Author: Cora Lee

Cora Lee is a National Bestselling author of Regency romance. She went on a twelve year expedition through the blackboard jungle as a high school math teacher before publishing Save the Last Dance for Me, the first book in the Maitland Maidens series. She then followed it up with six other novels and novellas ranging from sweet and traditional to spicy and suspenseful. When she’s not walking Rotten Row at the fashionable hour or attending the entertainments of the Season, you might find her participating in Regency Fiction Writers events, wading through her towering TBR pile, or eagerly awaiting the next Marvel movie release. If you’d like to find out more about Cora or her books you can sign up for her newsletter, or connect with her on Facebook, BlueSky, Bookbub, or Goodreads.

My TBR Pile Just Got Bigger

Cora Lee

Fall semester has begun, and I’ve got my reading list for the second class of my master’s program! We’ll be discussing lesser-studied (at least in school) aspects of US History, like the role women played in politics during the Revolution and the health crises of African Americans during the Civil War & Reconstruction. Those kind of niche topics are the things that interest me most, so even though it’s going to be a TON of reading and none of it is directly related to Georgian Britain, I’m looking forward to it all 😊

Cora Lee

Happy release day to me! When I Fall In Love is now available in ebook at all major retailers (including Kobo Plus)!

—–

Childhood friends reunite in their mutual struggle against their financial burdens. What magic might they find together under the Harvest Moon?

When Kit Mathison returns Sylvie Devereaux’s wayward goose, they re-ignite the friendship they’d kindled as adolescents and put a plan into action to relieve each others’ burdens: Kit will board with the Devereaux family while his home is repaired, providing money and labor in exchange for their hospitality. But when Kit proposes a marriage of convenience to make the arrangement permanent, Sylvie balks. She has always wanted to marry for love, and they don’t love each other…do they?

This short (1-2 hour read) novel is a sweet, kisses-only/closed door Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
