A Whimsical Notion: a regency romance

Honoria Bassett has always lived by reason. A well-run home, a carefully planned future, and a suitable husband—these are the things that matter. And Philip Townsend, her childhood friend and charming but infuriating neighbor, does not fit the mold. His estate is struggling, his priorities seem misplaced, and worst of all, her father would never approve of him.

Philip has little time for courtship, no matter how often Honoria’s sharp wit and captivating presence unsettle him. With the weight of his family’s estate on his shoulders, love is the furthest thing from his mind.

But when unforeseen troubles push them together, friendship gives way to longing, and forbidden attraction turns into something undeniable. As old family feuds threaten to keep them apart, they must decide: is love worth defying expectations, or will duty and pride tear them apart forever?

📖 Perfect for fans of clean Regency romance, slow-burn love stories, and childhood friends-to-lovers tropes, A Whimsical Notion is a heartwarming tale of love, longing, and the courage to follow one’s heart.
