    Summary

    This Regency-era tale is simply a little romantic, slow burn fun for our lovely Sidlotte. For the most part, everyone is beautiful, kind and witty--execpt for our known villains. And let’s not question the propriety of too much. Written by Butter, she promises no heavy thinking or excessive darkness – it’s summer after all!

    If you’d like to hop on board, we’ll update weekly or more (we’re trying to get back on schedule!). XOXO Butter and Renee too.

    Summary

    It's 1979, and Charlotte Heywood has just been relocated to Sanditon—a little seaside town. Enter Sidney Parker: devastatingly handsome, captain of every sports team that matters, and has an ego so massive it requires its own zip code. Charlotte knows boys like that didn't grow in sleepy Wilingden. Of course, she'd rather eat sand than admit it.

    Since her well-meaning but clueless parents decided to uproot her life without consulting her, she figures it's time to shed her "good girl" image. If they want to treat her like baggage, she may as well be the kind that comes with a warning label.

    Her master plan has one tiny problem: Charlotte knows about as much about seduction as she does about quantum physics. Enter Esther Denham, her wickedly wise next-door neighbor, who's ready to give her all the help she needs.

    Sidney Parker has turned avoiding commitment into an art form. Why choose one when he can have them all? He's yet to hear the word "no." Sure, his mother insists that someday a girl will turn his head so far it will fall off and he will voluntarily hand over his heart. Nah! He's got a good thing going. Why mess with perfection?

    Famous last words.

    Summary

    “There is a Mr. Parker here to see you, Your Grace,” Tilling informed her.

    The unexpected mention of a name from the past made Charlotte jump in her chair. She gripped the edge of the desk lightly, willing herself not to show any surprise.

    “Mr. Parker?” she croaked, cleared her throat, and tried again with more composure. “Mr. Parker?”

    *** Or ***

    Four years has passed since Charlotte's heartbroken departure from Sanditon. Since then, much has happened.
    She is now a duchess, a widowed duchess.
    Tom is broke.
    Sidney is homeless.

    *** Or ***

    This is a rather angst-free story of two people reconnecting four years after having been torn apart by events out of their control. Is it possible to rekindle the tiny flame from back then? Especially now, where he has nothing and she has everything.
