About this eBook

“Sweet and Spicy!!! Such a gem!...with every story Mrs. Lyons writes, I’m left with a smile.” Krysta Reviews

This is such an AMAZING story … compelling to read.” Reader Review  

Part 1 of 3; the HEA occurs in the third installment, Daring Declarations.


A desperate widow dares greatly…

Penniless since her husband’s demise and now ousted from her home by his indifferent heir, a young widow reaches her wits’ end—the end of her meager food stores, certainly. When her friend, a diamond of the demimonde, arranges a protector for Thea, she can do naught but agree. ’Tis that or starve.

But what happens when her previously passionless existence is challenged by the titled lord who now owns her favors? The brusque, rough-around-the-edges Marquis keeps to himself, is annoyingly silent, but kisses like a dream and Thea soon falls for the mysterious man she knows nothing about… Save for his generous nature, lusty sense of humor, and the grand accommodations he’s provided.

As to the man himself? Secrets abound and Thea fears she may have exchanged homelessness for heartbreak.


Jane Austen fans who like to laugh out loud and always wished her fun and witty books had more heat are likely to enjoy this sweet and spicy Regency romance series told in three parts: Seductive Silence, Lusty Letters, and Daring Declarations.


Seductive Silence is Book 1 of 3 the Mistress in the Making series; the HEA is in Book 3, Daring Declarations.


“I recommend all three of the Mistress in the Making books to anyone who enjoys electric passion, witty humor, and a beautiful love story!” Reading Rebel Reviews


“I did so enjoy reading all three books about the growing love between Thea and Daniel. They were funny and well written and I can’t wait to read more of this author’s books. Highly recommended reads and definitely keepers!” Five-Star UK Reviewer

I liked this short story or maybe just introduction to the series. Lovely characters and entertaining storyline. He doesn’t want to be in the public and she will enter any arrangement to make her life a little bit easier. They found that they were really good match. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Daniel, Lord Tremayne, has a terrible stammer and hides his troubles by limiting his speech and having a few close friends. That is until he is introduced to the widow Dorothea. She too has also had a sad and sheltered life and due to destitution and with the help of her friend, she decides on the course of seduction and agrees to become Daniel's mistress. I like the way the author deals with this difficult condition and I liked Daniel, particularly when he comes head to head with someone with the same affliction. I truly felt for him as I did for Dorothea in her reduced cirmstances but I feel very short changed by the abrupt and cliff hanger ending.

Daniel Holbrook, Marquis of Tremayne, needs a new mistress. Thea Hurwell is a widow with no means of support. Destitute, she owes rent for her room in Seven Dials and needs to get away from her abusive landlord. With very little to eat and no hope for a job, she meets a mistress who persuades her to become one to a specific gentleman. Thea is thankful to have a home and someone to take care of her. Daniel just wants a mistress, until he realizes she is an innocent, though married for eight years. The first book in the series continues in Lusty Letters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
