HER SAVIOR
It was him. Serena couldn't breathe. She'd been looking for him for years—the man who'd lifted her out of the dregs of London's underworld. She remembered that he'd looked like an angel. But either she'd embellished or he'd grown up. Because he didn't look like an angel now. He looked like a man, solid and broad, and taller than she'd thought. And now he needed her help.
HIS SIREN
Solomon recognized her as soon as they were alone in the dark. He'd not forgotten that night five years ago either. But Serena had changed. She was stronger, fiercely independent and, though it hardly seemed possible, even more beautiful. She was also neck-deep in trouble. Yet he'd help cook a feast for the Prince Regent, take on a ring of spies, love her well into the night—anything to convince her that this time he was here to stay.
Rose Lerner, a graduate of Swarthmore College, is a cook at a natural foods co-op in Seattle. A Lily Among Thorns is her second novel, following her debut, In for a Penny.
"Georgette Heyer watch out! With believable characters and a keen eye for period detail, Rose Lerner serves up a sprightly and splendid take on the classic marriage of convenience plot. Not to be missed by fans of the Regency romance."--Lauren Willig, author of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation on In for a Penny
"The grit of Dickens and the true-to-life, breathing characters of Austen. Rose Lerner is a new star in the Regency firmament."--Judith Laik, author of The Lady is Mine
"A first novel that not only has life, but also beautiful writing, charming characters, and attention to the small details...I adored it."-All About Romance on In for a Penny
