The four Misses Bickering are too stubborn to marry unless it's for love.
They have just enough money to rent a bakery in Leicester Square, where bohemian earls rub elbows with ladies of the night, and all manner of people in between.
To earn a living, they have to stick together — and as their name implies, that isn't easy!
Meet Anna, Jane, Emery and Rose. None of them are married, and each one has different dreams.
Anna still longs for the life of drawing rooms and lace; she hasn't given up her dreams of a fine marriage even though her life now is very different. Jane has never met a man who didn't disappoint her, and wants the till full of good, solid coins. Emery has never planned to marry a man and won't start now; what she loves is making rich, savory bread in the sisters' new bakery. And Rose has yet to dream dreams of her own — but she starts now!
Mystery men, men who leap into the bakery, men in ruffled collars and men who are rude, drunken men and men working on the road… and many kinds of women! Leicester Square bustles with all types of life and the Misses Bickering are in the middle of it all. It's the last days of the wars with France and America, political movements are surging, prices are soaring, and these ladies are determined to make their bakery pay. If they're going to marry, it's only for love.
Ladies' Own Bakery is a Regency romance and a comedy serial – with happily ever afters on the far horizon. Like a sitcom, each "episode" is meant to be a fun short read, but with ongoing characters and storylines.
Episodes are released weekly to my readers during the "season" - this volume is the collected season.
