A spirited lady is determined to wed a notorious outlaw in this sexy Victorian romance series debut. 
 
Bored with stuffy balls and pompous suitors, Miss Natalie Haislett longs for adventure—and dreams of marrying the Black Knight, a mysterious thief who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. To this end, she approaches the renowned rakehell Jonathan Drake, reputed to be a friend of Natalie’s would-be lover, and begs him for an introduction . . . unaware that the outlaw she so desires is as close to her as a kiss. 
 
Intrigued by Natalie’s devotion and determination—and intending to use the unsuspecting beauty to pull off a brazen jewel theft—Drake agrees to escort Natalie to France, where the Black Knight is rumored to be. But while traveling in the guise of a married couple, an intimate friendship blossoms and the fires of reckless passion are stoked—as the daring bandit sets his sights on the priceless treasure he knows he must purloin: his lady’s heart.

Blooming Alone

Laura Sinclair

Description：
For her entire life, Sunny Wells has been in Julian's hands.

He named her. He chose her major. He got her a job. He decided what she ate, what she wore, who she spent time with — and called it love.

When he found someone who challenged him intellectually and left Sunny behind, she had no idea how to exist without him. She had never learned.

Then a car accident gave her one terrifying, clarifying moment: she did not want to die. She had not yet lived.

*Blooming Alone* is the story of what Sunny builds next — through failed assignments, late nights, a competition she enters expecting to lose, and a prestigious career she earns entirely on her own.

By the time Julian comes back to say he made a mistake, Sunny has found something far more valuable than his apology.

She has found herself.
