Book Description
2022 Maggie Award of Excellence Finalist Changing into a lion isn’t all fur and games... A Regency lord battles his inner beast while helping an innocent miss, never dreaming how he’ll come to care for the chit—nor how being near his world will deliver danger right to her doorstep. “Witty, Enchanting and Roaring Hot! I think I’ve found a new author to binge! I would definitely recommend it as a good gateway book to shape-shifters or to lovers of historical romance.” 5-Star Goodreads Review “I would give this a 10/10 rating. Beautifully written by a very talented author… PLEASE read this brilliant novel. I cannot wait for the next in series.” 5-Star BookBub Review “This book has it all: -Regency Romance. With Regency England slang. I’m a sucker for it -Cursed Shifters -Sexy, dark, secretive, brooding hero -Feisty, intelligent, independent heroine… So yes, brooding lord and innocent, young ladies. Ancient curses regarding shifters. And time travelers. And very hot. Yep, this story had it all has it all.” 5-star BookBub review “I love the fact this is shifter and regency all rolled into one…I was amazed by the storyline and couldn’t help how addictive I found this text…I loved the originality of this book and thought it really stood out for many reasons… A true talent for writing…” 5-Star Review If Darcy had been a shape-shifting lion who thought about frisking—a lot… Lady Francine Montfort may have led a sheltered life till her parents’ untimely demise but that doesn’t mean she’s ignorant. Neither is she blind to the conniving ways of her persistent aunt, who’s determined to marry Francine off for her own selfish gain. Forced to drastic measures to avoid the wretched woman’s scheming, Francine concocts her own masterful plan. She might need to beg a favor from Lord Blakely—the sinfully alluring marquis who inspires all manner of illicit thoughts—but she’s determined to help him as well. To ease those mysterious, haunting secrets that torment him so… When Lady Francine, the epitome of innocence, requests he pose as her betrothed, Blakely knows he should handily refuse. He’s baffled when unfamiliar, protective urges make themselves known, tempting him to agree while danger stalks ever closer. Alas, it’s fast approaching the season when Blakely loses all control. Either Francine satisfies his sexual appetites or he’ll be forced to reveal his beastly side. And that will never do. Not now that he’s come to care for the intrepid miss. Standalone ~ HEA ~ 80,500-word Novel ~ Book 1 Roaring Rogues Regency Shifters Note: This love story between two people contains some profanity and a lot of sizzle, including one partial ménage scene that gets rather…growly. A very different version of Ensnared by Innocence was previously published; this second edition is *three* times as long and freshly rewritten.

Book Description
For Jane Austen fans who always wished her fun and witty books had more heat. The Mistress in the Making historical Regency series features sizzling hot Regency romance; character-driven, feel-good interactions that bring smiles and laugh out loud moments; and a heart warming HEA. “I recommend all three of the Mistress in the Making books to anyone who enjoys electric passion, witty humor, and a beautiful love story!” Reading Rebel Reviews “I did so enjoy reading all three books about the growing love between Thea and Daniel. They were funny and well written and I can’t wait to read more of this author’s books. Highly recommended reads and definitely keepers!” Five-Star UK Reviewer Seductive Silence (Book 1) – Pestered by a persistent stammer, a regency lord with a keen interest in orreries and boxing—but not in talking—must find a way to woo his new mistress without words. Recently widowed and increasingly poor, Thea’s been reduced to sharing her rented room with rodents and arguing over every morsel (the mice usually win). So when a friend suggests Thea consider a scandalous alliance, she cannot help but be intrigued… Lusty Letters (Book 2) – Thea’s fascinating new protector has secrets—several. Hesitant to destroy her newfound circumstances, she stifles her longing to know everything about the powerfully built—and frustratingly quiet—Marquis. But then his naughty notes start to appear, full of humor and wit, and Thea realizes she’s about to break the cardinal rule of mistressing—that of falling for her new protector. Egad. Lord Tremayne takes to writing letters to woo his new mistress, little realizing how their fun, flirty exchanges will quickly become the light of his day. Or how wretched he’ll feel when the charming Thea suggests they banter in person, possibly pen poetry—together. Blazing ballocks! Is she insane? Daring Declarations (Book 3) – An evening at the opera could prove Lord Tremayne’s undoing when he and his lovely new paramour cross paths with his sister and brother-in-law. Introducing one’s socially unacceptable strumpet to his stunned family is never done. But Daniel does it anyway. And it might just be the best decision he’s ever made, for Thea’s quickly become much more than a mistress—and it’s time he told her so. The sweet and spicy, 117,000 word Mistress in the Making historical romance bundle is a fun, “sexy Jane Austen styled”, emotionally satisfying tale told in three parts: Seductive Silence, Lusty Letters, and Daring Declarations. This digital box set contains the complete series. *** Sexy Historical Romance Books by Larissa Lyons: ROARING ROGUES REGENCY SHIFTERS steamy hot regency shapeshifters Ensnared by Innocence Deceived by Desire (on preorder) Tamed by Temptation (TBA) MISTRESS IN THE MAKING fun and sexy Regency series (Complete) Seductive Silence Lusty Letters Daring Declarations FUN & SEXY REGENCY ROMANCE Lady Scandal A SWEETLY SPICY HOLIDAY REGENCY Miss Isabella Thaws a Frosty Lord *** FOR FANS OF: sexy Jane Austen, Stephanie Laurens, Sabrina Jeffries, Sarah MacLean, Tessa Dare, Mary Balogh, Scarlett Scott, Alexa Aston, Grace Callaway, Stacy Reid, Alyson Chase, Dragonblade Publishing, Avon, Christi Caldwell, Jess Michaels, Merry Farmer, Chastity Bowlin, Mary Lancaster, Bree Wolf, Sally MacKenzie, Julia Quinn, Sandra Sookoo, Cheryl Bolen, Tammy Andresen, Tamara Gill, Eva Devon, Meara Platt, Elisa Braden, Lisa Kleypas, Tessa Candle, Eloisa James.

Book Description
Meet a Shakespeare-quoting shapeshifter who wants nothing to do with love… Cursed into the form of a lion without nightly sex, Lord Nash Hammond wants only two things—his liquor strong and smooth, and his wenches wild and willing. What he doesn’t need is a virgin! Nash senses the man across from him in the cramped stagecoach is trouble, a danger to the veiled woman accompanying her lofty “protector”. Nash knows he’s no hero, yet she keeps asking for his help. And how is it the vexing female knows so much about his secrets? Ones that could rip her apart if she only knew it… And the spunky “lady” from the streets who masquerades as another man’s mistress… Blessed with the second-sight—or cursed, depending upon which relative she believes—Laney sees her two possible futures: bleak and a soon-deceased victim (ack!) or frolicking with her fellow stagecoach passenger: a golden-eyed, tawny-haired gentleman—who’s anything but. The miserable rip who’s already stepped on her dress, who keeps staring… Nash is surly and rude and resistant to her every effort to speak with him. When they stop for the night and she overhears him order a “strumpet” to bed, Laney takes the doxy’s place, convinced she can pretend well enough. After all, she’s pretended to be a mistress for years. She’ll satisfy his needs, but refuse his money—demand he listen and help her instead. Then she’ll be safe. Until, along with her body, Nash starts to claim her heart as well. Reader Advisory: While Deceived by Desire is laugh-out-loud funny in places, it contains a short *vision* of violence and brief references to past abuse. Beyond that, expect a fun and sexy good time because… Changing into a lion is all fun and growls—until it isn’t. HEA ~ Book 2 - Roaring Rogues Regency Shifters ~ 97,000 words Book 1 - Ensnared by Innocence, FINALIST - Maggie Award of Excellence 2022 A shorter version of Deceived by Desire was previously published; this second edition contains several new chapters and characters, and is freshly rewritten.

Book Description
A teenage girl faces her evil nemesis in the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland-inspired trilogy that “should sweep readers down the rabbit hole” (Publishers Weekly). After surviving a disastrous battle at prom, Alyssa has embraced her madness and gained perspective. She’s determined to rescue her two worlds and the people and netherlings she loves. Even if it means challenging Queen Red to a final battle of wills and wiles . . . and even if the only way to Wonderland, now that the rabbit hole is closed, is through the looking-glass world—a parallel dimension filled with mutated and violent netherling outcasts. In the final installment of the wildly popular Splintered trilogy, Alyssa and her dad journey into the heart of magic and mayhem in search of her mom and to set right all that’s gone wrong. Together with Jeb and Morpheus, they must salvage Wonderland from the decay and destruction that has ensnared it. But if they succeed and come out alive, can everyone truly have their happily ever after? Praise for the Splintered trilogy “Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I’ve come across in a while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale.” —USA Today “Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising.” —The Boston Globe “A dark beauty fills the novel’s pages, which will mesmerize teens with a taste for magic, romance or suspense. Unhinged lays the groundwork for a third book where anything could happen—it is Wonderland, after all.” —Shelf Awareness

Book Description
The case of Stefan Kiszko casts a dark shadow over British justice. Totally unconnected to the murder of which he was convicted—that of a young girl Lesley Molseed—he spent 16 years in prison tormented as a sex-offender and suffering from what one expert described as ‘delusions of innocence’. As author Michael O’Connell explains, it was in fact the system by which he was ensnared which was suffering from ‘delusions of guilt’. Kiszko could not have been Lesley’s attacker as subsequently established by DNA and the medical fact that he could not produce sperm. But a false confession written for him by a corrupt police officer set in train proceedings from which he was never to recover, dying only a short time after his eventual release. In this book, Michael O’Connell investigates every small detail of the case with especial reference to the foibles of the lawyers, investigators and scientists involved, all of whom either missed or ignored the signs that should have pointed to an early discharge from a misguided prosecution. The book includes the participation of a prosecutor who went on to become Lord Chief Justice and a leading defence barrister who became Home Secretary before his elevation to the House of Lords. Everyone seems to have become caught up in the momentum originally fuelled by policing methods that are hopefully now long gone. The most detailed treatment available. Contains Kiszko’s original confession and retraction. Explains the points at which the case went wrong. Looks at the motivations of those involved.

“Who am I, detective? A principal? An accomplice? An accessory? Or innocent?” A long time has passed since heiress Claire Leighton left the cocoon of her idyllic childhood. Yet the tendrils of the past still linger. Old sins, as they say, cast long shadows - and the innocent are as much in danger as the guilty of being ensnared in the tangled web of love, greed, lies, wickedness, and murder.

Book Description
The political dynamics that shape the Innocence Movement Since 1989, more than 3000 people are known to have been exonerated after being wrongly convicted in the United States. Each one of these cases represents a gross miscarriage of justice; they are stories of lives upended by a criminal legal system gone awry. Yet, this number just scratches the surface and does not capture the full breadth of wrongful convictions, which may well number in the tens of thousands. The Politics of Innocence explores the political dynamics that have shaped the proliferation of innocence-related policies across the United States and the ways in which wrongful convictions affect public opinion about the criminal legal system. Although some have suggested that this issue transcends ideological divisions, the authors argue that public opinion and the policies that address wrongful convictions are a product of the political landscape. Using original data, the authors show how political ideology influences awareness of the issue, affects support for policy reform, and, in particular electoral contexts, influences state policy adoption. The Politics of Innocence is a moving and data-driven account of wrongful convictions.
