Mr. Peter Spencer isn't interested in anything but his music, until, that is, a most unlikely lady touches his soul. She reminds him of a perfectly made violin that's languished untuned for far too long. Unfortunately, she also intimidates the hell out of him. Lady Starling has lost hope and faith in everything around her. Love only betrays, it never fulfills its promise. Can Peter convince her to trust her heart or will she turn her back on a future with the man of her dreams? Cocky Brother, was initially published in December 2020 under the title Mayfair Maidens. The COCKY BROTHER version includes bonus content and it is Book 4 of the Regency Cocky Gents series. The hero, Peter Spencer, is Stone's--AKA Cocky Mister's--brother. It can be read as a standalone or with the series. I hope those of you who read the first version love the new scenes as much as I do!

Cocky Brother is another story in the Cocky Gents series. Mr. Peter Spencer is the hero in this novella. He was previously a supporting character in the Regency Cocky Gents and Lord Love a Lady. I liked his character. He is the third son and devoted to playing the cello. When he meets the widow Lady Starling he is drawn to her.  But will he choose her or his music? Lady Starling is a sad character, and I had a hard time liking her at first. She uses men’s bodies like handkerchiefs. Will she change her ways or stay shallow and vapid? Steamy scenes abound in this story. Overall, a well-written novella.
