In return, she wants him to do her deflowering. When Beast follows Hattie to the house of ill repute, she makes him a deal. She unties Beast, gives him a kiss, and pushes him out of her carriage. Hattie quickly figures out that the thief is her brother. He's also a very dangerous man who runs a business out of Covent Garden and, someone has been stealing from him. He is the handsomest man Hattie has ever seen. When Hattie and her friend Nora sneak out of Hattie's Mayfair home for the deflowering, they find the Beast unconscious and tied up (badly) in the family coach. Whit is known in Covent Garden by his nickname, "Beast". So, she's decided that the first order of business is to be deflowered. She knows that at her age the only thing that will attract a man is her dowry and she doesn't want that. Her nose is a little too big and she's slightly chubby.
But, she also has decided she wants to remain single. Her brother, to whom the business normally would pass on, is not naturally adept at business.
She wants to inherit her father's shipping business and she has the know-how to run it. To that end, she's written a vague list to remind her of what she plans to work on. In Brazen and the Beast, Hattie (Lady Henrietta) is about to turn 29 and has decided to make the next year of her life "The Year of Hattie". Brazen and the Beast is now a DNF at 139 pages out of nearly 400, so I'm going to go ahead and write about it on time (but a little later in the day than I normally would). including their hearts.Note: I posted earlier about not being able to finish this book due to a migraine (which I still have, although it's at least a lesser migraine, at this point). and neither of them sees that if they're not careful, they'll have no choice but to give up everything. She won't give up her plans he won't give up his power. Soon, Hattie and Whit find themselves rivals in business and pleasure. He is more than happy to offer Hattie all she desires.for a price. When he wakes in a carriage at Hattie's feet, Whit, a king of Covent Garden known to all the world as Beast, can't help but wonder about the strange woman who frees him-especially when he discovers she's headed for a night of pleasure. Everything is going perfectly.until she discovers the most beautiful man she's ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin the Year of Hattie before it's even begun. But first, she intends to experience a taste of the pleasure she'll forgo as a confirmed spinster. When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her twenty-ninth year her own, she has plans to inherit her father's business, to make her own fortune, and to live her own life. New York Times Bestselling Author Sarah MacLean returns with the next book in the Bareknuckle Bastards series about three brothers bound by a secret that they cannot escape - and the women who bring them to their knees.
