A Lady's Prose

A page-turning story full of romance and fun, A Lady's Prose follows an aspiring author whose plans are derailed when she's unwittingly caught up in a nefarious plot.

Miss Emma Davies is an author, not a detective. Yet, after an unfortunate incident, which involved losing half of her gown while fleeing criminals, then collapsing on top of a man she’d only just met, her season is ruined before it’s even begun. It’s now up to her and an unlikely ally to prove her innocence in more ways than one. Tricky, but not impossible… or so she hoped.

*A Lady's Prose is the comical seventh novel in the Best Laid Plans series of historical romance. If you love romance with strong female lead characters, humor, hijinks, and suspense, this book is for you. It's recommended for ages 17+ due to infrequent strong language and sexual situations.

Interview with the author:

Q. What makes the Best Laid Plans series so special?

A. It’s a mixture of things, I think. I began writing this series for my friends, detailing what zany adventures our daughters might have had if they’d been alive during the Regency and Victorian eras, plus I wanted to create something I’d enjoy reading myself. I usually choose humor and intrigue, so you’ll see those aspects sprinkled throughout the series. I’m also a sucker for love triangles, second chances, enemies to lovers, strong female characters, and friendship as a whole, so if you can also show me character growth along with it, then I’m a happy reader.

As the series progresses through the Victorian period and beyond, the characters change as do the plotlines whether it’s spies, criminals, amnesia, etc. but the strong female characters and hilarious antics continue on in a way that has been extremely entertaining to write.

Q. What order should I read the books in?

A. Great question! There are a few different options, actually. Book 2, A Lady’s Choice, is a prequel and can be read first, second, or even last, although I’d suggest reading it towards the beginning as those main characters pop up in quite a few of the first books peripherally. Book 4, A Lady’s Wedding can be read after book 1, A Lady’s Scheme, or you can wait and read it after book 3, A Lady’s Rake. The rest (so far) can be read in order.
