I Kissed a RogueThe third book in the Covent Garden Cubs series, “I Kissed a Rogue ” follows Brook Derring, the third Derring sibling and England’s best investigator. Tasked by the King himself to rescue Lady Lillian-Anne Lennox, Brook had no choice but follow.

Great at doing his job and even considered a bona fide hero by both aristocrats and commoners, Brook would have turned down the job except for the King’s orders. Lady Lillian-Anne Lennox, daughter of the Duke of Lennox broke his heart when she spurned her marriage proposal seven years ago!

With that as a premise, author Shana Galen has the reader hook from the first chapter! “I Kissed a Rogue ” is a historical romance, yet Brook and Lillian-Anne are relatable characters for us here living in the 21st century.
