What Is Regency Romance?
Regency romance sets love stories during the British Regency era of the early nineteenth century. They capture the rigid social etiquette, aristocratic courtships, and scandal-filled ballrooms of London high society and countryside estates.
Popular storylines feature witty ton scandals, marriages of convenience, and brooding nobility. Readers flock to this genre for the delicious tension that defies societal rules.
Regency Subgenres, Every Heat Level.
We accept a wide range of Regency subgenres across all heat levels:
Tension Built By Rigid Social Rules.
Rigid social rules build high personal stakes and natural narrative tension. Here are core tropes we love seeing in our submission inbox:
Marriage of Convenience
Financial pressures or sudden social scandals force two leads into an unexpected marriage. Shared domestic spaces slowly turn duty into genuine passion.
The Reformed Rake
A notorious aristocratic rake swears off genuine commitment until a sharp-witted lead challenges his cynical outlook.
Secret Rendezvous and Stolen Glances
Strict chaperones force the leads to communicate through subtle gestures, hidden notes, and stolen moments in garden gazebos.
Enemies to Lovers
Rival noble families or misjudged first impressions create sharp friction. Mandatory attendance at the same seasonal balls forces unresolved tension to the surface.
Class Differences and Wallflowers
An overlooked heroine or an outsider navigates the snobbery of the ton, catching the eye of an unexpected lord.
The Widow's Second Season
A young widow returns to society under pressure to remarry for security, not love. She never expected the ton's most notorious bachelor to make her believe in it again.
