Regency Stories

To save her family from ruin, a clever bluestocking must form a dangerous alliance with the one man in London she should avoid: the formidable Viscount who broke her heart. Lady Elodie Vance discovers her family is being bled dry by a respected friend's elegant fraud. Her only path to salvation is a devil's bargain with Lord Gabriel Stirling, Viscount Stonehurst-a man of ice and intellect who once coldly dismissed her youthful love. He offers a simple, clinical arrangement: her sharp mind and social access, in exchange for his protection and her family's security. Thrust into a world of deception, they must navigate glittering ballrooms and midnight searches, pretending a partnership that grows more perilous by the day. Elodie finds the icy Viscount guards a scarred and secretive heart, while Gabriel is unnerved by the brave, brilliant woman who challenges his every guarded instinct. But when a single, stolen kiss shatters the careful rules of their business arrangement, their fragile trust threatens to collapse. With a powerful enemy closing in, Gabriel must decide whether to retreat behind the walls of his past, or risk everything-his reputation, his control, and his carefully fortified heart-for a love that was never part of the bargain. 1st in #regencyengland

A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister. It's a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it's always been Ella Harrington's buffer. Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all. A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn't interested in her anyway. Right?

Mariella intends to marry rich. Then she'll live as she chooses. But there's a problem. The crown prince isn't as blind as everyone else, especially after he sees her true self. He now notices everything, the little lies, the carefully crafted manners, the rehearsed kindness. He is indifferent, dismissive, and dangerous in ways she can't anticipate, but she needs him on her side, because one slip, one glimpse behind her mask from the court, and everything she has clawed towards will collapse. She has spent her life perfecting the art of being the sweet, proper lady no one suspects. How to appear harmless, timid, and polite. But every word, every gesture, every tear is calculated. Because, in a world of wealth, titles, and ambition, the clever survive and the careless get left behind. And she will not be left behind. ××××× "She is deceiving you, Your Majesty!" Percival insisted, dragging Mariella back to the present, ''I swear upon my honor.'' The throne room felt smaller than before as the silence after Percival's words stretched. The King's gaze softened. "Mariella has served this court with nothing but grace." Mariella sobbed harder. The sound loud in the silent room. Finral's gaze burned into her. He had not spoken or shown any indication of revealing the truth. Maybe he was still in shock from her magnificent performance but she had to be sure. So she slowly lifted her head slightly, meeting his eyes for the briefest moment. Just for a second. And winked. The smallest movement. Gone in an instant. His lips parted. Whether from shock or apathy, she couldn't tell but he still said nothing. And in his silence, the ruling fell swiftly. ××××× Written for the open novella contest 2026 prompt 16: And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul (Quote by John Muir) Interpreted in a romantic sense.
