LUCK BE A LADY is Book 4 in the Rules for the Reckless
series by Meredith Duran. Set in Victorian England, LUCK BE A LADY
showcases Catherine Everleigh, a
spinster managing her family's auction house, and Nick
O'Shea, a merciless crime lord. The interplay between the
two is lively and engaging. The villains are well-played,
and the forces arrayed against our hero and heroine feel
believably nefarious. Fans of Courtney Milan and Tessa
Dare, if they don't already know and love Duran, will be
delighted to discover this book.
Catherine has been strictly raised from a young age by her
father to take over the appraisal duties at her family's
auction house in London. Unfortunately, her wastrel brother is the frontman
for the business and is
embezzling money for his own political aspirations.
Catherine cannot take control of her half of the auction
house unless she marries, but her evil brother is scheming
to marry her off to a crony who will prevent her from
working. Catherine proposes to O'Shea that they enter into
a secret and chaste marriage in order to blackmail her
brother.
Of course, this plan for a so-called 'white marriage' never works in
Romancelandia. The hero and the
heroine can't keep their hands off each other, and it's so
enjoyable to watch them fall in love and thwart their
enemies along the way. Catherine and O'Shea have great
chemistry. Watching Catherine try and fail to keep O'Shea
at arms length is incredibly satisfying. It's so
beautiful to watch the two become better people as they
grow closer as well. Duran is one of my go-to historical
romance authors whose work I always enjoy, and LUCK BE A LADY is no
exception.
Romance sizzles between a famous heiress and an infamous
crime lord in this fourth sexy novel in the Rules for the
Reckless series from the USA TODAY bestselling author
of Fool Me Twice.
THE WALLFLOWER They call
her the “Ice Queen.” Catherine Everleigh is London’s
loveliest heiress, but a bitter lesson in heartbreak has
taught her to keep to herself. All she wants is her
birthright—the auction house that was stolen from her. To
win this war, she’ll need a powerful ally. Who better than
infamous and merciless crime lord Nicholas O’Shea? A
marriage of convenience will no doubt serve them both.
THE CRIME LORD Having conquered the city’s
underworld, Nick seeks a new challenge. Marrying Catherine
will give him the appearance of legitimacy—and access to her
world of the law-abiding elite. No one needs to know he’s
coveted Catherine for a year now—their arrangement is
strictly business, free from the troubling weaknesses of
love. Seduction, however, is a different matter—an enticing
game he means to ensure she enjoys, whether she wishes to or
not. . . .
