Between social calamities, forbidden love, and daring escapades, these young women will have to hatch an audacious scheme if they hope to salvage their season and their chances at true love. Passion, intrigue, and a few unexpected twists await. What could possibly gowrong?Look inside to begin reading now!A Lady’s Scheme is the amusing first novel in the Best Laid Plans series of historical romantic comedy. If you love historical romance with strong female leads, humor, hijinks, and swoon-worthy romance with mature themes, this book is for you. It is recommended for ages 17 and up due to infrequent strong language and sexual situations.Interview with the author:Q. What makes the Best Laid Plans series so special?A. It’s a mixture of things, I think. I began writing this series for my friends, detailing what zany adventures our daughters might have had if they’d been alive during the Regency and Victorian eras, plus I wanted to create something I’d enjoy reading myself. I usually choose humor and intrigue, so you’ll see those aspects sprinkled throughout the series. I’m also a sucker for love triangles, second chances, enemies to lovers, strong female characters, and friendship as a whole, so if you can also show me character growth along with it, then I’m a happy reader. If there was a Historical Romantic Comedy genre, my books would fall into that category for sure!As the series progresses through the Victorian period and beyond, the characters change as do the plotlines whether it’s spies, criminals, amnesia, etc. but the strong female characters and hilarious antics continue on in a way that has been extremely entertaining to write.Q. What order should I read the books in?A. Great question! There are a few different options, actually. Book 2, A Lady’s Choice, is a prequel and can be read first, second, or even last, although I’d suggest reading it towards the beginning as those main characters pop up in quite a few of the first books peripherally. Book 4, A Lady’s Wedding can be read after book 1, A Lady’s Scheme, or you can wait and read it after book 3, A Lady’s Rake. Although they are all part of the universe and incorporate members from the same three families popping in and out of other character’s stories, each book can be read as a standalone.A Lady’s SchemeA Lady’s Choice (prequel)A Lady’s RakeA Lady’s WeddingA Lady’s SpyA Lady’s RefrainA Lady’s ProseA Lady’s ResolveA Lady’s ArrangementA Lady’s RemedyA Lady’s Mischief (prequel)A Lady’s ScreamA Lady’s AdventureA Lady’s AmbitionA Lady’s DestinyA Lady’s DeceptionThe chronological order of the books is as follows if you’d rather read them that way:A Lady’s Choice (1799)A Lady’s Mischief (1812)A Lady’s Scheme (1818)A Lady’s Scream (1818)A Lady’s Wedding (1818)A Lady’s Spy (1823)A Lady’s Rake (1837)A Lady’s Adventure (1837)A Lady’s Refrain (1842)A Lady’s Resolve (1856)A Lady’s Prose (1863)A Lady’s Deception (1876)A Lady’s Arrangement (1882)A Lady’s Ambition (1892)A Lady’s Destiny (1893)A Lady’s Remedy (1901)
