    As an English learner I adore the way you write ❤ you don’t describe things emotions inner voices as meticulously as other regency writers do . Listening to those unimportant long described details may be tediously boring and you don’t use difficult literary words . it makes your books thoroughly readable. Your books are suitable and tantalising not only for native English speakers but for us English learners ❤❤ you help us a lot 🙏 love from Turkey

      Don't tempt me :D I have a bad habit of thinking every little story I write ought to be a series... and then never finishing off ACTUAL series!
      With that said, sorry, no plans to make this into a series at all. I'm finishing the Blushing Brides series then diving into an 8 (!) book series based around a gentleman horse breeder and his adopted daughters later this year. Prequel out later this year and hopefully book 1 too at least!

Looks like white bags filled with soil or similar. Further away, there is a wall. Closer up there isn't, but there are those white objects stacked along the future line.
