So when Evan Carlton, the powerful, popular Earl of Westfeld, singles her out upon his return to England, she knows what it means. Her former tormenter is up to his old tricks, and she's his intended victim. This time, though, the earl is going to discover that wallflowers can fight back.

And this time, what torments him might be love... Unlocked is a novella of 28,000 words (about 111 pages). ### Review “By far one of the best heroes this reviewer has ever read... Milan’s talent for writing multidimensional characters and vibrant settings is put to excellent use.” - RT Book Reviews ### About the Author Courtney Milan’s debut novel was published in 2010 to instant critical acclaim. Now a *New York Times* and a *USA Today* bestseller, her books have also received starred reviews from *Publishers Weekly* and *Booklist*. Her second book was a *Publishers Weekly* Best Book of 2010. She has been a RITA® finalist and an RT Reviewer’s Choice nominee for Best First Historical Romance. Courtney lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, a medium-sized dog, and an attack cat. Before she started writing historical romance, she experimented with various occupations: computer programming, dog-training, scientificating... Having given up on being able to do any of those things, she’s taken to heart the axiom that those who can’t do, teach. When she’s not reading (lots), writing (lots), or sleeping (not enough), she can be found in the vicinity of a classroom.
