Julia Thorne

Classically influenced, Julia Thorne had always had a weakness for historical romance, spawned from timeless works by Jane Austen and Maria Edgeworth. The youngest of three sisters, hours were spent inside classic love stories when she should have been out playing as a child. Not that her parents did not wish her to attend traditional school courses, but Julia’s love for English literature prevailed.

After graduation, this lover of tales launched her valiant effort to convince readers to leap with her into another century, where love is akin to great spoonfuls, and decorum is paramount. Julia now lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family, where she loves to travel, go on nature walks, and sip tea while working on her next book.

    The Duke’s Inconvenient Lady: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Inconvenient Courtships Book 1)

    She was hired to be invisible… He had forgotten how to feel.

    After burying her mother and losing everything to her late father’s debts, Clara Ellsworth has no home, no fortune, and no place in a world that has quietly moved on without her.

    At three-and-twenty, she has learned to go unnoticed, and she has made her peace with being forgotten.

    Until a duke sees her.

    Cedric Fairfax, the Duke of Farenwoode, has not truly spoken to a soul in four years. Since the death of the wife he could not save, he wants nothing but silence and solitude, and a life that asks no feeling of him.

    A companion who keeps to the shadows is exactly what his household requires. She expects nothing, she asks for nothing, and she will never trouble him with a heart he cannot answer.

    It seems a simple arrangement, proper and safe, until it proves to be neither.

    Because the more time Cedric spends with the quiet, self-effacing woman beneath his roof, the more he begins to see everything she has taken such care to hide.

    And the more Clara learns what it means to be truly seen, the more dangerous it becomes for her to remain unnoticed.

    A duke does not fall in love with his mother’s companion. Society forbids it, and his grief forbids it even more.

    But some hearts were never going to listen.

    A clean Regency romance featuring a brooding duke, a quietly unforgettable heroine, and a love that teaches two wounded souls to hope again.

    Perfect for readers who love emotionally guarded heroes, strong yet gentle heroines, slow-burning chemistry, and passionate romance with a deeply rewarding payoff.

    No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just a beautifully earned happily ever after.

    A Practical Marriage with a Beast: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Practical Marriages Book 2)

    They called him a beast… She saw a man no one else had bothered to look at.

    When Edith Hayton arrives at the mist-bound gates of Barendale Manor, she carries nothing but a case of saved books, the last of her coins, and the quiet ruin of everything she once had.

    The coachman warns her to turn back.

    The villagers cross themselves at the duke’s name.

    The locals call him the Beast, and they swear no woman who enters that house leaves it whole.

    At four-and-twenty, Edith is already invisible, forgotten, a baron’s daughter stripped to nothing by her father’s debts. She has no reason to fear monsters.

    She has already met the worst kind, and survived them.

    Marcus Barrington, Duke of Barendale, is everything the gossip promised, and nothing she expected. Beneath the sharp tongue and the closed doors lives a man who reads Virgil to his dead brother’s empty chair, who guards a crumbling library as though it were the last sacred thing he owns, and who has not been truly looked at by another soul in two long, silent years.

    Edith was meant only to catalogue his books.

    She was never meant to catalogue him.

    But the more time the so-called Beast of Barendale spends with the quiet bluestocking who treats his madness as grief and his cruelty as a wound, the more dangerous it becomes for both of them to remain unseen.

    He believed himself beyond saving.

    She believed herself beyond being chosen.

    But some monsters are only men.

    And some women are only waiting to be seen.

    Perfect for readers who love quiet tension, deep emotional payoff, and a hero who falls first, and harder than he ever intended. A captivating romance novels with no cheating, no cliffhangers.

    Just a beautiful happily ever after.

    A sharp-tongued spinster. A notorious duke. One chance rescue is more than enough… and a battle neither of them is willing to lose.”

    Elizabeth Spencer has survived the ton’s cruelty for years with one weapon: her wit.

    They call her the Spinster Scorpion, poor, proud, and far too difficult to be pitied… or pursued.
    And Elizabeth prefers it that way.

    Until Connor Merrick, the Duke of Stonefield, makes the unforgivable mistake of assuming she is just another pretty woman he’s already forgotten.

    Twice.

    Now Connor is determined to prove he isn’t the careless rake Elizabeth believes him to be.
    But winning Elizabeth Spencer will take far more than charm, wealth, or a title.

    Because Elizabeth doesn’t want his attention.
    She doesn’t want his help.
    And she certainly doesn’t want the dangerous heat that sparks every time he looks at her like she matters.

    But when the Season closes in, scandal begins to circle, and Elizabeth’s secrets threaten to unravel,

    Connor is forced to choose between
    the life he’s always lived…
    …and the woman who refuses to be saved.

    A deliciously sharp Regency enemies-to-lovers romance filled with banter, longing, forced proximity, and a rake duke who falls first, and falls hard.
