A collection of 4 standalone Clean & Wholesome Historical Regency romance short stories with guarantee HEA and no cliffhangers. Until Tomorrow Miss Grace Fletcher is a free spirit. An unconventional woman, she has had no interest in meeting any of the suitors that her father desired her to marry. Mr. Oliver Gale, her friend since childhood, had never seen her as any more than a sibling, yet also someone who he trusted wholeheartedly. The two attend a ball that is seemingly like any other, except in attendance is the handsome Mr. Montgomery, Oliver’s friend from the south visiting for the winter. The man is charming and well-learned, and is the first person to ever cause Grace a moment of pause. Oliver, noticing Grace’s initial reaction to Mr. Montgomery, grows ever more uncomfortable, reliving memories and shared experiences as the night grows old. Will he be able to finally let Grace go to a man whom he calls a friend? Or will he decide that he knows who she truly belongs with? The Magnolia Lord Colborne is an Earl with a deep appreciation for the arts. One evening while at his friend’s home, he is introduced to the infamous Magnolia, a painter whose attention to detail far exceeds any that he had seen before. His friend informs him that no one knows who the Magnolia is, only that his artwork is highly sought after by many of society’s elite. On a trip to London, he meets a mysterious woman who appeared to have stepped out of one of the Magnolia’s paintings. He and his friend are later invited to an exhibition of the Magnolia’s artwork, where he meets the same mysterious woman. What he discovers there is a secret so intriguing that he nor the mysterious woman will never be the same. Sunlight and Shadows Greenview Manor is a pleasant estate, and belongs to the well-respected Honeyfield family. Employed there are only the finest workers, including Miss Bannerman. When Mr. Honeyfield finally seeks to replace his butler, the entire household, including Miss Bannerman, is surprised when he hires Mr. Clarke, a young and handsome man. He soon discovers a family with a broken past and deep affection for one another. Miss Bannerman and Mr. Clarke immediately take an interest in one another, but fear what their fellow servants or the master of the house will think of their relationship. They go to great lengths to conceal it, and in the end, it proves to be a detrimental mistake. What will Mr. Honeyfield say if he discovers their secret? Will they ever be able to be together, and not have their relationship be limited to stolen moments, passing by one another in the halls? The First Impression Sophia Worthington has a secret admirer. One evening at a ball, her father informs her of a suitor that she is to meet.

Pages : 621
Book Description
In this four-book ebook bind-up of romantic, fairy-tale-like YA novels from bestselling author Jody Hedlund, three separate noblewomen—Rosemarie, Juliana, and Sabine—face difficult choices, dangers, and painful truths as they work to find a way to protect their futures. And as each meets one of the noblest knights in the land, they must also protect their hearts. This bind-up contains: The Vow: In this novella prequel to An Uncertain Choice, a young Lady Rosemarie finds herself developing her first romantic feelings, directed toward the son of a visiting noble couple. But just as the two begin to explore what their feelings toward each other may be, a terrible illness sweeps through the estate and leaves both of Rosemarie’s parents gravely ill. As Rosemarie begins taking over duties in the castle, she uncovers a vow her parents have kept secret … one that could change her life, and her romantic future, forever. An Uncertain Choice: On the cusp of her eighteenth birthday, the beautiful and wealthy Lady Rosemarie knows it is her destiny is to fulfill a vow made by her parents, one that dictates she enter a convent on her eighteenth birthday. But as she prepares to enter the religious life in one month, Lady Rosemarie receives the news that there is an exception to the Ancient Vow: if she finds true love and is married by her birthday, she is freed from the obligation to become a nun. At the urging of her godfather, she agrees to allow the three handsomest and noblest knights in the land the chance to win her heart in thirty days. But when the knights’ arrival results in a series of attacks within her land, she begins to wonder if the convent is the best place after all. If only one of the knights—the one who appears the most guilty—had not already captured her heart. A Daring Sacrifice: Juliana is the daughter of a lord, but the circumstances of her father’s death have forced her to live in the woods of Wessex disguised as a young man. There, she helps the poor, starving peasants around her survive while her cruel uncle rules the lands that are rightfully hers. When she is captured during one of her raids by a neighboring lord, her life complicates more: her captor is Collin, a boy she knew in her past life, and he immediately recognizes her as both a notorious bandit and his redheaded former friend. As her uncle closes in on her location, and the bounty on her head increases, Juliana takes refuge in Collin’s castle. But the longer she spends with Collin, the more she questions her past decisions—and the more her heart bends toward Collin’s charms. For Love & Honor: Long ago, Lady Sabine gave up the hope of marriage due to a skin blemish on her hands and arms that, if revealed, could cause her to be branded as a witch and place her in tremendous danger. And who would want to love a woman so flawed? Instead, she tells no one of her curse and devotes her life to finding beautiful art and relics, purchasing them with her inherited wealth. Unbeknownst to her, however, her current journey to Sir Bennet’s estate is not to purchase a new piece, but her grandmother’s attempt to marry her off. At the same time, Sir Bennet’s mother has asked him to wed Sabine in order to secure the monies needed to repay the family’s debts. As Sabine and Bennet get to know each other, they find they are more matched than either could have expected, but their dual secrets linger in the background—and both, if not revealed in time, could lead to not only heartbreak, but their demise. Discussion questions for An Uncertain Choice, A Daring Sacrifice, and For Love & Honor are also included.
