Alongside Felicia Davin, hear TJ discuss the genderfluid love story, marriage of convenience, gossip-fueled scheme, and a mysterious poet.
Settle in for a celebration of TJ Alexander’s latest release, A Lady for All Seasons. In conversation with romance writer Felicia Davin, hear TJ talk all things queer romance, Regency-era mischief, and the joys of writing characters who gleefully bend society’s rules. Expect witty banter, behind-the-scenes insights, and plenty of swoon-worthy discussion about love, identity, and happily-ever-afters that refuse to behave.
A Lady for All Seasons is a sharp, joyful Regency romp starring the brilliant and resourceful Verbena Montrose, who’s determined to marry for survival—if not for love—after her family fortune disappears. A marriage of convenience, a gossip-fueled scheme, a mysterious poet with a secret identity (or two), and a genderfluid love story collide in a tale that’s as romantic as it is riotous. Come celebrate this clever novel and spend an evening with the author behind the charm.
Tickets include your very own copy of A Lady for All Seasons.

ABOUT A LADY FOR ALL SEASONS
From the acclaimed author of Chef’s Kiss and A Gentleman’s Gentleman comes a riotous Regency romp, featuring a charming and unforgettable genderfluid lead.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman who has lost her fortune must be in need (not want) of a husband. Beautiful, cunning Verbena Montrose must marry to save herself and her odious family from abject poverty. Fortunately, what she lacks in a dowry, she makes up for in the currency of gossip.
When she hears an alarming rumor about her very dear, very queer friend Étienne that could ruin him, she comes to his aid with a proposal—for a marriage of convenience, that is. But when Verbena discovers that a mysterious and celebrated poet by the name of Flora Witcombe has been publishing verses that hint she is onto their scheme, Verbena has no choice but to pretend to be a poet herself to confront her in a local salon. And—unexpectedly—be charmed by her.
Flora, in turn, is terrified by and smitten with Verbena in equal measure. But she holds a secret of her own: he is also William Forsyth, a struggling novelist and fifth son of a minor noble family. And if circumstances don’t allow Flora to woo Verbena, perhaps William can. Faced with two suitors and a fiancé, Verbena, who has always had to be clever to survive in society, starts to realize she may need to think outside of society’s constraints to find true happiness.
