A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister.

It's a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it's always been Ella Harrington's buffer. 

Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all.

A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn't interested in her anyway.

The Regency Rules by Blondeanddangerous

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of her own business and independence, must be in want of a man who wants more than a damn one-night-stand. Right?! Annie La Fontaine is fed up with modern dating. Too many non-committal guys, too many disappointments, and definitely not enough romantic yearning. So when she decides to create a monthly Regency-style ball in her small Australian town, she is unprepared for both its success AND for one very specific suitor who arrives unannounced (how rude!): Blake Byrne, her first love and the man who broke her heart years ago. Blake knows better than to try again with Annie - romancing his sister's best friend all those years before had been a mistake, and he is still putting the broken pieces of his life back together after a terrible accident. But in love, the heart wants what it wants, and as Annie and Blake find themselves unable to stop the gravitational pull back towards each other, will they be able to put their pasts behind them and their hearts back on the line? Or will the rules of a Regency romance be too challenging to overcome?
