A delicious mix of Regency romance and shapeshifting adventure from author Susanna Allen

Held captive as a spectacle, Alwyn Ap Lewin, Duke of Llewelyn languished for decades in Phineas Drake's Equestrian Spectacular And Exotic Traveling Menagerie. Now escaped, he refuses to reassume his lion skin under any circumstances. His health declines by the day, but he'd rather die free than live captive ever again. Nevertheless, the Prince Regent decrees that the Welsh duke be sent to the Duke of Lowell's home village, Lowell Close, to recover.

Tabitha Barrington is thrilled that her brother Timothy has secured a position as tutor at Lowell Hall — even if she is not pleased to be home in England after years spent traveling the Continent, honing her skills as a lady apothecary to keep them from penury. Despite feeling unfufilled in Lowell Close, she agrees to help heal the Shapeshifting duke.

As his senses recover and his powers return, will the duke go rogue — or roguish? Tabitha sees Alwyn like no one ever has, and with the duke in her care, she might finally have a reason to stay.
