"Hot, smart, funny, and charming as hell" - Alix E. Harrow on THE HALIFAX HELLIONS series.



The final novella in Alexandra Vasti's Halifax Hellions series.



In 1811, Winifred Wallace told one lie. To secure her future as an independent sheep farmer, she invented an estranged husband named Mr. Spencer Halifax and forged their marriage record. Ten years later, her deception catches up with her: in the form of the disturbingly real, distressingly attractive earl on her doorstep.



Spencer Halifax wants to set a good example for his beloved hellion sisters. Ever since their father's death, he's tried to play the role of sensible earl - and involving himself with a felonious sheep farmer is decidedly not sensible. But Winnie's passion and fierce self-reliance draws him in, even as her closely guarded secrets keep him out.



When Spencer asks Winnie to travel with him to London to disentangle their semi-legal union, she's horrified. London is where her mother stole several lavish necklaces from noblemen. But she cannot pass up the chance to return the stolen jewelry.



Though returning the gems is more difficult than Winnie imagined, and she soon realizes that the only way forward is to trust Spencer with the truth of her past. Even if doing so threatens their pretend marriage and the all-too-real feelings between them.



Alexandra Vastiloves coffee, beignets, and books, in no particular order. She is the author of Ne'er Duke Well and the Halifax Hellions series. In between writing swoony Regency romances with hijinks and heart, she teaches British and Caribbean literature in New Orleans.

Alexandra Vasti is one of the best historical romance authors working today. Her Halifax Hellions series is unique, inventive, hilarious, and genuinely delightful. Superbly written and sensationally funny, each novella is like one of those divine chocolates wrapped in foil and containing a lusciously rich center-a real treat



Delightful, truly scrumptious-like if Lisa Kleypas and Tessa Dare had a sexy baby. Alexandra Vasti is my favorite writer, full-stop



The Halifax Hellions series is everything you want a historical romance to be: emotional and sexy and full of thrilling hijinks, with jaw-dropping prose that transports you in every possible way. Each sibling and their partner has a unique journey, but there's an undeniable thread of finding radical acceptance in love that ties the three together beautifully. Alexandra Vasti has easily secured her place as a superstar in the genre



I rooted for each of the Halifax Hellions from the very first page. It was an incandescent pleasure to watch all three of their men come completely undone-none of them see it coming and they each fall beautifully. Perfect for anyone who loves Tessa Dare but with a fresh voice wholly her own. I will pick up anything Alexandra writes.



The Halifax Hellions are the very definition of good things coming in small packages. Filled to the brim with heart and heat, these absolutely delicious stories are not only ideal comfort reads but masterclasses in novella writing. I'm forever in awe of Alexandra Vasti's talent.
