Regency Romance Novels

Constance and the Inconstant Duke
Book one in The Three Graces series
Constance Grace knows exactly what she is going to do with her life. She is going to follow in her parents’ footsteps as a missionary, and is preparing for a life in the depths of Africa.
But when events interrupt her careful plans, Constance must navigate wilder territory than foreign jungles. She must negotiate the strange new world of Regency high society, and the dangers of an attraction to an irreligious and inconstant man.
Can she resist temptation and keep to her pure and perfectionistic plans? Or must she learn to accept her own flaws, and open her heart to the complications of love?
For readers who enjoy...
arranged proximity in a country house, reformed rake, bluestocking heroine, opposites attract, strong sisterly bonds, Regency London
What Readers say...
​"As far as the characters and plot, I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't reading a Georgette Heyer novel. So much of it matched her delightful but slightly cynical style, and the capable book-smart heroine could have been one of hers. That being said to this was very much its own story with lots of fun quirks and great characters."
​​
"A wonderful blend of humor, lovable characters, and romance. It has that touch of classic-book-charm feel mixed with more emotionally engaging characters that I rarely find, but so dearly enjoy."
​​
"A rare treasure in the avalanche of mediocre romances being published these days... this author will join my short list of writers who write great books in the vein of Georgette Heyer. Elegant and nuanced and so very romantic, with subtle humor, lovely, flowing dialogue and endearing, well-drawn characters. There’s a lovely, lyrical sense of place and visualisation that seems effortless. The grammar and vocabulary are meticulous."

Charity and the Churlish Captain
Book two in The Three Graces series
Miss Charity Grace, charming and vivacious, is ready to take London by storm.
She fully intends to enjoy herself in the pursuit of fun, romance and kicking up a few larks, even though the shadow of war looms over Europe once again.
But not everyone thinks her charming. Some would wish her removed from the competitive marriage mart. Charity will soon find that the high life is not necessarily the life she wants, and true love comes at a high price when the man you love is a soldier on the brink of battle.
Rejoin the Grace sisters in another romantic comedy adventure, from Sussex to Mayfair and the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.
This can be read as a standalone romance, but will be more enjoyable read as part of the series.
For readers who enjoy...
second chance romance, friends to lovers, feisty, flawed heroines, scarred soldiers, debutantes, High Society London, Prince Regent's Brighton
What Readers say...
​"I couldn't put the book down. So many twists and turns. I wasn't ready for it to end."
​
"The characters are so dynamic with great chemistry and emotions."
​
"This was a delightful story and it captures your interest right away."

Prudence and the Romantic Poet
Book three in The Three Graces series
Miss Prudence Grace is very happy with her life. She lives quietly in the country among her sisters and their children, and sees nothing amiss with being a maiden aunt. She has no room for romantic notions in her calm, prosaic world—no hidden secrets, no glaring faults, or painful wounds. She wants for nothing. She is a very unlikely romantic heroine.
But an unexpected encounter in the sedate city of Bath upsets her predictable life. She is forced to spread her wings a little, meet new people, face new challenges, and discover that romance can strike most unexpectedly, and love changes everything.
This is a clean Regency Romance with plenty of humour and some dubious poetry.
It can read as a standalone, but many of the characters are from previous books, and it will be enjoyed best when read in series order.
For readers who enjoy...
Regency Bath, unconventional lovers, unwanted inheritance, age-gap romance
What Readers say...
"This has been such a romantic and heartwarming series that I highly recommend!"​
​
"What a sweet and wonderful conclusion to the 3 Graces series. I have enjoyed all of the stories, but this one brought the most joy to my heart"
​
"I love Prudence and her love interest. I loved the pacing of the book. The romance wasn't forced, and the pacing was well done."

Beau Brown
A standalone Regency romance
Henri de Courtenay, child of a nobleman, lost everything in the French Revolution. Now he must hide his identity, working as a tailor’s apprentice to survive.
Years later he risks a new life in London where his knowledge and taste in fashion make him rise to be the darling of the ton.
It seems his fortunes are reversing and love is in the air. But history wants to repeat itself.
Success has brought him an enemy, and he will have to fight again for the things that matter most. And what matters most is not the cut of his coat or the knot in his cravat, but the people he has grown to love.
Enjoy love and adventure in this sweet Regency romance.
For readers who enjoy...
a Regency England setting, adventure, riches to rags, secret heir, found family, eccentric English characters, and high fashion
What Readers say...
​"What a delightful read. I feel like this author goes into greater depth than most authors of this genre. The use of colloquialisms of the day and unexpected plot twists set it ahead of the rest. Beau Brown reminded me a bit of The Count of Monte Christo & Jane Austen’s novels."
​
"Took me through a range of emotions from amusement, anxiety, awkwardness, and excitement to joy and relief! I will definitely read this again."
​
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it brought in zany characters reminiscent of Dickens with a great love story that reminded me of Austin."​​
