Look for the next two stories in the trilogy
Coming soon!
Welcome to the first of my Brides for Bachelors trilogy!
Iâm really excited about this trilogy as itâs the first time Iâve written a series of stories with connected heroes on purpose! I often get heroes or heroines from one story to walk across the pages of anotherâjust for fun. And sometimes a secondary character has taken root in my imagination and grown until Iâve had to give him or her their own story. But when I pitched the outline for The Major Meets His Match, and described its opening scene, my lovely editor pointed out that the men involved all had stories of their own to tell, and asked why I hadnât thought about writing a linked series from the outset. The minute she suggested that it was as if a light bulb had gone on in my head. I couldnât wait to start writing!
I do hope you enjoy this first in the mini-series as much as I enjoyed writing it, and that you will want to find out what happens to Major Jack Heskethâs friends next.
PS If you are already one of the group of readers who enjoy spotting heroes from my other stories wandering across the pages of books that arenât theirs, then I hope you enjoy the cameo role Iâve given the hero of my very first publication for Mills & Boonâ¦and have a little giggle at Aunt Susanâs predictions about the kind of bride he is likely to marry.

I am really grateful to Aidan for brainstorming with me when I got stuck with this one. And for reminding me what kind of heroine I first imagined in Lady Harriet.
Contents
Lady Harriet Inskip tilted back her head and breathed in deeply. She could still smell soot, but at least this early in the day it wasnât completely blotting out the more wholesome odours of dew-damp grass and leather and horse. It didnât matter that it was still barely light enough to see the trees and flowers, or the curve of the Serpentine. She hadnât come here to admire the decorous landscape, after all.
She leaned forward and patted her horseâs neck.
âCome on, Shadow, letâs have a good gallop, shall we? While thereâs nobody to tell us we canât.â
Shadow snorted and pawed at the gravel path to indicate she was just as eager for exercise as her mistress. And then, with just the slightest tap of Harrietâs heel against Shadowâs flank, they were off.
