Acquaintances become something more when they each discover the other’s true self. Can they find a way to navigate the perils of polite society and their feelings for each other? A lady by birth, Margaret Maitland was the toast of the ton until she gave birth to an illegitimate child and raised him without the help of his father. Twenty years later she is received in a few drawing rooms as a favor to her cousin the duke, but misses the friendships and camaraderie she’d enjoyed in her youth. A gentleman by circumstance, Stephen Eddington is the son of a tradesman who scrimped and saved to give his children every advantage. Twenty years after making influential friends at Cambridge, doors are open to Stephen that his father never imagined, but there are few people in the world that truly understand him...or want to. When Stephen’s nephew invites Margaret’s son to visit for the summer holiday, the two families join together to give the boys a care-free month before they return to their studies. And while the younger crowd makes merry, Margaret and Stephen’s companionable affection for each other begins to deepen… until their budding relationship becomes the talk of the town. How can they be together without damaging Stephen’s tenuous place in society? This short (1-2 hour read) novel is a sweet, kisses-only/closed door Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.

Recipe for Love: Take one chance encounter between two strangers, add a near-perfect first kiss…and temper it with a long-simmering grudge. Preheat the oven… Talented baker Max Mitchell has never quite gotten over the woman he met, kissed, and promptly repelled, all in the space of one momentous V-J Day celebration. So he should be thrilled when fate brings her back into his life—the only problem? She can’t stand him, and now that she’s moved in next door, it’s impossible to resist provoking her…or pining for her. Add a pinch of salt… After years of making ends meet, widow Frannie Haynes finally has the career of her dreams, as head accountant at Phoenix Pictures, and is ready to give her young daughter the world. Her calculations certainly don’t include letting her handsome neighbor anywhere near her heart, even if his extraordinary kiss—and the humiliation that followed—are seared into her memory. Bake until golden… But the more they’re forced into each other’s company, the more their bickering gives way to friendship—and passion. With temperatures steadily rising, Frannie and Max forge a stronger bond than either of them expected. But old heartbreaks are slow to heal, and they’ll have to learn to trust the magic between them if they want to save their second chance… *Author’s Note: Content notes/warnings for this and all my books can be found on my website: www.briannegillen.com/books/content-notes
