Inconveniences

Book 1

1859, London. Victoria is the Queen, England is finishing the Second Opium War with China, and Amelia Hemmings is 19 and still not married. She's shy, introverted, but also short tempered and sassy. She doesn't consider herself "wife material."
In an attempt to marry her off, Amy's cousin, Celine, and Uncle, John, force her to every dance imaginable. However, on one brutal night after a ball, Amy is thrown into a dark and most inconvenient world of arrogant millionaires, handsome men who run drug cartels, business, family secrets, and a violent rivalry.
All of this is thanks to a Mr Damien Lancaster.
Self made millionare.
Arrogant.
Cold.
Detached.
Rude.
Handsome.
Lethal.
Amy has to learn about all of her instincts to survive, but something comes up that makes her question herself. Should she be focused on saving her own life, or Mr Lancaster's?
