Regencyromance Stories

Eleanor Vale expected another uneventful season. She did not expect Rhys Blackwell-smiling, attentive, and hopelessly taken with her from the start. Somehow he's always there: offering his arm, teasing her gently, looking at her like she's already his. Quiet life? Impossible. Not when the Wolf is courting her. Warning: This romance will trick you into thinking it's soft and harmless. It is not. Good luck.

Verity Baker has spent her life cleaning up after her father's mistakes. But one day, he goes too far and sells her, for one night only, to a local lord to pay his debts. What kind of man would buy a woman? What kind of woman would agree to be bought? COMPLETED

Verena Strathmore has never been more than a bargaining chip-useful, silent, obedient. When she's forced into an arranged marriage with Cassian Beresford, heir to a powerful earldom, she believes her fate is sealed: a loveless union, a distant estate, and a life lived at the mercy of others. Cassian is equally trapped. His heartbreak is dismissed, his future stolen, and the Crown itself demands this marriage for reasons no one will explain. But when Verena and Cassian finally meet, they discover they share the same chains-and perhaps the same chance at freedom. Duty bound them. Secrets surround them. Love may undo them.

Eleanor Whitcombe steps into the glittering world of London society with hope in her heart, determined to find more than wealth or title. Nathaniel, Duke of Ravenswood, carries the heavy burden of legacy and duty, convinced love is a luxury he cannot afford. When a single dance draws them together, whispers and choices intertwine, and both must decide if they will yield to expectation-or risk everything for a love neither expected.

London doesn't ruin people with proof-it ruins them with whispers. Reginald, Duke of Ashburn, has survived society by mastering restraint: the careful smile, the measured distance, the discipline of stopping an inch short of disaster. But Josephine Langley has never been interested in being managed into silence. She meets the ton's cruelty with calm precision-and Reginald's composure with a ferocity that feels dangerously like home. One near-kiss on a terrace becomes a city-wide invention. Powerful men offer "solutions" dressed as protection: send Josephine away, restore the Duke's reputation, erase the inconvenient truth of them. Instead, Reginald does the unthinkable-he chooses her in daylight, openly, plainly, and without apology. But love is only the first battle. When Josephine uncovers a buried family crime-names, payments, and a legacy built on someone else's ruin-choosing each other means choosing something even more dangerous: the truth. With enemies circling, papers hungry for scandal, and their families poised to bury them both, Reginald and Josephine make a vow the ton can't edit: Careful first. Then brave. And always-together.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. It is also a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man NOT in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a RICH wife.

When he discovers a secret affair has left him with an unknown brother, and the Duke passes away unexpectedly, Lord Pemberton (now the new Duke of Sunderby) is pressured to find a wife sooner than expected.

Will she be able to save both of their futures?

I can Dream Can't ? Is a Sequel to Remember Me

In which a wayward goose, a secret heiress, and a grumpy Duke collide in the most absurd courtship the ton has ever seen. Lady Octavia Seabourne only wanted a peaceful promenade and perhaps a cat or five. What she got instead was a goose with delusions of knighthood, a scandalous title dispute, a Duke who weaponizes eyebrow raises, and a household that steadily becomes overrun with affection, chaos, and very opinionated pets. As accidental touches turn into intentional swoons, and as feathery chaos spirals into sweet romance, one thing becomes clear: Love, much like Sir Archibald Featherstone III, does not obey rules. A Regency romcom filled with flirtatious disasters, fluffy creatures, too many titles, and the ungooseable truth: This is A Most Peculiar Courtship
