Go Down Swinging for Love: A Regency Historical Romance - Paperback

by Sandra Sookoo (Author)

It only takes one well-timed punch to change a man's life-for good or for ill. Make it count.

Alexander Stapleton, Viscount Wexley, is a man desperate to be remembered. As the middle brother of the famous Stapletons, he always feels inadequate in the boxing ring, but the need to make a name for himself outside the family business is a strong motivator, as is earning coin to fund the life he eventually wants. Too bad it's not as easy as he thought. Even more so when he makes a cake of himself when a pretty redhaired woman gives him a nod of encouragement.

Miss Lydia Tetford is a woman on a mission. Daughter of an English physician and a Scottish healer, she has no doubts that she was born to be a doctor. Aside from the pesky annoyance of being female and not taken seriously, her dreams are close to coming true. Until she meets a handsome man at an illegal boxing match who has been beaten bloody, and the distraction he exudes is undeniable even if he is a nodcock for boxing.

Though the pair is all too wrong for each other and moving in opposite directions in their future, the pull and connection of the instant bond they'd formed at their first meeting is difficult to deny. As Lydia becomes his new motivation and Alexander ignites her creativity and determination, their sparring changes into an exploratory courtship. But when her angry former fiancé arrives in London in pursuit of her, tempers flare.

Alexander might go down swinging, yet a solid romance is worth that... even when death is on the line.
