The Lydian Inheritance
Charlotte Lydian desperately wanted to see her nephew Randal married. And so she used quiet, shy Beth as a pawn in her game, maneuvering Beth into becoming Randal's assistant. But Charlotte's plan worked only partially -- Beth fell in love with the icy-cool historian while Randal avoided romantic entanglements at all cost.
When this plan fell through, Charlotte invited a second girl to join them at the Lydian family mansion. Avis was beautiful, wealthy, and very sophisticated. Poor Beth felt like a drab moth next to a dazzling butterfly --and she was forced to become an unwilling participant in the relationship between Avis and Randal. Only now Beth was a pawn in Avis's game....

I discovered Iris Bromige in 1999. I was working in the city and desperate for a romance to read during my lunchbreak! Found Bromige in the city library. I had to sacrifice the regency era. This was not my first Bromige but it is my favourite.
Beth is a quiet heroine, lacking in confidence. She works at hero's aunt's house as a general admin person.
Randall is the opposite. Confident and fending off women all wanting him.
This is the story of how Beth steals his heart. It is angsty and got into my heart.
