The Trengrouse Ball: Book 4

A forbidden love story with animal antics to upset the normal order of things! (Or, a Cinderella story with a difference…)

Val Muffet is a Cit—a rich, well-educated, beautifully-mannered man, but definitely not one of the ton, despite being invited to the Trengrouse Ball.

Lady Kerenza Trengrouse’s family is amongst the great and the good of the land, and she expects to marry a lord. An earl, at least!

What could bring these two to care about each other? Enter Genevieve, the lost, forlorn but definitely challenging baboon, given to the Muffets by the Prince Regent himself.

Genevieve is not invited to the ball, but she comes anyway, and life will never be the same again for Val or Kerenza!

The Trengrouse Ball books can all be read as stand-alones – the timelines overlap, but each story is separate. See the full series: The Trengrouse Ball

This story was first published in the anthology The Regent’s Menagerie, Volume 1.

Second Chance at Christmas
Elizabeth Leydin

The Trengrouse Ball: Book 3

Widowed, pregnant Lady Demelza Mandeville returns to her family home, Trengrouse Hall, after her husband’s recent death, dreading meeting family friend, Sir Denzell Kelynack, who jilted her in her first Season.

Denzell looks forward to the meeting—he wants to know why Demelza had jilted him eight years ago. And what role did his needy, unstable mother play in that?

Finding out the truth, and finding a path to a new life, is complicated by Demelza’s pregnancy. If the baby is a boy, she’ll be bound to the Mandeville estates until he’s an adult; if a girl, she’s free to live her own life while a Mandeville cousin inherits the estate.

The Trengrouse Ball is a promise of things to come, but will the promise come true at Christmas?
