A British officer's life is saved when a young woman and her dog risk their lives and rescue him from beneath dead bodies, while trying to escape the New Orleans battlefield before shooting begins. Welcome to book 1 in the new Rakes of Mayhem series from bestselling author Anna St. Claire! Colonel Matthew Romney, a favored son with the British military, is gravely wounded during the Battle of New Orleans. With most available British forces dead and his weak pleas for help muffled beneath the dead soldier he lies below, the British report him missing in the aftermath. Bethany Phillips and her dog visit the Villeré Plantation's gardens searching for herbs and food and unexpectedly become caught in the crossfire of grapeshot and cannon fire and forced to take cover until the battle ends. When the smoke clears, Bethany follows the sound of a man's moans and pulls him from beneath a pile of dead soldiers being readied for a mass grave. Bethany saves Matthew's life but in doing so, threatens her heart and her own life. Against all odds, sparks fly between Matthew and Bethany. A hired investigator for his father finds Matthew and encourages him to journey home. Matthew and Bethany leave the safety of her home and travel a dangerous path through the wilderness of America and across a ravaged, war-torn ocean to reach his family.

Autorenporträt
Who knew I'd become an author? Not me. But when the opportunity knocked, I answered the door and welcomed it in. I approach life with as much positivity as I can-celebrating the hits and laughing at the misses. Nothing worthwhile is easy, and that includes everything in my life. But I have much to smile about-my lovely mother, a beautiful daughter, two precious granddaughters, my adorable dogs, and my sweet husband of over thirty years. He has always supported me-including uprooting to move to the other side of Charlotte, N.C. for a life change, just when we thought we were settled.If settled means not going after my dreams, then I never want to be settled. I give my all to things I enjoy-and that includes writing. In 2021, I hit the USA Today Bestselling Author list, and recently, two of my books were named RONE Finalists!I love to express myself to the point that my daughter avoids going to the movies with me because I'm that woman in the row in front of you who gleefully munches her popcorn and laughs at every hilarious scene. Loudly. Besides my family, I love chocolate, popcorn, laughter, and animals. I love animals so much that I frequently sprinkle them in my stories as secondary characters. They usually steal the show! British and American history have always interested me, so writing historical romances set in the U.K. and the US is where my passion is.When I was barely three years old, my parents divorced, and my mom moved my sister and me from New York to South Carolina to live near her parents. Juggling a full-time job and full-time school, my mother became my first genuine hero-she never waved the white flag when things were tough. And things quickly got tough. My grandmother, who helped care for my sister and me while my mother worked, became ill with cancer, and didn't survive the surgery, dying before I was seven. Losing Grandma devastated me. She read to me and taught me to read before I started first grade. I credit her for inspiring my love of reading, and I credit my mother for encouraging me to turn my ideas into stories.When I was ten, my neighbor gave me her book club copy of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind and it remains one of my favorite books. But it was Kathleen Woodiwiss' Shanna and Ashes in the Wind, that hooked me on historical romance and sparked my dream of becoming a published author.While I primarily write Regency Romance, I enjoy almost any period in American and British history.
