Brazen and the Beast follows Henrietta Sedley, known as “The Year of Hattie,” as she negotiates business, autonomy, and desire when a formidable stranger enters her carefully charted plans. Wicked and the Wallflower closes the trio with Felicity Faircloth and Devil, the bastard son of a duke, whose bargain-born alliance becomes a passionate, transformative love. The collection showcases MacLean’s signature blend of sharp dialogue, danger-infused plots, and heart-stopping, consensual romance that rewards patient readers who savor slow-burn chemistry and high-stakes emotional payoff.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Daring and the Duke—Grace Condry has spent a lifetime running from a painful past, thriving in London’s rougher corners while maintaining a sharp wit and a sharper edge. When the enigmatic and relentless Ewan, Duke of Marwick, returns, the balance of power shifts.
