Ever since she was injured in a terrible accident, Cordelia Williams has felt adrift. The accident claimed more than her limb; it ruined her reputation and destroyed her dream of becoming a famous painter.

Worried that her disability makes her a disgrace to her prominent Regency family, Cordelia tries to find other ways to contribute to her family's legacy. But Cordelia's mother is determined to keep her hidden at their country estate--especially after a wealthy gentleman begins courting her beautiful sister. 

When Cordelia's father arranges her exit from high society, Cordelia is faced with a difficult decision: accept the quiet life her family planned for her, or overcome her fear of being seen.

Wicked Heart (Brazen Bluestockings #1) by EmilyMorgans

In a family of dark-haired children, blonde Ivy has always felt like the odd duck out. Always finding herself in trouble, she sees her potential redemption when the village's new visitor asks her to show him around. Everyone is sure to take notice when she's on the arm of a handsome man. But her new friend is more charming than she expected, and she soon hopes for a lot more than sightseeing. If only she could shake the feeling that he is hiding something from her... Sam Hemsworth is an agent working for the Rose Agency. A new case brings him to a picturesque village where any visitor is the latest news. The constant attention from the residents is not ideal when you need to discover someone's darkest secrets. Being attracted to the daughter of the family he's sent to investigate isn't overly helpful, either. He had better complete his mission as quickly as possible before Ivy's dog steals his wooden leg again... or the dog's owner steals his heart.

Witty, daring and with a secret knack for painting Frances Granville arrives at London with two convictions: one, that she is not interested in men, especially not in lords who parade impeccably around courting innocent young ladies at balls only to close their nights in brothels. Two, that if she does not secure a husband, her father will make a match with someone at least twice her age and half her wits. Franny navigates the courting season, her loving and quaint family and her attraction to a certain Bridgerton brother with a charming smile while she finds her own definition of what it means to be a woman in the Regency era.
