The Discreet Charm of Lady Mary (A Regency Novella) by EmilyMorgans

John Osborne has a promising career with the War Office and lacks for nothing. Except, possibly, a wife. Unfortunately, the woman he wants only has eyes for someone else. When a shared friend offers to help him win his love's heart--if only he will assist her on a case--he reluctantly agrees. He can put up with their grating presence if it affords him the chance of the happily ever after he so desperately craves. Lady Mary Kinson is happily counting down the days until she will officially be considered 'on the shelf'. Spinsterhood is looking rather appealing when getting married means giving up everything and trusting your husband to care for you. She'd rather use her dowry for a quiet life on her own. Until her younger sister does the unthinkable and Mary has to enlist the help of a friend to save her family from ruin.

Teaspoon of Honey by luciagreen-

May Berkeley gets called in to get rid of a beehive and gets to know the Purcells, specifically Eugene Purcell, a rational and sometimes middle son of a viscount. While the beekeeping business develops, so do the two's feelings as they keep bumping into each other's paths. ____ A short excerpt: "Regardless," he added, "I'm glad you took those dreadful, aggravated things away." "Bees are not angry creatures," May defended. "My numerous bee stings would beg to differ with your assessment." She chuckled, "They are protective and will defend themselves, sometimes to the death. The same way you would seem to defend and protect your sister." "Miss, are you comparing me to bees?" "I believe I am, my lord. However, I think you are more of an angry creature than they are." His face heated and in a more hyperbolic setting, steam would have hissed out his ears. "Excuse me?! You do not get to come into my home and-" He stopped himself. He was proving the infuriating beekeeper right. Even the cat woke up. "Never mind."

Daughter on his Doorstep (HC #2) by Flo_Writes

Vincent Humphrey has never been entirely comfortable. His family loves him, but he's very aware that the rest of the world only tolerates his slow, stuttered speech. When a baby girl appears on his doorstep one evening, his carefully constructed life begins to fray at the edges, and he vows to uncover her true identity and return his life to normal. To make matters worse, the ever-charming Thomas Thorne has ingratiated himself into the Humphrey family, leaving Vincent almost permanently off-kilter. And the most unsettling thought of all: perhaps he won't want either to leave. This is the 2nd book of the Humphrey Chronicles. It will make much more sense if you read Husband Wanted first! Completed September 2023 (~88000 words)
