Lauren M. Hayworth
Love, transcending time.
Emotionally rich, character-driven romance.
“A good example of how historical can be a great story, and also teach us, and also make us think about the world we are living in now.
I kept thinking about Mary Balogh. . . . I had a great time reading it.”
Sarah MacLean
New York Times bestselling author and host of the Fated Mates podcast
on Favors from a Gentleman
“Hayworth builds characters that remain compelling, contemporary, and alive (amidst well-wrought, careful prose that’s inarguably rhythmic, poetic, and masterful).”
Eliza Dumais,
editor and author of Grape Juice
on The Lover’s Eye
“[W]arm and enjoyable
romance . . . heartfelt and entertaining.
[A] touch of Gothic darkness
that sets the novel apart from many Regency romances.”
