The drama of Londonâs Little Season continues in this vibrant new series by USA TODAY bestselling author Kasey Michaels featuring three courageous war heroes surrendering at last to love...
Who would have thought a man could tire of being fawned over and flirted with? Ever since Cooper Townsend returned from France as a hero with a new title, he has been relentlessly pursued by every marriageable miss in London. Perhaps thatâs why the unconventional Miss Daniella Foster is so appealing. She doesnât simper or flatter. She only wants him to help unmask her sisterâs blackmailer, and Coop has never been so intrigued...
Let every other woman in London fight over His Lordshipâs romantic attentions. Marriage is the last thing on Danyâs mind...at least until she samples his illicit kisses. Now, as a mutual enemy races to ruin Coopâs reputation and Danyâs family name, an engagement of convenience will spark an unlikely passion that might save them both.

âPublishers Weekly, starred review, on The Butler Did It
Dear Reader,
A journalist once asked then president John F. Kennedy, who had captained a PT boat during World War II, just how he had come to be a war hero. His answer was given with a wink and a grin: âIt was involuntary. They sank my boat.â
That quote has always stayed with me: It was involuntary.
Nobody gets up in the morning and says, âToday I shall become a hero.â Heroism, rather, is thrust upon them.
Thatâs pretty much what happened to Cooper McGinley Townsend at the battle of Quatre Bras. Coop had gotten up that morning wanting only to be able to return to his tent in one piece that night. But between the hours of dawn and dusk, without warning, and although he was far from the sea, the fates figuratively sank his boat.
Honors commenced to rain down on our hero, including the presentation of a rather lovely estate, a fat purse and the title of baron to go along with it. Coop, a modest man by nature, was grateful, said thank you very much, and figured that was the end of that.
Except it wasnât. Some âclose friend and confidant of the heroâ published Volume One of a chapbook so stuffed with nonsense and purported feats of Coopâs derring-do (most especially with the ladies), that only a fool would give countenance to a word of it. Except that London did believe it, swallowed the nonsense whole and turned Coopâs life into a chapbook of its own.
Fame was one thing. Notoriety was a complete other kettle of fish. Coop found himself besieged by giggling young misses and their ambitious parents, all while the words Volume One warned of further ridiculousness to come.
What to do, what to do?
Letâs find out, shall we?
Happy reading,
To Sally Hawkes, a true friend.
PROLOGUE
COOPER TOWNSEND STOOD facing the tall dressing table, looking at his expression in the attached mirror, watching as he saw his usually clear green eyes going dark. He had to control himself, get past his anger, or else he wouldnât be able to think clearly.
