Not All Regency Heroes Wear Titles
- At least not the ones they've inherited!
In most Regency romances, the hero is easy to spot.
He’s titled.
He’s rich.
He walks into a ballroom like he owns it—because he usually does.
And sure, we swoon for him. Who wouldn’t?
But in my stories, the hero looks a little different.
Let me introduce you to two kinds of men—both deeply romantic, but only one of them will wreck you in the best way.
Hero #1: The Traditional Duke
He’s trained to charm.
He says all the right things.
He buys the flowers, plans the balls, and will absolutely rescue you from a scandal.
He’ll kneel for you—but never change for you.
Because men like this don’t have to.
I’ve written these men. Love their stories! You’ll enjoy the books because I added some of my unique twists, too! But I digress…
Hero #2: The Reluctant Gentle Man (but Not Gentleman)
He has no title.
No grand estate because he can’t own land as a Jew.
And no choice but to hide who he is to survive in society.
But he listens.
He bleeds when you’re hurting.
And when he chooses you—it’s not just a love story.
It’s a rebellion.
This is the kind of hero I write, too.
Jewish.
Misunderstood.
Emotionally layered.
Carrying the weight of legacy, faith, and expectations no ballroom would ever welcome.
He may not always say the perfect thing.
But he means it when he says it.
And that matters more than all the dukedoms in England - not to discount their appeal, of course!
So if you’re used to the man who always wins the heroine…
Meet the man who earns her.
The one who would never dare own the room—
because he’s too busy noticing how you feel in it.
These are the stories I write.
And these are the men who live in them.
You can meet one of them in Margins of Love, and another in Baron in Check.
But don’t say I didn’t warn you:
Once you fall for them,
the other dukes, earls, barons might just feel a little... boring.
