A cosy country Christmastide.An ill-timed quest to expose injustice.A determined pursuit that sets everything asunder.When Eleanor and Annalise arrive at Stapleford Hall and begin to acclimatise to the slow rhythms of a secluded country life, they expect the remaining months of Eleanor's confinement to continue as uneventfully as they began.But then a Christmas outing sets them on an unexpected mission to seek justice for the women of Cambridgeshire who are subject to the tyranny of the University Proctors and the questionable practice of confining them to The Spinning House without reasonable cause or a fair trial.Their quest to expose this unlawful custom leads them on a path of spontaneous adventure, new acquaintances, and a chance to test their thespian skills and new disguises.It would be risky business in any event, but with Eleanor lying low and Giles expanding his countrywide search for her, the timing might have been better.As the Midwinter winds set over the frost-bitten Fens, unforeseen danger begins to crystallise in the powdery snow trails of their perilous footprints.

Regency Historical Fiction Series with LGBT themes.Perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, Bridgerton and Gentleman Jack! A failed marriage.A longing for escape.An unexpected romance.With her girlish days of blind innocence behind her, Eleanor finds herself more than just physically bruised, as she attempts to battle through her darkest days in the aftermath of an unprecedented season.Fallen from grace, traumatised, friendless, and alone, there seems little left to live for and even less to find meaningful occupation in as she vows never to return to her husband after his vile treatment of her.Far from being where she expected to be by now; prettily situated and much at her own leisure in a marriage of comfortable convenience, Eleanor's future has never been more uncertain.Taking refuge at Cuddington might keep her safe from his attempts to reclaim her, but shunned from society, dropped by her friends, and sinking her family into ever deeper depths of disappointment with her failures, it is a bitter-sweet refuge that soon has her longing for escape.Just when all seems lost and bleak, something unexpected begins to emerge from a most unlikely quarter and reminds Eleanor that life is still worth living, love is not dead, and not all new acquaintances are worthy of mistrust.Will this emerging new relationship help to restore all that was set asunder and show her what it really means to find friendship, trust, and love?

A delayed season.An irregular debutante.Dangerous liaisons of an uncommon kind.It's 1821 and Eleanor Ashlyn's glittering debut has finally come about. She has been in training for this moment her whole life and is expected to make an excellent match, for she is a renowned beauty and has been well-schooled by the finest tutors and masters. But it is not the train of her presentation gown, or her dance steps that trip her up and put her future prospects and reputation on the line...There had been no learning to prepare her for mixing with the rising classes, or how to interpret Mariella's odd dancing in the orangery and how it would undo her, awaken her to parts of herself she never knew existed. How it would take the shine off the season's offerings and lead to so much more than she could ever have bargained for.Will the anticipated moment that should prove her making, spell her fall from grace instead?Far from what she imagined possible, this turns out to be no ordinary season, but then, Eleanor is no ordinary debutante.A tale of innocence, awakening, deceit, and scandal.The first volume in a series of subversive tales from the life of an obstinate, headstrong female.
