We’ve talked about a number of Regency holidays over the
years such as Christmas and Easter. I’m delighted to report that I have a
Regency steampunk story, in the Regent’s Devices universe, out this Thursday. Like
the other stories, which are more-traditional Regencies, it centers around a Regency
holidays. We cover from May Day to Twelfth Night, featuring some of your favorite
tropes—enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance, forbidden love, friends-to-lovers,
and more! The collection includes the following stories:
May Day Mayhem by Ann
Chaney—Intrigue,
death, and love come to Horsham-Upon-the-Thames as the small English village
anticipates their May Day celebration. Home Office agents the Duke of Doncaster
and governess Helen Stokes join forces to uncover a missing list of French
agents before an enemy discovers it. Mired in May Day preparations while
chasing hoodlums and gentry, Helen and Doncaster try to fight their mutual
attraction in a romantic farce worthy of Covent Garden.
My Favorite Mistake
by Courtney McCaskill—Sixteen
years ago, lady’s maid Fanny Price was swept off her feet by a handsome horse
trainer named Nick Cradduck. The very next day, he shattered her heart. But
now, at the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake, who should Fanny encounter
but the man she crossed all of England to avoid… A second-chance love story
featuring Fanny, the scene-stealing lady’s maid from How to Train Your
Viscount!
His Damsel by
Charlotte Russell—During
her annual visit to Bartholomew Fair, Eliza Cranstoun is mistaken for a lady in
distress when in fact she was attempting to avenge the honor of her cousin.
Now, she insists Anthony Ripley, her savior, help her bring down a lordly
scoundrel. Amidst the scheming however, the independent Eliza and the confirmed
bachelor Anthony, discover that love finds even those who choose not to seek
it.
When I Fall In Love
by Cora Lee—The
Harvest Festival is a chance for reunions and love, but perhaps not for childhood
friends Sylvie Devereaux and Kit Mathison. When Kit returns to renovate the
home he inherited, Sylvie’s financial burdens prompt Kit to propose a marriage
of convenience. But Sylvie has always wanted to marry for love, and they don't
love each other…do they?
Remember by Shannon
Donnelly—Over the
years, Beatrice Foxton keeps meeting up with Andrew Cliffs on Guy Fawkes Night,
but these two friends are separated by her family’s expectations for her to
marry a well-born lord and his family’s background in trade. And, yet, they
can’t stay away from each other...
The Aeronaut’s Heart by Regina Scott—Josephine Aventure was on her way to earning a place in England’s Aeronautical Corps until the dashing smuggler she’d once loved showed up. Etienne Delaguard risked much to help England win the war against France. Over a Twelfth Night masquerade, can a gentleman of the sea win the heart of a lady of the air?
