How to Be a Proper Lady

The second book in the Falcon Club series, 2012

To Laurie LaBean and Kimberly Van Horn, women I admire so deeply. For your encouragement, affection, and enthusiasm I am forever thankful.

And to Marquita Valentine, dear friend, in profound gratitude.

Conscience, the torturer of the soul, unseen,

Does fiercely brandish a sharp scourge within.
