Books like An Uncommon Courtship by Martha Kirkland
Miss Eloise Kendall has always known Gregory Ward as a rascally dandy. When he returns from London to Threwsbury Park to fund his political ambitions, Eloise ignores his warm facade, recalling the boy she once called the schoolgirl of his youth. Yet when her brother Jeremy is kidnapped, Gregory mobilizes his resources—money for a ransom and cold steel to confront the villains—and the one‑time prejudices melt away. In the heat of rescue operations, past mistakes dissolve like winter frost, and a new romance blooms between the two.
Set against the backdrop of post‑Waterloo social unrest, the novel blends romance, intrigue, and Regency drama as the protagonists navigate personal history and external threats.
