- Love Wasn't Built In A Day: Desiring The Dexingtons, #1
1
A friends to lovers gay Regency romance with a delicious slow burn. Humphrey Dexington wants his best friend, and colleague, to be happy in love. With him, preferably. After accidentally reading a letter written by David to a former lover, Humphrey realises his own love for David would forever remain unrequited. It's time to finally move on and let David find someone to love who would stick by him. If he couldn't have David, at least David could have the man who he sent such poignant letters to. Humphrey invites David and his lover to the Soho Club for an evening together, but when David's lover doesn't show, it might just give Humphrey the chance he's always wanted. Engineer David Mattson doesn't have time for love. Grand engineering projects dominate his life, and he spends most of the year travelling to supervise the works. When his last affair ended, he decided that was it. Love wasn't for him. He'd never find someone who wanted to share the life he adored, who would travel with him, and care as deeply for every detail of every bridge and drain and lock. Slowly, David realises that person has been beside him, loyal to him and his beloved engineering, for the past decade. All he needs is to be brave enough to say yes to Humphrey's love.

An unexpected alliance between spinsters… Confirmed spinster ELSPETH DEXINGTON works in the Dexington family linen manufacturing business dealing with logistics.

Help comes in an unexpected form. FLORENCIA WAULKER is the daughter of one of the Luddite organisers. She does all her blind father's correspondence, but when he orders an attack on the Dexington factory, she realises his belief in the need to rid factories of machines have gone too far. She sneaks out to warn the daughter of the factory owner, only to find herself caught up in a conspiracy. Can two spinsters work together to prevent a disaster, or two? Or is falling in love the real problem?

She can rescue herself but perhaps life is more fun together…. When Linda Dexington is kidnapped by Sir Bartleby de Muis, a man who has refused to take no for an answer, only one solution is possible: she must rescue herself. Escaping the carriage is not a problem, especially when they are held up by a highwayman. Escaping the unwanted attentions of Sir Bartleby may be a bit more problematic. Marti Babbitt got more than he bargained for with his attempted highway robbery. Instead of finding an easy mark, he discovered his long-lost childhood friend, Linda. Linda claims she can rescue herself, thank you very much, but when the kidnapper continues to pursue her, maybe Marti can rescue her after all...
