Regencyromance Stories

Six months. That's all the time I have before my head rolls onto the executioner's block. Dying choking on spicy instant noodles was a pathetic way to go, but waking up as Ilse de Varannes? That's a death sentence. In the original novel, Ilse isn't the heroine. She isn't even the villainess. She's the brainless, loyal sidekick the girl destined to be butchered just for being the "troublemaker" (instigator) of her best friend's shitty schemes. I used to be a Public Relation staff. My entire life was damage control, narrative-spinning, and cleaning up messes. So, I have a plan: tame my impulsive best friend, dodge the Crown Prince like the plague, and ghost the imperial palace before the military cleans house. Simple, right? Wrong. My strategy didn't account for the Duke d'Alençon. The Grand Commander of the military. Brother of Prince, The cold-blooded monster who's literally supposed to sign my death warrant in the final chapter. He's not ignoring me like he's "supposed" to. He's cornering me in dark hallways. He's gripping my wrists tight enough to bruise. He's looking at me with those damn icy eyes like he knows exactly what I'm up to and he finds it fascinating. "You're in too deep, Ilse. And I don't have the habit of letting go of what I've already claimed."

'𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝒊𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆.' But not Casanna, the sole heir of the Duke of Rosemore. She refuses to be what society expects her to. She rejects its standards, defies its traditions and breaks every expectation placed upon her. She simply refuses to be dictated to. All she ever wanted was to live at her own pace, to honor her family's legacy while quietly fading into the background. 'Not just a rose with vivid petals and thorns but something far more.' However, peace always demands a price. What seemed like a simple dream becomes far more complicated when she meets someone who mirrors her own fire, someone who will challenge her heart and change her forever. Someone who has the same temperament as hers. PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME. ❁✿❀✾❃

She came to England to make a good match. She found a body first. India, 1818. Miriam Linden is one and twenty, too tall, too loud, and too much for an English marriage market that has already decided she does not belong. Her only comforts are the letters she writes home to her cousin Clementine, and the memory of Charlie, the ship's deckhand she was never meant to love. Then, at a grand and slightly crumbling country estate full of charming suitors, a guest turns up missing, and everyone agrees it was nothing at all. Everyone except Miriam. Now she is the only one asking the questions no one wants answered, in a house thick with secrets, courtship, and at least one person who would very much like her to stop. Falling in love was never the plan. Neither was solving a murder. A Regency mystery told entirely in letters, for readers who like their romance with a body count.

Annabelle is frightened as her first season in London approaches. Marriage? She always hoped it would be for love. But what does she know about love. When looking for clues among her letters from her past suitors, she finds a letter she's never read before. Such passion and love, although she does not know its author, she has made it her ideal of what she wishes to find ... Love's Counterpart.

He does not know how but he is determined to be the man worthy of her love.

[PRÁTICA ESCRITA - RPG SOLO] - My name is Charlotte Bennet. I'm the late Baron Bennet's only child. This Season is my debut and I must secure a proposal for my own survival. My father passed away suddenly and, as an unmarried woman, I cannot inherit the family's assets. It is not much, just a few coins and a pleasant townhouse, but it is all I have left. I'm used to a frugal lifestyle. My dear childhood friend, Donovan Whitefield, has promised to help me meet some fine gentlemen he met at boarding school. My only concern is his sister, Penelope, who's also debuting this Season. There is no denying, she is a real beauty. She might very well be the Flower of the Season and steal all proposals. Only time will tell.

In Bellamere, the Season is a battlefield dressed in silk. This year, Queen Aurelia has chosen three Diamonds to capture society's attention: Lady Arabella Laurent, Lady Josephine Sinclair, and Lady Vivienne Beaumont. Arabella should have everything a young woman could want-beauty, wealth, status, and a future filled with eligible gentlemen. Instead, she finds herself caught between two very different men. Duke Adrian Devereaux is forbidden, intense, and impossible to resist. Lord Julian Beaumont is charming, thoughtful, and dangerously easy to fall for. One makes her heart race. The other makes it flutter. But romance isn't the only thing threatening to unravel Arabella's carefully controlled world. An anonymous gossip writer known as The Blackbird has returned, exposing the secrets of Bellamere's most powerful families-and this Season, the Three Diamonds may be its favorite targets. Love, loyalty, and reputation will all be tested. Because in Bellamere, everyone has a secret. And The Blackbird knows them all.

Or will history repeat itself in whispers... bound by the heart

She had never been meant to be seen in the way she was seen. He had never been meant to look twice. In a world governed by silence, appearances, and carefully arranged futures, Cordelia Vane had lived as a presence just outside attention-until Lord Frederick Ashby changed the shape of every room she entered simply by noticing her. What began in a crowded London musicale became a sequence of impossible moments: stolen conversations behind glass, walks through gardens that felt too quiet to be innocent, and letters that said less than they admitted. Frederick carried the weight of an inherited estate and expectations that left little space for deviation. Cordelia carried the expectation of becoming something useful, acceptable, and safely positioned. Neither had accounted for what it meant when observation became recognition. As society watched and reinterpreted every interaction into a rumor, both were drawn deeper into a connection that refused to remain appropriately distant. What unfolded between them was shaped by restraint, pressure, and timing that never quite aligned, yet still moved forward. And in the end, what mattered most was not how the world interpreted them-but that, despite everything, they continued to choose each other. ©️ Relle H.

A Regency Romantic Comedy "He's a marquess with no grace. She's a maid with no patience. Together, they're society's worst scandal-and its greatest love story." He survived the war with his title intact, his cravat crooked, and absolutely no idea how to function in normal society. Now that he's home, the once-dashing (and accidentally heroic) Marquess of Windmere is a walking catastrophe-spilling tea, forgetting names, and setting fire to social decorum at every turn. The only thing standing between him and complete ruin? His maid. Catrina Bellamy is sharp-tongued, unshakable, and definitely not impressed by her employer's noble title or inability to hold a teacup. Secretly, she's been in love with him for years. Publicly, she calls him "Your Disastership" under her breath and threatens him with a mop. But when a scandal brews, a kiss almost happens (twice), and society demands the Marquess marry anyone but her, things begin to spiral into one gloriously chaotic, heart-squeezing mess. Will he trip over his own feelings before he can propose properly? Will she ever admit her heart's been his since she was ten? And how many household objects will they destroy before they finally kiss? A slow-burn, laugh-out-loud, enemies-to-lovers-but-also-servant-to-disaster-romance that proves love doesn't require elegance-just a little honesty, a lot of heart, and maybe a goat in pearls.
