Regency Stories

Lady Elora Green returns to London determined to restore her family's ruined name-but society has not forgotten the scandal that once destroyed them. As whispers follow her through every ballroom, Elora finds herself caught between two very different men: a duke who offers safety and certainty, and Anthony Bridgerton, whose carefully controlled charm hides feelings neither of them can ignore. But in a season ruled by reputation, desire is dangerous-and one wrong choice could cost Evelina everything.

𝓔𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓜𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓭 has spent years perfecting one thing: despising 𝓑𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓬𝓽 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓰𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓸𝓷. "𝓘 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓺𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓸𝓾𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓷 𝓱𝓲𝓶." "𝓘 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓸𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓱𝓮𝓻." Ten years away gave her plenty of time to refine the art-hatred is, after all, much easier to maintain long-distance. But when the scandal that drove her family from London forces her back into society, Ellery discovers two rather inconvenient truths: Benedict Bridgerton has grown impossibly charming- and hatred is much harder to maintain face-to-face. One accidental scandal, one very public misunderstanding, and one entirely unplanned engagement later... Ellery finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted- and a man she can no longer pretend to hate. From Ellery's perspective, hatred is the safest mask she has left. But masks crack. And when hers does, Benedict is there to catch her-whether she wants to be caught or not.

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.

Stanford sisters part 1 When Sir Reginald Stanford died, leaving nothing but debts, his eldest daughter, Verity, felt responsible for her younger brother and sister's future. The deeds of the estate were missing and no one, including their trustees, seemed willing to help.

Could Major James Mitford, the troubled infantry officer injured at Salamanca, stop Verity from making a terrible mistake. Or would his past prevent him from being able to help.

She was hired to serve. And so she does. When a young woman arrives at Thornfield Manor to take up the role of lady's maid, she brings with her no name, no history, and no questions she is willing to answer. She is capable beyond expectation, unnervingly composed, and always watched by a small bird that never leaves her shoulder. Thornfield is a house that does not welcome curiosity, yet it is steeped in it. Lady Ravenna Thornfield, fragile of mind, keeps her close. The master of the house keeps his distance. And Charles Thornfield, heir and observer, watches her with an interest that unsettles more than it flatters. Within the manor's shadowed corridors, books whisper in unfamiliar hands, doors murmur secrets they were never meant to keep, and the line between servant and family begins to thin. She is not merely employed. She is being tested. As affection sharpens into something perilous and devotion slips toward obsession, the maid must decide whether anonymity is her shield or her prison. Some truths, once spoken, cannot be returned to silence. And some households are not meant to survive the revelation of who is truly standing within their walls. A Gothic historical romance of quiet power, dangerous intimacy, and the cost of being seen. The Strange Maid is a slow-burn tale of class, control, and the perilous allure of belonging.

However, Derek brings with him many secrets and obligations, some that might prohibit him from pursuing Rose -- and push her into the arms of her friend, Michael Cornell, the Marquess of Juniper. Will fate allow Rose and Derek to marry for love? Or will she indeed become the reluctant marchioness?

Some seasons arrive with a whisper. Theirs arrived with ruin. Once among society's most admired families, the Ellery name now lingers in drawing rooms only as a cautionary tale-spoken in lowered voices, sharpened by scandal, and followed by pity. With her family's fortune in tatters and their standing in freefall, Lady Lavinia Ellery has learned that survival in high society requires more than grace. It requires strategy. It requires sacrifice. It requires marrying well. But when the dangerously elusive Lord Colton St. James enters her world-a man whispered about with equal parts fascination and fear-Lavinia finds herself entangled in something far more perilous than society's cruel gossip. Because Colton is not the sort of man who offers harmless courtship. He is temptation dressed in aristocratic perfection. A man of devastating charm, ruthless restraint, and secrets dark enough to destroy them both. As rivals circle, reputations crumble, and ambition turns even family into enemies, Lavinia must decide what she is willing to surrender for salvation. Her name. Her freedom. Or her heart. In a world of silk, betrayal, and whispered desire, love is rarely gentle. And some passions do not save you. They ruin you beautifully.

A legacy of four daughters -- each as different as the seasons themselves -- find themselves bound together by a fortune as generous as it is perilous. Upon their parents' passing, the sisters inherit an immense fortune -- but not without condition. A clause -- meticulously written, unmistakably intentional -- binds their inheritance to a single, maddening stipulation: The third sister, Lavinia must remain unmarried. Should she falter, reform, or worse, fall in love, the entire possessions of the Darlingtons will pass immediately into the hands of their detestable neighbors: the Throckmortons, a family so insufferably self-satisfied that even their charity feels like an insult. And Lavinia, being Lavinia, rises to the challenge with spectacular enthusiasm. If society demands she remain unwed, then she will ensure it is not merely unlikely -- but unthinkable. Thus is born the Ton's most delicious outrage: Lavinia, the Scandal. And yet, where society recoils, one man watches. A duke, cold in manner and exacting in taste, known less for charm than for an almost unnerving restraint. He finds most of London tedious to the point of offense. Predictable. Rehearsed. Hollow. But Lavinia? She is none of those things. So while others avert their eyes, he does the opposite. He observes. He engages. He persists. Because, beneath the spectacle, beneath the laughter and the scandal and the ruin... He is certain there is a purpose. And he intends to uncover it.

Lady Athena Cottswold's life is as bright as sunshine when she fell head-over-heels in love with Matthew, Viscount of Tonbridge, but when she witnessed the latter's betrothal to some other woman of the ton, her world crumbles and became bleak. Enter Edmond, Duke of Rushton, Athena's childhood friend since they were five, that is, until they were thirteen. Edmond is a rake, and that is one of the reasons Athena despised him. When he saw how Athena cried over some unworthy lout, he vowed that no one will ever lay a finger on Athena's heart again. He will make her fall in love with him.

But what happens when two people used to being judged finally meet each other?

Helena Alton accepts a summer position at Wetherbrook Hall, expecting only to maintain the discipline of her student and the structure of her days. But she quickly draws the attention of Reginald Sutton: eccentric, wealthy and far too used to getting what he wants. What begins as pursuit and quiet opposition soon sharpens into a psychological dance of control, restraint and unspoken obsession. Reginald orchestrates a game that shifts the very walls of the house to bring her closer. The question is no longer whether she'll leave, but how long he'll let her think she can. ~ She gasped and twisted, but he'd already swept her off the ground in one ridiculous, showman's flourish. Her feet dangled, skirts swaying, while his laughter puffed warm and self-satisfied behind her ear. "Oh, darling canary" Reginald mused, as though this were all her fault, "you do make it so very easy."
