People who want Victorian-set historicals without titled types
Listen. I got what you want. Seriously, if this is what people want to read, I should be a freaking best-selling author.** Most of my books are set in the 1880s -- I've done a lot of research about that era and feel comfortable there.
UPDATED: Joanna pointed out that links would be a good idea. These are all to Amazon, except the one that's only available via All Romance Ebooks.
Here's my list:
Somebody Wonderful --1880s hero=NYC cop/ heroine=wealthy but not a lady-like sort of a person (based on Pauline from Perils of Pauline)
Somebody to Love --heroine=mixed-race chef/ hero=brother of SW heroine. Granted the guy is wealthy, but he doesn't have a title. Okay? Good.
Someone To Cherish --hero=NYC cop/heroine=impoverished innocent
Powder of Love --hero=sort of a detective/ heroine=okay she's a wealthy heiress, daughter of nobility. But she's half American and she lives in NYC.
The Mad Baron --Does a baron have to count? He's hardly a duke or earl. She's a shop-girl and he's an addict.
novellas:
Seducing Miss Dunaway --She's a middle class person/he's ....oops. I can't even recall what he is.
Learning Charity --heroine=prostitute/hero=American businessman
Protecting Miss Samuels --heroine=daughter of mill owner/hero=man hired to protect her.
Claws on Silk --ha! a menage with both heroes=common as dirt. She is a commoner, though she does have money.
Male/male with Bonnie Dee:
The Nobleman and the Spy --yes, one's a nobleman. But he's not English! And the other is absolutely not even related to a peer of the realm.
Seducing Stephen --Stephen's so middle class it hurts. So what if the other guy isn't.
The Gentleman and the Rogue --One hero's a street lad/ the other is . . . Oh. it's Regency set, so never mind. But listen, a baronet barely counts.
House of Mirrors --one hero's a preacher's son, the other. . . something of a mystery.
The Psychic and the Sleuth --1880s Very middle-class heroes. VERY MUCH NOT NOBILITY. Good.
Well. There is more blue blood than I recall, but still. . . .My cowriters and I should be on best-selling lists big-time if this is what the reading public wants.**
