LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP is the second in a new Regency romp of a series from the author of the Merriwell Sisters series! In this hilarious historical rom-com, a single lord is forced to settle down...and when a houseparty brings a happy-go-lucky lady's companion his way, his grumpy heart is unexpectedly warmed.
________________________
Nine years ago, Lord Guy Harrowby was publicly humiliated by a failed romantic gesture. Now, with the clock ticking on a promise he made to his mother to make her a grandmother by his thirtieth birthday, Guy is horrified to see his incorrigible mother taking matters into her own hands: she's organised a week-long house party at his estate . . . with every debutante she can think of.
Lottie Travers is not a very good lady's companion. Despite years of trying, she still climbs trees better than she embroiders, and would always rather be riding horses. But now, with her family's finances relying on her wages, she's determined to conquer her wildness once and for all.
Overwhelmed with eligible women, there is only one who catches Guy's eye, no matter how hard he tries to deny it. For Lottie, succeeding in her job proves difficult when the Wennington estate is filled with horses and there is a definite spark between her and the grumpy lord.
Neither of them is quite what the other expected,
but could they in fact be the perfect match?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A reticent lord falls for a spirited lady below his station in Heath's sparkling second Miss Prentice's Protégées romance (after All's Fair in Love and War). In 1820 London, Lord Guy Harrowby, the Viscount Wennington, is both irked by and attracted to the woman who berates him for nearly colliding with her while they're both riding in Hyde Park. He's shocked when that same woman, Lottie Travers, arrives at his estate in Kent as the paid companion to his curmudgeonly aunt, Lady Frinton. Lady Frinton is there to organize a 30th birthday party for Guy, who is still averse to socializing after the very public rejection of a marriage proposal he made nine years prior left him humiliated and heartbroken. He's not exactly keen on romance, either, but Lottie gradually earns his admiration by demonstrating her expertise with horses. With the house party underway, the pair go from comical sparring to sizzling attraction as Guy dodges the efforts of scheming society women to ensnare him in marriage. Down-to-earth Guy and resilient Lottie prove an endearing match and Heath puts in the work to make their cross-class romance believable. With a plot as rollicking as it is sweetly romantic, this is Regency-era romantic comedy done right.
