Marilyn Clay’s Regency Romance series spans nearly three decades of publishing, from Bewitching Lord Winterton in 1995 to Jane Austen’s Regency England in 2023. The eleven books in the series are standalone Regency-era love stories, each set in the world of English high society during the early 1800s.
The earlier books (Bewitching Lord Winterton through Miss Darby’s Debut) were published by Zebra Books in the 1990s, when the traditional Regency romance subgenre was at its peak. Clay returned to the series with self-published titles starting with A Pretty Puzzle in 2012, continuing through The Wrong Miss Fairfax and Jane Austen’s Regency England. Clay published The Regency Plume, an international newsletter devoted to the Regency period, for sixteen years, giving her deep knowledge of the era’s customs, language, and social rules.
Each book can be read independently, and readers can start anywhere in the series. The titles range from lighter fare like Felicity’s Folly and The Uppity Earl to stories with more social complexity. Clay’s Regency romances sit in the traditional style that predates the steamier modern Regency romance trend.
