Summary
Mary looked out across the garden again. Tomorrow, she would catch the bus to her faculty building, not a packed commuter train with a two hour journey ahead of her, instead from a home where she had been told she was most welcome.
For the first time since her father's death, she allowed herself to imagine the future without a sense of dread attached to it. London suddenly didn't seem frightening at all.
It felt, quietly and unexpectedly, like her real life was about to begin.

Summary
She came to Gardiner & Associates to prove herself. He told her, on day one, that she was probably there because of her uncle. He also mentioned attending Oxford. She has not forgiven either.
Tom Hayward is brilliant, obsessive, completely lacking a filter, and - inconveniently - one of the most rigorous people Mary has ever met. They're co-counsel on the same case. It's going to be a long few months.

Summary
Princess Mary, the third of King Henry and Queen Jane’s five daughters, had gotten away with sneaking into Leeds United matches with her Yorkshire-born nanny, Mrs Hill, since she was a tween. A team beanie, a scarf and some facepaint rendered her completely anonymous and free to dance like a lunatic, raucously sing the team songs, and hurl abuse at the refs in peace.
Since Leeds acquired a humble but dangerous young striker, Yorkshire born-and-bred Tom Hayward, her fervour for the team had only grown. Then came the day the tabloid press spotted Princess Mary in the crowd in her Hayward jersey and she became the subject of several viral TikToks and, of course, the ire of her mother.

Summary
Thomas Hayward recognized a few universal truths about life. One, that a single man who was not in possession of a good fortune must work for everything he has. Two, that love was not something that people merely acquired without equal amounts of hard work and finally, that you always wanted Mrs. Gardiner on your side.

Summary
Edward Hayward was, in many respects, a typical sixteen-year-old boy, growing up in 1832.

So imagine his surprise once he wakes up after a terrible argument, to find he is in fact in 1815 and witnessing the beginning of his parent's love story?

Summary
Mary has hayfever. Mrs Bennet is a menace. Tom Hayward tries his best to help. He gets it right most of the time.
An excuse to write some post-engagement fluff and angst for our two favourite fictional regency couple.
(Title taken from Wordsworth poem Book Fourth [Summer Vacation], "she" refers to a tree swaying in the wind but it felt like an apt way to refer to a woman suffering from hayfever so I went with it.)
