The “Manfatuation”

by Tessa Dare

This is a rather silly bonus scene from A Lady By Midnight, which I wrote as a reward after my book won a round in a reader contest. Colin teaches Thorne to waltz.

An extra scene from A Lady by Midnight available at her website, tessadare.com. Is it wrong that I love even the shortest little "outakes" from books? Perhaps if they really were deleted scenes I wouldn't so much.

Let's just say that people from the neighborhood were calling me to ask me why I was laughing so hard 🤣🤣

“Manfatuation. A manly infatuation. You are seized in the grips of a raging manfatuation.”

Truly anything with Viscount Colin Payne is getting nothing less than a five stars from me. So funny, so cute, and most importantly, Colin.



Do yourselves a favor and go read A Week to Be Wicked. It is, without a doubt, the best Tessa Dare book ever. I re-read it constantly.

“Manfatuation. A manly infatuation. You are seized in the grips of a raging manfatuation.”
oh colin, never change 🤣

my favourites in the spindle cove series have and will always be colin & minerva's and thorne & kate's books, and to see thorne desperately trying to learn how to waltz from colin was everything (and a surprise appearance by minerva 😍). gosh i laughed so much at this 😂

Loved it. Anything with Colin in it is worth a read, and he is once again a hoot. This is a free bonus chapter of 'A Lady by Midnight' on the author's website.

Enjoyed it very much! We get more of Colin and Thorne, plus an appearance of Minerva!

This is a fun bonus chapter from A Lady by Midnight featuring Thorne and Colin during their dance lesson. Reading this makes me want an entire series devoted to Colin and Thorne.

A super short dialogue between Colin and Thorne while Colin helps Thorne learn the waltz.
