  LOVING THE HAWKE
  
  A Victorian Romance
  
  LANA WILLIAMS
  
  After five seasons as a wallflower, Lettie Fairchild is resigned to
  spinsterhood. Mostly. Determined to claim more meaning for her life than
  seeing her younger sisters married, she seeks a purpose. She finds what she’s
  looking for when she happens upon a book describing seven curses that plague
  London.
  
  Nathaniel Hawke is attempting to adjust to civilian life after retiring from
  the military, but his injured leg and memories of his time in the service
  prevent an easy transition. On his long walks during London’s darkest hours,
  Nathaniel is appalled by what he sees taking place on the dirty streets and
  alleyways. He is determined to take action. Coming upon a proper, if
  rebellious, lady in the desolate area both intrigues and frustrates him.
  
  Nathaniel’s disregard for his personal safety infuriates Lettie even as her
  heart is touched by his determination to aid the city’s neglected children.
