Emily Barnet

Born in the United Kingdom, Emily’s early years were shaped by the diverse landscapes and rich history of her homeland. However, due to her father’s work, her family spent some formative years in the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. It was amidst the misty moors and ancient castles of Scotland that Emily’s imagination was ignited, and her love for storytelling began to flourish.

After returning to England and completing her studies in literature at Oxford University, Emily ventured across the Atlantic to the United States, where she settled with her family in the heart of Kansas City. Surrounded by the bustling energy of urban life, she found solace in her writing, drawing inspiration from the vibrant culture and diverse community around her.

Despite her love for city life, Emily cherishes her countryside home in Vermont, where she retreats during the summer months to recharge and reconnect with nature. Nestled among the rolling hills and picturesque landscapes, her Vermont retreat serves as a sanctuary for her creative pursuits, providing the perfect backdrop for her Regency romance novels.

With her loyal golden retriever, Winston, by her side, Emily divides her time between her two homes, finding inspiration in both the hustle and bustle of city living and the tranquility of rural landscapes. Driven by her passion for storytelling, she dreams of sharing the magic of Regency romance with readers around the world, inviting them to escape into a world where love knows no bounds and happy endings await.

    “She is promised to another.
    He is not the man he claims to be.
    In the quiet countryside, love becomes the greatest risk of all.”

    Lady Eliza Vexley has accepted a sensible engagement, one her family approves and society applauds. Yet as her wedding approaches, a quiet certainty troubles her heart: something essential is missing. When she is invited to spend several weeks at her aunt’s peaceful Somerset estate, Eliza welcomes the respite from wedding preparations she cannot quite bring herself to celebrate.

    What she does not expect is the estate’s reserved steward.

    Rhys Elwood tends Thornfield Cottage with rare precision and an unmistakable air of refinement that does not quite suit his position. Courteous but distant, he keeps careful boundaries, and secrets he cannot afford to reveal. Drawn together by a shared love of learning, gardens, and quiet observation, Eliza and Rhys find themselves forming a connection neither intended nor can safely pursue.

    For Eliza is promised to another man.
    And Rhys is hiding the truth of who he really is.

    As autumn deepens and feelings grow impossible to ignore, both must decide whether duty is worth the cost of a love that feels achingly right. Because in a world governed by reputation and restraint, the most dangerous choice may be listening to one’s heart.

    A clean Regency romance of quiet longing, hidden identity, and love that blooms where it should not.
