Summary
Lord Ben Solo has no interest in the ladies of his degree. After years of associating with them and corresponding with even more, he fails to find a potential partner in any of the women he's met. In need of (and desperately wanting for) a wife, someone to care for and adore, he publishes an advertisement in the paper. Miss Rey Jackson, a woman of low social standing and no family of her own, decides to take a chance and inquire. At the very least, if he refuses her for a wife, she can see if there's a scullery maid position, right?
A marriage of convenience Regency AU.

Summary
There is no greater challenge to London’s ambitious mothers than a duke without a wife. Unfortunately for all concerned, Ben Solo has no intention of getting married, and is rich and powerful enough to make that insultingly clear. Ben has merely emerged in society to sponsor his godmother’s young ward. He cannot wait for her betrothal so he may vanish into obscurity once more.
Rey Niima is a young lady determined to find love in an unfamiliar setting. She is grateful to the duke for his reluctant support, but she’s also curious about his mysterious past. As time passes in his company, Rey finds the unthinkable taking place. Surely she isn’t foolish enough to fall in love with the ton’s most determined bachelor?
“It was those eyes as much as anything that had earned him his reputation as a man to be reckoned with. When he stared at a person, clear and unwavering, men grew uncomfortable. Women positively shivered.” ― Julia Quinn, The Duke and I.

Summary
“Uncle Lor! Really, I must protest! Is it not an arcane and wholly offensive practice to brandish me like cattle at the stocks?”
“Aurelia, please,” he beseeched, sounding far too tired as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Your presentation to the queen should have happened two years ago, but at your insistence I refrained. Now, though…” He let out a shallow wheezing cough and slouched back further in the richly upholstered wingback chair.
***
In which, Rey must find a suitor this season due to the ailing health of her Uncle Lor and an ill-fated promise to him. However, she wants to do so on her terms with a love match. Meanwhile, Benjamin Organa Solo, now Duke of Naboo, is back at his estate. His mother is determined he wed to finally settle down and secure their title, lands, and lineage.
As they both look for their match this season, they continue to find themselves pushed together through fate and circumstance. The only problem? They loathe each other.
A Reylo Regency AU heavily inspired by Austen's works, specifically Pride & Prejudice, as well as Bridgerton.
