Exceptionally Unconventional
The Honorable Miss Lucilla Iverson is an exceptionally unconventional young heiress trying her best to be unexceptionally conventional despite her love of horses and racing curricles. When she attracts the attention of a hardened older bachelor, a duke, no less, it sets the ton afire with anticipation.
Many young bucks seek her approval, including a notorious (and now penniless) gamester who intends to marry Miss Iverson and her money whether or not she agrees. On an inside track for Lucilla’s attention is Oliver, Lord Hartwell, despite a near miss at running her over while driving his phaeton in the company of his cousin, the handsome and mysterious duke. Which of the three will win her heart and hand, to live happily ever after? That is the question!
The Story Behind This Book
I began writing this book when my mum was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, a disease she had been fighting on and off since 2011. I am so grateful that she was able to read it before she passed away, even though she never got to see it published. It was accepted for publishing just three months after she passed away in December of 2021
Praise and Reviews
Victoria Clarke's unique voice puts you in the room of this lively Regency romance. The lovely and level-headed Miss Lucilla Iverson is a shock to the polite world—a young female with a head on her shoulders. And which of her many suiters will win her heart? This compelling read had me turning the pages. By the time I reached the Epilogue, I realized I had a smile on my face. There were many unexpected little twists, especially in the last few pages. I highly recommend.

I’m hoping this is just the beginning of a series. It would be wonderful to see what happens to Edward and the Duke.
