A Rogue of One's Own

Lady Lucie and her band of Oxford suffragists have pooled their money and bought enough capital to take control of one of London's major publishing houses. Their plan is to use it as a weapon against Parliament and push the cause of votes for women. One man stands in the way.

That man is Lord Ballentine, called Tristan, London's best-known lord of sin and an old nemesis of Lucie's. He is willing to give up control, but his price is outrageous: one night in her bed. Lucie has to decide how far she will go for the cause, and how to beat him without paying it.

This is a historical romance, and the second half of the setup is an enemies-to-lovers contest. Lucie and Tristan trade barbs and strategies in the boardroom and the bedchamber. Tristan's feelings for her have smoldered for a long time, and the seducer risks being caught in his own trap.

The book belongs to a series called A League of Extraordinary Women, and it mixes friendship, politics and period detail with the love story. Expect banter, rivalry and a battle of wills, with a political goal pressing on every scene.
