Vincent Humphrey has never been entirely comfortable. His family loves him, but he's very aware that the rest of the world only tolerates his slow, stuttered speech. When a baby girl appears on his doorstep one evening, his carefully constructed life begins to fray at the edges, and he vows to uncover her true identity and return his life to normal. To make matters worse, the ever-charming Thomas Thorne has ingratiated himself into the Humphrey family, leaving Vincent almost permanently off-kilter. And the most unsettling thought of all: perhaps he won't want either to leave. This is the 2nd book of the Humphrey Chronicles, but can be read as a standalone. Book 1's plot summary is available in my guidebook A Lovely Reader's Guide to the Humphrey Chronicles! Completed September 2023 (~88000 words)

Never one with an eye for business, he's worried he might become the reason that his illustrious' family's longstanding titles and privileges come crashing down around him in the form of bankruptcy. He needs someone who can understand the books. Pity that his family's only concern is what woman he chooses to court.

It was a perfect plan. But things always seem to go awry when meddling sisters, fallen branches, and wretched feelings enter the mix.

Somerset, 1817. For three years, Edmund Vale's elder brother has been missing. Frederick was the heir to Hawthorne Hall. Edmund was content to remain the second son-to have his books, his horses, and a life free from the responsibilities that would one day belong to his brother. Then Frederick comes home. And he isn't alone. Laurence Ashcombe is charming, impertinent, secretive-and apparently determined to get under Edmund's skin. Edmund dislikes him immediately. Unfortunately, Laurence knows where Frederick has been. As Frederick's return unsettles Hawthorne Hall, old secrets begin to surface. There are questions nobody wishes to answer, expectations nobody can escape, and feelings that two gentlemen in 1817 have very little freedom to acknowledge.

What if the meet-cutes you write started coming true in real life? Harper Lin's debut novel made her the next big thing in romance. That was two years ago. Now she's surviving on delivery apps and denial, holed up in her apartment, writing absolutely nothing. When her agent begs her to write something (their careers depend on it!), Harper does the only thing she can think of: she writes the most clichéd meet-cute in existence, steps outside to get coffee, and gets hit by a car. She wakes up to find the scene she wrote has come to life. Literally. What follows is a series of increasingly unhinged meet-cutes manifesting in Harper's real life, a mysterious new neighbor who owns her book, a best friend who thinks the spreadsheet is a cry for help, a neighbor down the hall who has very strong opinions about smut, and the slow dawning realization that the magic isn't giving her what she asked for. It's giving her what she actually wants. Which would be nice. If she knew what that was. [Standalone] Contemporary Romance | Romantic Comedy | Magical Realism
