To Shoot a Sinner (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994183717)

Readers will love To Shoot a Sinner, the first book in Lydia Margett's unapologetically feminist Regency romance trilogy: Dreamers and Dukes. "Delightfully sexy, rich in voice, emotionally resonant, and full of heart," Margett's writing brings a fresh new taste to the adored genre.

Lady Charlotte Aston was never taught how to fire a pistol. She certainly was never taught how to partake in a duel. And so, she never considered the possibility that she might find herself in such a situation: standing in a misty field at the crack of dawn, pistol in hand, opposite the king of London's underworld. The outcome of her next moments-the salvation or the destruction of her family.

Mr. Benjamin Scarsdale is too familiar with death to be daunted by the prospect of standing twenty paces downfield from a flying bullet. But his challenger's contempt for the capriciousness of life has Benjamin itching to teach him a lesson-how quickly one can find themselves out of charity with fate. However, when Benjamin's lesson lodges itself in the shoulder of Charlotte Aston and not her good-for-nothing brother, Benjamin finds she is not a problem he can solve and walk away from. Lady Charlotte Aston might just be the thing that unravels his entire empire.

A duel brings them together, and an unexpected proposition binds them, but will they be able to overcome the chasm that divides their worlds and give their love a shot?
