Publication Date: May 20, 2025
When everything is going right, something must go wrong
Vivienne Poppy’s plans are working out quite well. She’s run away from her family and the prospect of a horrid marriage of convenience and plans to spend her time writing under her pseudonym, Lady Larkby. Until she discovers the old Larkby title is not as dead as she thought.
Yeoman of the Guard and recently knighted Sir Sebastian Larkby is stunned to discover a Lady Larkby that he does not remember marrying. Suddenly Vivienne is left with a choice: relinquish her pen name, expose her true identity, and break Sebastian’s dying grandmother’s heart—or feign marriage to Sebastian to keep the title and fulfill the old woman’s wishes.
This witty novel from award-winning author Grace Hitchcock is filled with scandal, mishap, and just the right amount of romance.
“A rollicking Regency with romance, danger, humor, and unexpected plot twists you won’t want to miss!” —Crystal Caudill, Christy Award–winning author of Written in Secret
A spirited lady and a dastardly highwayman cross paths in an adventure leading to a humorous Regency romance.
Author Grace Hitchcock serves up the second installment in the Best Laid Plans series with To Kiss a Knight. Vivienne Poppy decides to leave home and a distasteful marriage prospect to pursue a solitary life writing under a pen name.
Her adventure starts when the stagecoach is robbed, and she is taken by a handsome highwayman. Using her pen name of Lady Larkby kicks off an amusing set of circumstances—especially when a certain unmarried gentleman known as Lord Larkby shows up.
With hints of suspense courtesy of the Prince Regent, the two characters engage in spirited conversations as their attraction sparks. However, Vivienne has an important decision that just might give her an unexpected happily ever after.
To Kiss a Knight offers the perfect set of ingredients for a delightful Regency romp, complete with a swoon-worthy hero who brings his lady’s dreams to life.
Grace Hitchcock is the award-winning author of To Catch a Coronet and multiple other historical novels and novellas. She holds a master’s degree in creative writing and a bachelor of arts in English with a minor in history. She lives near New Orleans with her husband, sons, and daughter.
