Blurb
When Robert Kemble stumbles across Victoria Lyndon in a hedgerow maze, he can't believe his eyes. Victoria's father told her an earl would never marry a vicar's daughter, & he was right. But even though Victoria doesn't enjoy her new life as a governess, when Robert asks her to be his mistress, she refuses, unable to sacrifice her honour.

A Night Like This
Same author's Regency charm with forbidden attraction and an age gap, but the heat stays tamer and the burn stretches longer.
When He Was Wicked
Another Regency forbidden longing with a second chance at love, though grief over a dead husband makes it notably heavier.
You Were Mine
Another reunion of lovers separated by class expectations and family pressure, with an age gap—but modern, grief-heavy, and considerably steamier.
Thief
Same first-love-never-faded ache, though far darker and messier: adultery, manipulation, and only a hard-won HFN instead of a tidy happy ending.
Cassie Jordan
Also a period romance about a woman denied the man above her station; gentler and nearly chaste, with a bittersweet rather than certain ending.
Never Too Far
Forbidden love plus a second chance after a betrayal, but contemporary, stepsibling-flavoured, and much more explicit than the restrained Regency courtship.
