Tempted by the damsel in distress!
Captain James Warriner is startled to find a curvaceous beauty caught up a tree in his orchard! Despite his shattered leg, he rescues Miss Cassandra Reeves, then is determined to have nothing more to do with the enticing vicar’s daughter.
Except when Cassie seeks Jamie out to apologize, they find themselves persuaded to work together on her storybook. Secret liaisons with the dashing soldier make Cassie wish Jamie would rescue her once more...by making her his wife!
Four brothers living on the edge of society…scandalising the ton at every turn!
Tucked away at their remote estate in Nottinghamshire are the ton’s most notorious brothers.
The exploits of Jack, Jamie, Joe and Jacob Warriner’s parents—their father’s gambling and cheating, their mother’s tragic end—are legendary. But now, for the first time, the brothers find themselves the talk of the ton for an entirely different reason…
Because four women are about to change their lives—and put them firmly in society’s spotlight!

When I wrote the first book in this Wild Warriners series, A Warriner to Protect Her, I was pretty certain of the sort of direction I wanted the second book to go. James Warriner is a damaged former soldier, with a talent for covert reconnaissance, and I wanted to bring those skills into play for his story. I envisaged some sort of tale involving intrigue—perhaps even espionage. However, as my characters so often do, Jamie took me down a completely different path.

A man who painted delicate and beautiful flowers was not really ever meant to be so fluent in violence. He didn’t need to return to his military ways—he needed saving. It was then that I first began toying with the idea of introducing Jamie to a vicar’s daughter.
Around the same time I was rooting around the attic one day, looking for something, and came across one of my children’s old storybooks: The Tale of Peter Rabbit by the wonderful Beatrix Potter—a woman who used her childhood pets as inspiration for her wonderfully vivid and brightly illustrated stories. Before I knew it my soft-hearted vicar’s daughter had a horse called Orange Blossom and a talent for writing. With his art and her words, surely they were a match made in heaven? If only I could convince Jamie, of course…
