Lieutenant Mayhew’s Catastrophes

By Emily Larkin

Take one dashing lieutenant, one adventurous young lady, and two mischievous kittens ... and what do you have? A recipe for disaster! Or perhaps for love...

When Lieutenant Mayhew boards the stagecoach bound for Southampton he anticipates an uneventful journey. True, he’s carrying kittens, but it’s only eighty miles. What could possibly go wrong?

He’s not expecting to meet the enchanting Miss Willemina Culpepper. Nor is he expecting the kittens to be quite so good at vanishing.

Mayhew has faced many challenges in his career as a soldier. Traveling from London to Southampton should not be a challenge. Except that it is. 

A humorous and delightfully heartwarming Regency romance from award-winning and USA Today bestselling author Emily Larkin.

Length: A long novella of 28,000 words

Heat level: A Regency romance with a mildly sensual love scene

If you love entertaining historical romances brimming with emotion, humor, and captivating characters, then this is the story for you!
