[A Victorian romance continuing family stories begun in the various Regency books of Mariana Gabrielle and Jude Knight.]
  
David "Toad" Northope, heir to the Duke of Wellbridge and rogue in the mold of his infamous father, knows Lady Sarah "Sal" Grenford, daughter of the once-profligate Duke of Haverford, will always hold his heart. But when the two teens are caught in bed together by their horrified parents, he is sent away to finish school on the Continent, and she is thrown into the depths of her first London Season.
  
  Can two reformed rakes keep their children from making the same mistakes they did? The dukes decide keeping them apart will do the trick, so as the children reach their majority, Toad is put to work at sea, learning to manage his mother's shipping concern, and Sal is taken to the other side of the world, as far from him as possible. How will Toad and Sal's love withstand long years of separation, not to mention nasty lies, vicious rumors, attractive other suitors, and well-meaning parents who threaten to destroy their future before it has begun?

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 that some bonds are as inevitable as the tides, drawing one and one together despite the constraints that bind them away from each other. Some cannot be escaped, others do not want to escape. But then there is society, and though evolving, it is certainly demanding of compliance. I ask you, from an unopened letter: Can the gravity of an undeniable connection be labeled as wrong? As fruit of insanity? Perhaps some truths are destined to remain shrouded in mystery, but Siena DeLuca and Eloise Bridgerton cannot, for crying out loud, endure ignorance, and much less impotence. If the world refuses to see them through gentle eyes- or accepting ones, simply- then they would damn right assure that they would find a way to wreak havoc raucous enough to earn the disdain. Because to love in secrecy is a burden, an exhausting endeavor even for those restless as them. But it is also a world too old to remain unchanging, a world too entrenched in tradition. So, when does one seize the moment to ignite revolution? When does one know it is the right moment to set in motion a scheme so grand it is meant to redefine existence as we know it?

[IMPORTANT: This is a closed-door romance for readers uncomfortable reading heavy erotica and adult scenes.] Miss Mina Haswell has always been a firm believer in love, especially when it comes to her betrothed, a dear childhood friend. Years ago, however, fate took a cruel turn, draping her in mourning and casting her heart in grief. Though unable to even fathom the prospect of love once again blessing her life, she finds joy in her sister's happiness. After her father's untimely passing, the title of Viscount Sinclair unexpectedly falls to a distant relative, the somewhat reclusive Mr Royston Langdon. When their paths cross, Mina and Royston embark on an unconventional journey filled with unforeseen challenges. Intrigued by Miss Haswell, the newly minted Lord Sinclair proposes a daring wager - a game of hearts. If Mina can help Royston win the affection of his potential bride, he promises to triple her inheritance. In return, should Royston help Mina win the heart of her chosen suitor, she will be forced to give up her beloved summer residence, which holds her most cherished memories and represents a significant portion of her inheritance. Their stakes are equal - Mina has lived far from the scrutinising gaze of the ton, while Royston remains a newcomer to its complex world. But patience is not a virtue for which Miss Haswell is known, and Lord Sinclair seems to take a peculiar pleasure in vexing her at every turn. Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, societal expectations and their passionate exchange of wits, one question lingers: Can there be a winner from this daring wager, or will the unpredictability of love cause the rules to be rewritten? ♦♦♦ Contains themes of death and grief. ♦♦♦ ♥♥♥ Ambys 2024 Favorite ♥♥♥ The story is also available on Inkitt. #historicalromance

(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...
