During the 74th birthday of Lady Sulley, the arrival of news regarding Samuel O'Cain, the son of two of her guests, Lord and Lady O'Cain, drives her to lend two servants of hers to come to his aid, as he lived secluded in Bright Manor, his late wife's estate in Wiltshire. Among the chosen ones is footman Isaac Foster, who is no stranger to Samuel's situation. 
    As he helps him out and tries to adapt to the different dynamics of living in the country, he develops relationships with the townsfolk, Samuel himself, and the other employees of Bright Manor - among them, Egbert Cawley, the gardener, whose mutual liking soon grows into something deeper and equal parts more beautiful and dangerous.All Rights Reserved

Leavitt Stafford and the Awful, Terrible, Not Very Nice Plan. by quatrecentvingttt

The year is 1865 and Leavitt Stafford, an intelligent and highly eccentric gentleman, has formed a most outrageous plan to battle God. This plan is so dreadfully immoral that you shan't believe your eyes! As this unspeakable plan progresses, the life of Leavitt Stafford gradually begins to unravel until it is an intolerable knit-knot of nonsense! And if the possessed baby and the divine kidnappings weren't dreadful enough, Queen Victoria is abducted by aliens, amongst similarly disconcerting occurrences. Can Montague, Leavitt's architecture-obsessed friend who is approximately as socially aware as a potato, and Marjorie, Leavitt's meek-but-insightful maid, impede Leavitt's dreadful machinations before it's too late? I believe it would be prudent to mention that the pansexual communist horses, who can travel throughout time and space with minimal exertion, believe this situation to be most entertaining.

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.

The House of Beardsley by flowersforleah

Ever since people could remember only men were allowed to enter the House of Beardsley, but for the first time four young girls with nothing in common have been hired to work in the mansion as live-in housekeepers. Shuyan, a Chinese orphan living in Victorian England, has always had a hard time finding a job, so she applies without much thought to the infamous House of Beardsley. Her co-workers, Bethany, Clo, and Rhiannon, on the other hand, seem to have no desire to work. Although they have been warned to keep their contact with the seven men of Beardsley as minimal as possible, Shuyan comes close to overstepping the boundaries when she makes contact with the crippled and gentle master Eugene. When she finds out the girls are hired for a much more sinister reason from the cold and mysterious Tobias, will she choose to stay in the House of Beardsley? More importantly, with each secret she unearths and relation she makes will she be able to leave...? #1 in Victorian-era (1/31/20) #1 in Asiansinlit (2/13/20) #1 in nobility (2/25/20) #1 in Edwardian (3/31/20) #1 in earl (4/22/20) #1 in Asian (8/9/20) #1 in gothicromance (1/4/21) #2 in debutante (4/18/20) #2 in regencyromance (10/3/20) #3 in Victorian (2/20/20) #1 in gothic (9/7/24)

Regency Romance: The Earl's Obsession (Historical Romance) (COMPLETED) by charlottestonebooks

(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...
