her three children and turns her out, telling the whole of Society that she is a crude, vulgar, loose woman. Without allies or friends, Serafina, Lady Frogmore, turns to Mrs. Dove Lyon, also known as the Black Widow of Whitehall for help, paying her with a promise to grant whatever favor Mrs Dove Lyon asks.
Lord Lancelot Versey has always tried to be a perfect gentleman, and a gentleman honors his debts, even when an unwise wager obliges him to escort a notorious widow into Society. But Lady Frogmore is not what he expects, and helping her becomes a quest worthy of the knight for whom he was named.
Except Mrs. Dove Lyon calls in Seraphina’s promise. The favor she asks might destroy all they have found together.
This book is inspired by The Frog Prince. My Frog Princess needs someone to sponsor her into the ton.

It was out of character for him to drink so much that he ended up wagering when he shouldn’t, but a night of celebration left him in debt to Mrs Dove Lyons. His forfeit? To do her a favour when she asked. And that favour was to help Serafina.

She has lost her children to her deceased husband’s brother and faces a sea of rumours put about by that villain. She approaches Mrs Dove Lyons for help to put the rumours to rest so she can succeed in gaining access to her babies.
