   Summary

   It’s a Rivals Regency AU!

   It's May 1808, and the O’Hara family has just moved to the countryside from London.

   Agatha, their only child, is in for a wild ride.

   After a meet-ugly with Mr. Campbell-Black, rake extraordinaire, in the Bluebell Wood, Taggie experiences a complicated range of feelings over her first few months in Rutshire. By that fall, she finds herself in love for the first time.

   However, her family’s financial situation, the strict rules of society, and her own principles make her path to her happy ending more convoluted than she ever thought possible.
