Regencyromance Stories

Eleanor Vale expected another uneventful season. She did not expect Rhys Blackwell-smiling, attentive, and hopelessly taken with her from the start. Somehow he's always there: offering his arm, teasing her gently, looking at her like she's already his. Quiet life? Impossible. Not when the Wolf is courting her. Warning: This romance will trick you into thinking it's soft and harmless. It is not. Good luck.

Verity Baker has spent her life cleaning up after her father's mistakes. But one day, he goes too far and sells her, for one night only, to a local lord to pay his debts. What kind of man would buy a woman? What kind of woman would agree to be bought? COMPLETED

Verena Strathmore has never been more than a bargaining chip-useful, silent, obedient. When she's forced into an arranged marriage with Cassian Beresford, heir to a powerful earldom, she believes her fate is sealed: a loveless union, a distant estate, and a life lived at the mercy of others. Cassian is equally trapped. His heartbreak is dismissed, his future stolen, and the Crown itself demands this marriage for reasons no one will explain. But when Verena and Cassian finally meet, they discover they share the same chains-and perhaps the same chance at freedom. Duty bound them. Secrets surround them. Love may undo them.

To save her family from ruin, a clever bluestocking must form a dangerous alliance with the one man in London she should avoid: the formidable Viscount who broke her heart. Lady Elodie Vance discovers her family is being bled dry by a respected friend's elegant fraud. Her only path to salvation is a devil's bargain with Lord Gabriel Stirling, Viscount Stonehurst-a man of ice and intellect who once coldly dismissed her youthful love. He offers a simple, clinical arrangement: her sharp mind and social access, in exchange for his protection and her family's security. Thrust into a world of deception, they must navigate glittering ballrooms and midnight searches, pretending a partnership that grows more perilous by the day. Elodie finds the icy Viscount guards a scarred and secretive heart, while Gabriel is unnerved by the brave, brilliant woman who challenges his every guarded instinct. But when a single, stolen kiss shatters the careful rules of their business arrangement, their fragile trust threatens to collapse. With a powerful enemy closing in, Gabriel must decide whether to retreat behind the walls of his past, or risk everything-his reputation, his control, and his carefully fortified heart-for a love that was never part of the bargain.

Crowe's story. Following on from Return to Sanditon, we left Crowe less than thrilled after recently inheriting a title, an estate and a requirement to marry within 12 months or face losing the unentailed wealth. This is the story of how Crowe meets Rose Downing; the eldest of three sisters and begins to realise that she is the one for him. Their story meets some obstacles and nothing goes according to plan - this is Crowe, after all! This story welcomes back some familiar characters and introduces some new ones. There is a guaranteed HEA and an epilogue. This is a work of fan fiction that continues my Return to Sanditon Novella series.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. It is also a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man NOT in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a RICH wife. The latter is unfortunately true for William Drake, the Marquess of Pemberton. The follies of his father, The Duke of Sunderby, have caused the entire Dukedom to be on the verge of collapse. When he discovers a secret affair has left him with an unknown brother, and the Duke passes away unexpectedly, Lord Pemberton (now the new Duke of Sunderby) is pressured to find a wife sooner than expected. Only one caveat - she must be rich. Lady Georgiana, the daughter of an Earl, is fiercely independent. Her first Season came and went without much fanfare. No suitor catching her eye and with her father still alive and two healthy older brothers, she doesn't require a husband right away and is content to be in their care. That is, until she is face to face with the brooding Lord Pemberton who makes her question all her deepest desires. The only problem is that he needs to marry for fortune and not love. Will she be able to save both of their futures?

When secret love letters are written in a clandestine plot to bring two lonely hearts together, will love from a distance finally bloom into matrimonial bliss for Rosamund Everly?

In which a wayward goose, a secret heiress, and a grumpy Duke collide in the most absurd courtship the ton has ever seen. Lady Octavia Seabourne only wanted a peaceful promenade and perhaps a cat or five. What she got instead was a goose with delusions of knighthood, a scandalous title dispute, a Duke who weaponizes eyebrow raises, and a household that steadily becomes overrun with affection, chaos, and very opinionated pets. As accidental touches turn into intentional swoons, and as feathery chaos spirals into sweet romance, one thing becomes clear: Love, much like Sir Archibald Featherstone III, does not obey rules. A Regency romcom filled with flirtatious disasters, fluffy creatures, too many titles, and the ungooseable truth: This is A Most Peculiar Courtship

Or will an unexpected enemy keep them from ever returning to their newborn children? *** This is a short story in the Arms Of My Love series, taking place between book 2 and 3.
