Don't keep me in suspense! I'm wondering if it's one of my favorite authors 'cuz that name sticks out to me but I was way off last week and feel like hedging my bets.

Dls it's a historical-pnr mix... kind of, more of the HR though.
She realized she had spoken aloud when Poppy looked at her thoughtfully. "Then he is kind to you?"
Heroine forced her hands open, thought of cool things, calm things, "I have no complaints in that regard."
Daisy leaned in. "Enough dreary thoughts of death and violence." Her blue eyes went catlike. "Let us get to the heart of the matter. Have you any complaints in regards to the bedroom?"
Poppy snorted in disgust as Heroine licked her lips and wished for more tea.
Daisy grinned saucily. "To be sure, the mask is rather... unsettling, but I must say, the body is"- her light voice dipped to a low purr - "stirring. All broad shouldered and trim of waist." Her voluptuous curves wriggled a bit on the seat. "And tall enough to overpower a lady with ease."
"Daisy." Poppy warned sharply.
Daisy went on with a Cheshire cat grin. "Admit it. Lord Hero cuts quite a delicious figure. I'd overlook the mask to ride such a body. How very wicked to bed a masked man."
"Oh good God, Daisy Margaret!"
Daisy ignored Poppy. "Well, then? Am I wrong?"
Heroine smoothed a pleat on her flounce. M. Falle was really quite good with pleating. Perhaps she'd ask for a bit more on the next dress.
"Heroine..." Daisy's stare would not relent.
"Leave her alone. Not everyone is interested in intercourse."
"Even you don't believe that, pet."
