Hello, my lovelies! I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I was to learn that my book was chosen as one of the eight Lyon Den stories for this kickstarter campaign! To Claim A Lyon’s Heart was the first story I wrote for the Lyon’s Den Connect World. It’s in Volume Two along with my dear friend Bluestocking Belle Cerise DeLand ‘s story, The Lyon’s Share! If you check out the author’s in both sets, you’ll see for yourself that most of these authors have been here before on my blog for First Kiss Friday!
Hopefully you’ve seen the social media posts from Dragonblade Publishing and their authors who are beginning to get the word out! If not, here’s more information where you can learn about these beautiful hardcover foil treasures! I know I’ll be adding both to my bookshelf because, honestly, only one would never do!
From the Publisher:
Bankrupt estate? Ruined reputation? Need a husband—immediately—for reasons that are no one’s business but yours? In a world where society demands a man at the helm, what’s a Regency woman outside the Ton’s tidy mold to do?
The clever ones seek out the Black Widow of Whitehall.
Bessie Dove-Lyon, formidable proprietress of London’s most notorious gaming hell, the Lyon’s Den, has built an empire of secrets, leverage, and opportunity. Men flock to her tables to drink, wager, and forget their obligations. Bessie watches, listens… and chooses.
Because she doesn’t just arrange marriages of convenience—she engineers salvation. With sharp wit and unconventional methods, the Widow crafts matches on favorable terms, turning desperate bargains into unexpected devotion.
In the Lyon’s Den, love is the most dangerous game of all—and Bessie Dove-Lyon always plays to win.
The Lyon’s Den stories are set in the same world but are not chronological. Each novella stands on it’s own and can be read in any order.
Eight marriage of convenience stories in two beautifully bound collector’s editions. Gold foil, sprayed edges, and gorgeous custom stepback images. Plus a chance to be among the first to read Bessie Dove-Lyon’s origin story. Click Notify me on launch to hear as soon as the campaign goes live. You do not want to miss this!
