A Lyon of Her Own
He’s determined to find out the truth…
Alexander Douglas, the fifth Earl of Wrotham, returns home from the war to discover his estate in financial ruin, thanks to his late father’s greedy mistress. Convinced that Mrs. Dorothy Marble duped his father out of huge sums of money and forced him to sign over one of the family’s townhouses, Alex makes it his mission to expose her as the criminal she is. With a widowed mother and younger siblings to support, Alex enters the notorious Lyon’s Den to use his considerable skill at cards to win enough to repay the creditors. When he encounters a mysterious young man who manages to beat everyone he plays, Alex uncovers the youthful cardsharp’s clever ruse.
She’s determined to hide the truth…
Lady Priscilla Gifford despairs she will never find a husband. Her well-meaning but overbearing mother insists on purchasing horrible gowns that make Priscilla and her sisters look like puffed-up peacocks. Worse still, Priscilla and her sisters must perform in endless musicales, even though they have no musical talent. Between the dismal dresses and pitiful performances, Priscilla is finding it a challenge to control her stutter, something she’s had since childhood. Tired of being the focus of the ton’s ridicule and determined to break free, Priscilla devises a plan to boost her financial independence and bolster her self-confidence, a daring plan that requires the discrete assistance of Mrs. Dove-Lyon, the matron of the infamous Lyon’s Den. When she encounters Alex at the Den, Priscilla realizes the earl is as clever as he is handsome.
But as feelings begin to bloom between Priscilla and Alex, a sinister plot threatens to destroy any future they might have.
Praise from readers

★★★★★ “Another great book. What makes me the happiest about this book is it’s a clean romance. They are hard to come by and this had romance and a mystery. Loved The Lyon’s Den series by Anna St.Claire.” ~ Jeannie Long
★★★★★ “What a fabulous story in The Lyon's Den series. A Lyon of Her Own will keep your attention as it takes you on a rollercoaster ride that weaves a story from beginning to end with threads of intrigue, violence and a villain who is cold and calculating. Anna St Claire has given readers a book that is well-written, filled it with great cast of characters that come off the pages and pull you into this emotional ride that keeps you involved until the very end. With setting descriptions and action sequences that are wonderfully vivid that brings the story to life and as the uncertainties escalates the suspense builds and danger abound which brings this read together perfectly with Mrs. Dove-Lyon happy ever after ending.” ~ Kindle Customer 123
★★★★★ “This is a wonderful addition to “The Lyon’s Den”. I have read most of the series and I have to say Anna St. Claire’s are my favorites. I love that she includes dogs in her stories. They are always so cute. The main characters and the side characters are done so well you can’t help but get dragged into the story. This one some twists I didn’t expect, so that was fun. I really like this author and have her on my auto buy list. Never have I not absolutely loved her books. I highly recommend this book and all her others.” ~ Laa
★★★★★ “Another well written long novella from the author, the characters are well portrayed & the pace is good. There’s also the mystery about Alex’s father. Bessie doesn't take centre stage in this book & there's no bet to be won or lost, which made it different. I loved both Alex & Priscilla who are attracted to each other from their first meeting & thoroughly enjoyed their journey to a HEA. I also enjoyed the mystery, the villains were horrid & did get their just desserts. Throw in an orphan with a very protective dog & I was one happy reader.” ~ Janet
