In a world stitched tight with secrets, one woman rips apart the seams . . . Bordeaux, 1894. Minerva Hawkins is a corset maker with nimble hands, a defiant spirit--and a secret that could upend an entire noble lineage. When blackmailed by the cold and calculating Superintendent Raeburn, who claims she's heir to a Scottish earldom and her mother is captive in his asylum, Minerva is desperate. She turns to the only man daring enough to help: Étienne Sansecours, a former criminal with a past as dangerous as her future. Their flight across France to the windswept reaches of England and Scotland crackles with danger, deceit, and undeniable desire. But as sparks fly and threats close in, Étienne is imprisoned, Minerva is kidnapped, and Raeburn's twisted grip tightens. As Minerva fights for her freedom and Étienne's release, will she discover that love, like the perfect corset, can both confine and set you free? From dark asylums to Highland rescues and scorching encounters, The Corset Girls Unbound unravels a tale of resilience, romance, and reinvention. Passion, peril, and the power of a second chance--this is historical romance with bite.
