Dancing with the Viscount is a prequel novella to The Howerty series. It can be read as a stand-alone at any point but technically takes place at the same time as the start of Book 1 (A Midsummer Night's Kiss).

For readers who have read A Midsummer Night's Kiss, if the names ring a bell, it's because the story is based on a conversation between Nathaniel and James in which Leighton and Amelia are mentioned. (When I rewrite the books, I will have these characters appear a little bit more.)
