Regency Romance: The Earl's Obsession (Historical Romance) (COMPLETED)
(COMPLETED) It's 1817 and there is nothing more a woman wants than to marry a rich man and live a life of comfort. But not Nancy Brooks. Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor. Things take a turn when she delivers clothes to one of the schools she always dreamed of attending and ends up saving the day. Lord Andrew Montgomery rules almost every place he sets foot in-one of the perks of being the son of the most powerful duke of the time-and this includes Oxford. Violent and aggressive, he vows to make the life of every student who dares defy him miserable. However, when he targets the new (and first) girl at Oxford, his obsession becomes a little more than just making her life miserable. It began, he would later speculate, with a shout: the simple sound of someone shouting at him-for the first time in his life. It began, she would later speculate, with a catch: the simple movement of strong arms, breaking her fall, catching her midway. But after that, there would come many more events, and ones not too keen on bringing them together. What will they do when a powerful duchess steps in, when it seems every person is working to keep them apart? This is a story of betrayal and love, because they are not so different after all...Abgeschlossene Geschichte

[1] The Queen Dowager of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton
The tale of Her Majesty The Queen Dowager of Württemberg unfolds not as a fairy-tale love story with a happily ever after but as a narrative of growth and resilience. Returning to London with her youngest children after her husband's demise, she steps back into the swirl of the 1813 social season. Life demanded many sacrifices from Charlotte, but none weighed as heavily as the sacrifice of her enduring love, especially for one man-a particular Viscount. Thirteen years after burying the echoes of their first love, fate orchestrates a poignant reunion between Charlotte and the Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton. What they believed to be entombed emotions rise to the surface with each encounter, proving that some feelings, no matter how deeply buried, refuse to remain silent. Love crashes onto their souls once again, defying the passage of time and stirring the embers of a connection they thought had long faded away. The 1813 social season will definitely be as unexpected as it will be beautiful and scandalous. Lady Whistledown shall have to purchase more ink...
