england historical regency romance victorian

One horrible night changed everything for Lady Sophia Iverson and Dante Warren, forcing Sophia to wed the Duke of Griffin and prompting Dante to flee from England. But when a horrible tragedy claims the life of her infant daughter, the lovers are brought back together.

Two years has changed so much for both of them, but Dante will do anything to bring Sophia back from the grief slowly killing her... even if that means opening his home to the orphaned children England's New Poor Laws have abandoned to starvation and worse. If saving their lives reminds Lady Sophia why she ever loved him in the first place... well, Dante wouldn't mind that either. He's always loved Sophia. He always will. He just has to convince her that the terrible secret she's hiding won't send him running again.

It won't, will it?

The Duke Of Westminster de BlackWomenEnthusiast

The worst day of Lottie Timbleton's life was when she lost the only man close to her heart, her Hero; her father. The second worst day is when she found out that her parents agreed for her to have an arranged marriage. Gregory Sulkin. That name is burned into Lottie's brain since the day her mother told her. "You will marry a fine gentleman, who will take care of you. His name is Greggory Sulkin." "I don't want to marry a man that I've never met!" Mother sighs and sits in father's old chair. "This was your father's idea, not mine. We just want you to be taken care of." I scoff. "Well, I can take care of myself! I don't need a man to take care of anything!" I storm off to my room and slam the door. Started: 10-21-25 Ended:

Intolerable Civility de Spiszy

With her reputation in tatters and a baby to look after, Catherine Balley is given a single chance at redemption: marry the man she once betrayed, a man who has every reason to hate her. * * * * * Seduced, ruined, and abandoned, Cate spends her days looking after her illegitimate baby, Luke, and trying not to think about the past she lost and the future she will now never have. When David Demery, the man she was once engaged to, offers to honour his promise and marry her, Cate cannot refuse: it is the only chance she will ever have to repair her reputation and protect Luke's future. But just because Demery is willing to marry her doesn't mean he's willing to love her: she broke his heart once, and he is determined not to let her do it again. Even if this time Cate's own heart is at risk of breaking too.

Bridgerton - The Lost Royal de EmmaxRiddle

Sophia Badger always envied those born as elites, attending balls and wearing fancy dresses. She's spent her life trying to get there; from falsifying legal documents to get into finishing school to learning how to sew her own dresses. Still, without any guardian to watch over her, she is now stealing and thieving to stay upright. One particular night, Sophia finds herself chased by the cops, and ends up in the Bridgerton's garden, where she runs headfirst into a green-eyed gentleman. To her surprise, he is more than happy to help her out and bring some action into his own unfulfilled life. In the weeks following their meeting, secrets unravel themselves and relationships form. Both Benedict and Sophia have one goal; to find out who they really are, and as it seems, they might just find each other in that process too.

Ignitable de KBMallion

Sophia is sat in a bar with only a large glass of wine for company, quietly nursing a broken heart. When a charismatic stranger approaches her, he's not only confidently funny, smart and intriguing... he's undeniably attractive. That night, for the first time in a very long while, Sophia feels womanly and wanted. This mysterious stranger not only makes her laugh, he ignites something within the very unwanted parts of herself. He ignites something that makes her willingly want to go against all that she thinks she is. ~ Cade Lapley is a ruthless barrister: equally so in his personal life. He is suave, sophisticated and wealthy, with emotional baggage almost as big as his oversized ego. When he meets the just dumped, Sophia Hale, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He is feeling something, and Cade Lapley just doesn't do feelings of any kind. Yet somehow, this lost-looking woman ignites something within him; a place that has been dark and uncaring ever since he was a little boy. He knows he is playing with an emotional fire, and will more than likely only get his fingers badly burnt. Yet still, Cade finds himself unable to leave this woman alone. He knows he should. Not only for Sophia's sake, but more selfishly for his. Only, he can't. One man. One woman. Together....

Just to Have You (Blackwood & Friends #3) de Ashful

They had been the best of friends since childhood. She knew that he secretly wore spectacles. He knew that she had once stolen all the wine for the Eucharist from the parish church and blamed it on the town drunkard. There was very little that Amy Griffiths did not know about Lord Oliver Hollingsworth, the only friend she had ever had growing up in a tiny village where everybody knew everything about anybody. She was quite happy to rush headlong into spinsterhood while she tended to her mother and worked the small bookshop, and Lord Hollingsworth did not seem inclined to wed anytime soon having ensured no mother in her right mind would allow her daughter to consort with the likes of him after the whole debacle with his once intended, Miss Augusta Fleetwood, a few seasons ago. When Amy is convinced to visit London, little did the both of them realise how meddling some of his friends would be, and how adept at matchmaking the troublesome lot are. Soon, the delicate line between friendship and true love become harder to distinguish. Bit of a slow burn, sweet romance with MATURE content and a lot of humour.

The Duke's Unexpected Duchess de BrownSugarr28

18+ The Duke of Kent, Theodore Allen Hale, has lived in self-imposed isolation for years. A childhood stutter, mocked and ridiculed by the first and last lady he gave his heart to, believing he would receive more ridicule from society, forced him into the shadows, where he has remained, speaking only when necessary. Despite his wealth and power, he is the ghost of the ton-whispered about but rarely seen. Lady Sophia Hannah Newton has never stepped foot into a grand ball or a glittering soirée. She was never introduced to society, this allowed her to dedicate herself to her true passion-painting. Under an anonymous name, her art has taken the ton by storm, each new masterpiece the subject of fierce bidding wars among London's elite. Yet no one knows the artist behind the work. What happens when fate draws them together and they agree to a marriage of convenience? ©2025 | All rights reserved.

Blossom de MaryRose_Author

A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

But the powerful attraction between them won't be ignored and their marriage of convenience starts to become too real.
