The Captain and The Country Cousin — Mary Kingswood

The dashing soldier, the earl's niece and the secret admirer…

Lucinda Willerton-Forbes is quite content to be the useful unmarried niece, so busy organising everyone else that she gives no thought to herself. As for marriage, she isn't much bothered because she hasn't yet met a man who won't bore her to death within a month.

But during a big family celebration, someone manages to enter her locked room every night to leave anonymous love tokens on her pillow. That's not boring at all, but whoever can it be?

Captain Michael Edgerton isn't looking for a wife, and Lucinda is above his touch anyway, no matter how beautiful and desirable she is. Besides, she has other, more serious suitors, far more worthy of her.

But the more he gets to know her, the more he is drawn into her life and can't bear to see her throw herself away on someone who only wants to take advantage of her. Protecting damsels in distress will get him into trouble one day.

This is a complete story with a happy ever after. A stand-alone traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.
