In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it…When Faith Shackleford found herself in the unenviable position of having to accompany her irascible father to convalesce in the genteel seaside town of Torquay, she envisioned three months of wearying monotony. She certainly wasn’t expecting to be intrigued by the forlorn empty house situated next to their own elegant villa, especially when she discovered it belonged to a handsome captain in the Royal Navy who was currently away at sea. Unfortunately, she never imagined that fascination might cost her her life.Roan Carew grew up an orphan on the streets of Torquay, until he was press ganged into the Royal Navy at eleven. Through a combination of determination, shrewdness and sheer bloody mindedness he rose to the rank of Captain, but he was certainly no gentleman nor ever would be. Indeed, his purchase of Redstone House, a rundown mansion in Torquay’s wealthiest district was more of an impulse than an aspiration towards respectability. He most certainly did not expect the house to come with a thirty-year-old secret that someone was prepared to commit murder to protect.Naturally Reverend Shackleford, who it was generally agreed would be 'in if he fell in,’ simply had to investigate…Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam.Praise for the Shackleford Sisters:‘Very funny, kept laughing out loud when reading them.’‘Such an entertaining series, full of laughter and delightfully quirky characters.’‘Terrific series, very funny.’‘Thoroughly enjoyed this series, love the humour.’‘There is constant action and so much funny banter, I couldn’t help laughing.’‘These were wonderful.

In this Regency romantic comedy series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it...Reverend Augustus Shackleford’s mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend’s opinion they didn’t possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness.Grievously wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar, Nicholas Sinclair was only recently returned to Blackmore after receiving news of his estranged father’s unexpected death. After an absence of twenty years, the new Duke was well aware it was his duty to marry and produce an heir as quickly as possible. However, tormented by recurring nightmares after his horrific experiences during the battle, Nicholas had no taste to brave the ton’s marriage mart in search of a docile obedient wife.Never in his wildest dreams did Reverend Shackleford envisage receiving an offer for his eldest daughter from the new Duke of Blackmore. Of course, the Reverend was well aware he was fudging it a bit in describing Grace as respectful, meek or dutiful, nevertheless, he could never have imagined that his eldest daughter’s unruliness might end up ruining them all.A #1 Bestseller in Regency Historical Romance on Amazon, Grace is perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam.Please note - While these books do not contain an excessive number of spicy scenes, they are not closed door and as such would not be considered 'clean.'

** Please note: This is not a Charlotte Lucas marries Thomas Bennet story.** It is a full length novel of 100,000+ words.** **ALSO: At the end of the eBook, one of my previous stories is included for free.**Thomas Bennet, the master of Longbourn for a little more than a year, is hunted by Fanny Gardiner. She has set her cap for him and he has shown no interest in her at all. Not used to being denied, his disinterest is what pushes Fanny to plan to entrap him.With the aid of her older sister, and to a lesser extent her father, Fanny compromises Bennet at an assembly. Although he tries to make it as unpalatable as possible to be his spouse, in order to induce her to refuse to marry him, she demands that they become husband and wife anyway, believing she will get her way as she always has in the past. Fanny and those who assisted her learn that there are consequences to be paid for their actions, in some cases, rather a heavy price is exacted.Thankfully, Edward Gardiner does not agree with his father and sisters. As such he is the only Gardiner welcomed by the Bennets. Fanny has a rude awakening when she thinks her brother is there to advocate for her when instead he berates her for her dishonourable behaviour and actions.Due to the fact Bennet needs an heir because of the entail which will leave the estate to a Collins if no son is born, as distasteful as it is for him to consummate the marriage, and couple with his wife beyond that, Bennet holds his nose and does so. The need for a male child becomes all the more important as he is already in receipt of a letter written for the illiterate Clem Collins in which the latter boasts of the birth of a son named Clem William after his father.Bennet is greatly relieved when Fanny falls pregnant very soon after the wedding so that he can cease going to her at night. She insists she will bear a son; more marital relations are not any more palatable to Fanny, but a daughter is born. Two days later Fanny succumbs to childbed fever.A year or so earlier Netherfield Park is purchased by the Devons. Little is known about them by the locals, and to date, they have not resided at their estate near Meryton.That all changes when they arrive not long after Fanny’s passing. They have a son and two daughters. The son is a little younger than Bennet and is married so he is not present, one daughter is about 22 and the other 16. It does not take long before romance blooms between the master of Longbourn and the eldest Devon daughter.When things get serious between the two, certain disclosures are made. If they marry, will they only have daughters, or will they be blessed with a son or sons?At some point, the story shifts to 1811 and the usual suspects arrive in the Meryton area. Will Darcy be his arrogant and rude self? Will Bingley be the irresolute man he can be? Will his sisters be supercilious? What of Lady Catherine, Collins, Wickham? Will they impact this tale and if so, how.The answers to the above questions, as well as many other things, will be revealed as the story unfolds. Read more
