‘Lisa Kleypas is the best’ Sarah MacLean
A woman who defies her time . . .
Dr. Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man – why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair, until now. Ethan Ransom, a former detective for Scotland Yard, is as gallant as he is secretive, a rumoured assassin whose true loyalties are a mystery. For one exhilarating night, they give in to their potent attraction before becoming strangers again.
A man who breaks every rule . . .
As a Ravenel by-blow spurned by his father, Ethan has little interest in polite society, yet he is captivated by the bold and beautiful Garrett. Despite their vow to resist each other after that sublime night, she is soon drawn into his most dangerous assignment yet. When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett’s skill and courage to save him. As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he’s ever known.

Kleypas is at the top of her game. A truly romantic tale
Deeply romantic and spiced with danger, Lisa Kleypas' Hello Stranger will make readers swoon . . . Kleypas' elegant, assured prose and attentive characterisation adorn every page of Hello Stranger. This is a fabulous love story with a perfectly matched pair at its heart.
Another winner in Kleypas' Ravenels series, with elegant prose, a fascinating heroine, and a Victorian London constructed with compelling historical detail
Kleypas is an amazing writer. In my opinion, she might be the most technically skilled historical romance author out there
Kleypas will continue to win readers' hearts in book four of the Ravenels...It's not just the wonderful love story or the fantastic chemistry and heat between the characters, it's the depth of emotion Kleypas infuses into her unconventional characters...Kleypas makes you feel every intense moment; each heated kiss and all the thrilling action as you race to the perfect ending. There is nothing quite like a Kleypas romance.
