Simon Humphrey has many responsibilities. He has a dukedom to oversee, a wife to find, and a rambunctious family to keep in line, not the least of whom is his youngest sister (and perhaps best friend) Phillipa, who cannot seem to keep a governess. When Mrs Fiona Green appears, references in one hand and her young son Nathaniel clutched in the other, he hopes that at least one of his prayers has been answered, and sets his mind to the important task of finding himself a respectable duchess to share his life. 
But something - or someone - seems determined to keep Simon from his goal. As inconvenience, danger, and outright sabotage abound, Simon struggles to keep those in his care safe... and to ignore the sparkling green eyes of the sweet, lovely, and married governess now living within his walls. 
After all, Simon Humphrey has many responsibilities. He's just not sure if that includes following his heart.

Husband Wanted (HC #1) by Flo_Writes

Elizbeth Humphrey wants a husband. Her expectations are not outlandish; all she asks is that he be reasonably handsome, reasonably wealthy and completely kind. Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps. He also has a head-wound and no memory of who he is, but Elizabeth Humphrey has larger mysteries to solve; namely, the mystery of who she might marry. Book 1 of the Humphrey Chronicles! Completed: March 2022 (~83000 words)

But could he help her if she told him her secret? ***** Two years ago, Princess Adelaide was forced into hiding after her father, King William IV, was killed in a carriage accident that also took the life of her mother and brother. She suspects that the despicable man now on the throne of England--her uncle, Ernest--is responsible for her family's death, so she avoids his watchful eye by working as a maid for the aristocratic families of London. However, when she's employed by the dashing Duke of Kingfield, she soon discovers that he not only believes that the princess is alive, but also that she could be the key to saving England. Is Adelaide willing to come out of hiding in order to prove him right? Or are her growing feelings for him worth giving up her claim to the throne?

Talk of the Ton | S. Basset DoH by WolfsLightning

Grosvenor Square, 1813 The London Social Season has only just begun. With presentations before Her Majesty and new scandals simmering beneath the surface, one must wonder-how will this season unfold? This author, for one, cannot wait to find out. Consider, dear reader, the household of the Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton-who shall not only be shepherding her eldest daughter, Miss Daphne Bridgerton, but also her younger daughter, Miss Elena Bridgerton, through the dizzying whirl of the ton's festivities. Will they find their perfect matches? }~~~~~~~~~~~{ Miss Elena Bridgerton, though perhaps more open to the notion of marriage than her younger twin, Miss Eloise, remains a creature of intellect and curiosity. Her passion for knowledge-and for freedom-burns as brightly as any candle in the Bridgerton library. Follow her as she navigates the intricate waltz between love and liberty, striving to hold onto what little independence society allows her. Simon Basset, the newly minted Duke of Hastings, has but one purpose in London: to settle his late father's affairs before returning to Clyvedon. In no need-and even less desire-of a wife, the Duke has sworn never to marry. But will his resolve remain unshaken once he encounters the spirited and deceptively innocent Miss Bridgerton? Note: This story may include a touch of Daphne-bashing, as her role fades to the periphery while Elena takes center stage. Many familiar scenes will be reimagined and altered to fit this new narrative. Thank you, dear reader, for joining me on this journey. I do hope you enjoy.
