The Lady's Plan . . .
When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her twenty-ninth year 'The Year of Hattie', she has plans. Plans to inherit her father's business, to make her own fortune and finally to experience a taste of the pleasure she'll forgo as a confirmed spinster. She does not, however, plan to find the most beautiful man she's ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin The Year of Hattie before it's even begun.
The Bastard's Proposal . . .
After waking in a carriage at Hattie's feet, Whit - a king of Covent Garden known to all the world as Beast - can't help but wonder about the strange woman who frees him, especially when he discovers her plans for a night of pleasure. He is more than happy to offer Hattie all she desires . . . for a price.
An Unexpected Passion . . .
Soon, Hattie and Whit find themselves rivals in business and pleasure: she won't give up her plans; he won't give up his power . . . but if they're not careful, they'll have no choice but to give up everything, including their hearts.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
MacLean's second Bareknuckle Bastards Regency veers away from the typical Regency romance focus on the nobility to explore the lives of London's ordinary folk, populating Covent Garden with delightful recurring characters. Lady Henrietta "Hattie" Sedley is 29 and heartily tired of being seen as "just" a woman. She longs to take over her father's shipping company, but she's hampered by her gender and her ne'er-do-well brother, Augie. While embarking on a plan to enjoy some sensual pleasures in the seedier parts of town, she's dismayed to find that Augie has left Beast, a smuggler and one of the infamous Bareknuckle Bastards, tied up and unconscious in her carriage. She wakes up Beast, kisses him, and tosses him out the door while the carriage is moving, ensuring he'll come looking for her en route to taking revenge on Augie. Hattie finds Beast's good looks and confidence impossibly appealing, and her independence and determination pique his interest. Soon their business fortunes are as entwined as their bodies. The imaginative plot carries readers along in this deliciously sexy story filled with heart.
