Ensnared by Innocence - Large Print Steamy Regency Shapeshifter

Oh, the angst! Changing into a lion isn't all fur and games. A Regency lord battles his inner beast while helping an innocent miss, never dreaming how he'll come to care for the chit-nor how being near his world will deliver danger right to her doorstep. If Darcy possessed a roaring libido and grappled with feline curses... Lady Francine Montfort may have led a sheltered life till her parents' untimely demise but that doesn't mean she's ignorant. Neither is she blind to the conniving ways of her persistent aunt, who's determined to marry Francine off for her own selfish gain. Forced to drastic measures to avoid the wretched woman's scheming, Francine concocts her own masterful plan. She might need to beg a favor from Lord Blakely-the sinfully alluring marquis who inspires all manner of illicit thoughts-but she's determined to help him as well. To ease those mysterious, haunting secrets that torment him so... When Lady Francine, the epitome of innocence, requests he pose as her betrothed, Blakely knows he should handily refuse. He's baffled when unfamiliar, protective urges make themselves known, tempting him to agree while danger stalks ever closer. Alas, it's fast approaching the season when Blakely loses all control. Either Francine satisfies his sexual appetites or he'll be forced to reveal his beastly side. And that will never do. Not now that he's come to care for the intrepid miss.
