Publisher's summary
An entertaining story full of romance and intrigue, A Lady's Dream follows along as our heroine attempts to solve the mystery of the stranger whom she rescued from certain death with twin four-year-olds in tow.
Miss Eva Smith is enjoying a holiday in the countryside with her twin nieces while their parents are out of the country and what should be a relaxing time together turns into something quite different, indeed. Within the first week, they witness a crime and Eva is forced to involve herself in a rescue attempt she wouldn’t prefer, rescuing a man who can’t remember anything about his mysterious past; a man who for the last month has shown up often in her dreams.
Will Eva and her nieces solve the mystery of the man’s identity before his past catches up with him and brings danger to them all, and what will happen if her dreams and reality collide, muddling her emotions, and she ends up falling for a man she can’t have?
Look inside to begin reading now!
*A Lady's Dream is the comical eighteenth novel in the Best Laid Plans series of historical romance. If you love romance with strong female leads, humor, and suspense, this book is for you. It's recommended for ages 17+ due to strong language and sexual situations.
Interview with the author:
Q. What makes the Best Laid Plans series so special?
A. It’s a mixture of things, I think. I began writing this series for my friends, detailing what zany adventures our daughters might have had if they’d been alive during the Regency and Victorian eras, plus I wanted to create something I’d enjoy reading myself. I usually choose humor and intrigue, so you’ll see those aspects sprinkled throughout the series. I’m also a sucker for love triangles, second chances, enemies to lovers, strong female characters, and friendship as a whole, so if you can also show me character growth along with it, then I’m a happy reader.
As the series progresses through the Victorian period and beyond, the characters change as do the plotlines whether it’s spies, criminals, amnesia, etc. but the strong female characters and hilarious antics continue on in a way that has been extremely entertaining to write.
Q. What order should I read the books in?
A. Great question! There are a few different options, actually. Book 2, A Lady’s Choice, is a prequel and can be read first, second, or even last, although I’d suggest reading it towards the beginning as those main characters pop up in quite a few of the first books peripherally. Book 4, A Lady’s Wedding can be read after book 1, A Lady’s Scheme, or you can wait and read it after book 3, A Lady’s Rake. The rest (so far) can be read in order.

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint.

Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.
