The Unruly Heart of Miss Darcy by Erin Edwards

The Unruly Heart of Miss Darcy — Erin Edwards

The vibe

A swoony, Regency-inspired queer romance with Pride & Prejudice nostalgia, Bridgerton-level yearning, and a heroine learning to choose love—even when society says she shouldn’t.

What it’s about (spoiler-light)

Georgiana Darcy has learned the hard way what one kiss can cost.

She’s only ever kissed one girl before, and the blackmail that followed nearly destroyed her reputation. Since then, Georgiana has built a life designed to be quiet and careful—filled with books, music, and staying safely out of trouble.

Falling in love with another girl is not part of the plan.

Then she meets Kitty Bennet, and everything shifts. A moonlit kiss turns their friendship into something tender and dangerous, and Georgiana follows Kitty back to the Bennets’ home… only to come face-to-face with the man who knows Georgiana’s secret—and once used it against her.

With fear tightening around her heart, Georgiana has to decide what matters more: protecting her family name by pretending her feelings fit society’s rules… or risking everything for the chance to build a future where she and Kitty can love openly.
