🏆 2025 Amby Favorite 🏆 Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

She is the Diamond of the Season. He is the rogue who wagers to tarnish her shine. Lady Beatrice Ashworth is the undisputed darling of the ton-beautiful, charming, and flawless. But behind the perfect smiles and graceful waltzes, Beatrice is dying of boredom, trapped in a gilded cage of expectation. She longs for a life of passion and purpose, not the safe, tedious match her mother is determined to secure. Lord William "Liam" Blackwood, the devil-may-care brother of a duke, finds the marriage mart a tiresome game. To him, the untouchable Lady Beatrice is the ultimate challenge. In a fit of reckless pride and against a detestable rival, he makes a ruinous wager: he will steal a kiss and a promise from the impeccable Diamond. What begins as a cynical game soon becomes dangerously real. As Liam uncovers the fiery, brilliant woman behind the perfect facade, he finds himself falling for the one woman he was supposed to deceive. And Beatrice, drawn to the one man who sees the real her, begins to shed her carefully crafted armor. But when the scandalous truth of the wager breaks, it shatters Beatrice's reputation and her fragile trust. Now, Liam must prove that his love is not a lie concocted for profit, but the one true thing he has ever done. In a world where reputations are everything, can a love born from a bet ever be trusted? Or is their season destined to end in ruin? 1st in #regencyengland

Eleanor Fairleigh arrives in London with no intention of causing a stir. She wishes only to observe, to understand, and-if possible-not to be paraded before the loudest and most persistent suitors of the Season. Unfortunately, she has been placed under the care of Lady Cordelia Ashcroft, a friend of her grandmother's as respectable as she is dangerously brilliant, and firmly convinced that the best way to protect a young lady is to present her-carefully, and with impeccable timing. As the Ton sets itself in motion with balls, intimate invitations, and an embarrassing number of suddenly attentive gentlemen, Eleanor navigates the Season with courtesy, intelligence, and a remarkable talent for being underestimated. Lady Cordelia, meanwhile, pretends to be in earnest search of the perfect husband for her protégée, while thoroughly enjoying every step of the process. Observing it all with outward composure is Julian, Viscount Ravenscroft: irreproachable gentleman, reluctant social strategist, and entirely convinced that he feels no interest whatsoever in Lady Cordelia's young charge. After all, esteem is not love. Attention is not jealousy. And irritation is certainly not emotional involvement. Or is it? Between rules obeyed only in appearance, conversations far too intelligent to be innocent, and a Season that tests even the steadiest of characters, With Due Discretion tells the story of how one may fall in love slowly, properly... and in the most intense way possible: by following the rules of the Ton to the letter.

Note: This book is the second in the Acklam Series. The story is a completed novel, translated chapter by chapter weekly. Faith Acklam harbored a deep disdain for the aristocracy. However, lately she had discovered another thing she loathed even more: Noah Binham's views on marriage. The young man was impossible to silence when it came to his ramblings about true love and the "right person"! Yet, Faith had a plan. In this way, she could free all of society from Noah's speeches and help him find his "right person." Noah Binham had quietly lost faith in the possibility of finding true love. From the outside, everyone believed he was merely waiting for the right person. Yet, he felt too desperate to truly grasp that notion. So desperate, in fact, that his closest friend, Henry, had started suggesting that people marry him! But Henry was not the only one who noticed his desperation and wished to help; his sister Faith was now involved as well.

A locket holds the key to Dia's past and her future. Miss Dia Daywater never expected her quiet life as a French tutor to end in flight. Raised in a French orphanage and trained to serve the English aristocracy, she has learned to survive by keeping her head down and her life mapped out. But when her mysterious locket draws dangerous attention, Dia is forced to flee straight onto the grounds of Dyrham Park and into the path of its enigmatic master. As danger closes in and forced proximity blurs the lines between duty and desire, Dia must decide whether to trust the man offering her refuge. She knows all too well that a woman in her position has no place in the heart-or the life-of a viscount. Book Four in the A-Z of Romance: Regency series.

Dear Readers, You may think me vain-or worse, hopelessly romantic--- but I fear I may have stumbled into that most inconvenient of narrative tropes: the one where a gentleman believes his lifelong friend has fallen hopelessly in love with him. Yes, laugh if you must. I probably would, were I not the supposed object of affection. Lady L.-who once declared all balls "an elaborate excuse for powdered men to trip over their own egos"-has recently developed an alarming enthusiasm for society. Everywhere I turn, she is there. Garden parties. Opera boxes. Even that dreadful card party hosted by Lady Mortimer and her seventeen cats. My friend, who used to dodge invitations like musket fire, now materializes with a fan in hand and a suspicious gleam in her eye. Naturally, I have drawn the only logical conclusion: she must be in love with me. I know. It sounds absurd. But what else could explain her sudden omnipresence? Her frequent smiles? The way she seems to find her way to my side in every room, every conversation, every- Wait. No, you're shaking your heads already, aren't you? Blast it. The problem, you see, is this: if she is in love with me, I haven't the faintest idea what to do. For though she is remarkable-intelligent, sharp, and more loyal than most-I have never considered her in that light. She's my best friend. That's all. Isn't it? Ah, such are the troubles of a heart and mind at odds. I suppose there is only one way to know the truth. But as you turn these pages with knowing smiles and silent suspicions, I beg you-do not judge me too harshly. I am, after all, only a man. Yours Truly, Lord Silvershade PS: 'Tis not my real name

What if Catherine Morland was actually onto something? What if her Gothic novels had actually prepared her to encounter the atrocities of the real world? What if General Tilney's crimes were much worse than just being a snob and a heartless social climber? What if Northanger Abbey kept a terrible secret? Follow Catherine as she explores the Gothic Abbey and encounters witnesses, looking for clues. ************ This chaptered short story is a rewriting of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey" I wrote while I was tutoring a highschool student and she had to write a detective story and she hated it and I proposed we do a "Catherine solves the mystery" rewrite and she was onboard and we ended up with her version and my version (this is my version). (I lost the end of my original text so I'll have to re-invent it...) Some of the dialogues are from Jane Austen's novel and/or Jon Jones's film adaptation but most of the text is a retelling (and departure from the original) in my own words.
