Seduced by the prince
Dimitri Petrovich, Prince of Kuban, is unlike any man seamstress Evie Milham has ever met. Exotic and charismatic, he’s paying a visit to her sleepy country village. Yet one glimpse of the prince’s melting brown eyes and shy Evie’s heart races like never before...
Dimitri is no stranger to desire, and he knows innocent Evie wants him! Before he returns to his homeland, he must decide—resist Evie’s siren call, or give her pleasure beyond her wildest, hottest imaginings!
Out of the shadows, into the marriage bed!
In Regency England young women were defined by their prospects in the marriage market. But what of the girls who were presented to society...and not snapped up?
Bronwyn Scott invites you to
The Left Behind Girls Club
Three years after their debut, and still without rings on their fingers, Claire Welton, Evie Milham, May Worth and Beatrice Penrose are ready to leave the shadows and step into the light. Now London will have to prepare itself...because these overlooked girls are about to take the ton by storm!

A couple of years ago I read a non-fiction book that espoused the idea that if you do what you love, the rest will follow. This is a theme that many people struggle to balance with ‘reality’ through their lifetimes. Do we pursue our dreams even when we can’t see how those dreams will pay the bills or keep our families secure? Or do we ‘do the right thing’ and follow the traditional paths laid out by society?
I wanted to explore this theme with Evie and Dimitri’s story. They are both trapped by social expectations and have spent their lives living up—or, in Evie’s case, living down—to those standards at great personal cost to themselves. Their relationship allows both of them to explore who they truly want to be.
Of course it’s easy to say ‘follow your dreams’. The truth is, the reality of doing it is a lot harder. What I like best about this story is that Dimitri and Evie don’t simply say, ‘To hell with society—we’ll strike out for ourselves.’ That’s not how it works for them—or for us. What makes this story special is how they find a way through all that without compromising and without jeopardising others—ultimately, this is a story about love’s great balancing act.
I hope you enjoy Evie and the Prince of Kuban in their story. Here’s a teaser for you—look for May and Beatrice’s stories next, and beyond that look for a chance to meet four other Princes of Kuban in a new Bronwyn Scott series.
