The Spinster's Scandalous Affair/A Proposal to Risk Their Fri Allen, Louise and James, Sophia

Two Regency romances in one volume, because sometimes one happily-ever-after isn't enough. In Louise Allen's *The Spinster's Scandalous Affair*, a woman who's supposedly past her prime discovers that passion has no expiration date — and that society's rules are made to be spectacularly broken. Sophia James's *A Proposal to Risk Their Friendship* tackles that eternal question: what happens when friendship crosses into something far more dangerous? Both stories deliver the wit, tension, and emotional stakes that make historical romance so satisfying — sharp banter, simmering attraction, and heroines who refuse to settle for less than they deserve. These aren't vapid debutantes waiting to be rescued; they're women with agency, intelligence, and desires of their own. Perfect for a long bath, a rainy afternoon, or when you need to remember that love stories set in ballgowns can still feel urgent and real.
