A Lady's Undoing
Lorelai Ryan
The suffragette and the rake!Lady Helen never thought sneaking out of her family’s London abode to attend an after-dark suffragette meeting would be easy. But, although her ill-fitting trousers are almost as uncomfortable as wearing her corset, so far she’s masterfully avoided every creaking floorboard completely unnoticed. Except, that is, by her neighbour, the devilishly handsome, Arthur Crawley.It seems that Helena is the only London’s heiress not to have accompanied Arthur to this season’s soirees – and at this moment in time Arthur isn’t quite sure how he’s allowed that to happen. Those men’s trousers, cinched in with a silk ribbon, are hugging her curves in a most tantalizing way…Threatened with imprisonment for her courageous actions, Arthur steps in to protect Helena in the only way he knows how – strip away her disguise and seduce her, right there in the middle of the street. After all, a lady standing on the street in her flimsy nightwear is the last person to be suspected as a suffragette!And however much Helena fights the infuriating flares of desire, it seems the rake could very well become this rebel’s undoing…

LORELAI RYAN
lives in her head most of the time, or in a book or in a mad frenzy. The rest of the time she lives in the North East of England with her handsome hero husband and two dream-come-true daughters. She has a diploma in Creative Writing and Literature but currently works in IT.
In her spare time she daydreams (a lot), reads a wide variety of books and attempts to learn to crochet. She spends weekends thinking of fun things to do with her family and sharing the love of reading with them too.
I’d like to dedicate this book to all my wonderful family. Especially to my husband who supports me every time I choose writing over ironing (which is often) and my daughters who cuddle me whenever my writing isn’t going to plan. I couldn’t do any of this without all of their smiles and love to keep me going.
I’d also like to thank all the eyes that have read this story and given me invaluable feedback to get it where it is today (they know who they are). And also a massive thanks to Carina UK for taking a chance on me and my book.
