Historical Romance
Welcome to the World of Koz!
You might be wondering—what exactly is the World of Koz? It’s the universe where all my books take place. No matter which book or series you pick up, you’ll find characters weaving in and out of different stories, creating a rich, interconnected world. You can start anywhere, in any order, and immerse yourself in a world where side characters you love might just star in the next book you read.
Right now, I have two series available: The Jennings Family and Lords of Second Chances.
The Jennings Family series follows the love stories of the three Jennings siblings, each navigating the trials of Regency society and discovering once-in-a-lifetime love in the most unexpected places: a forced marriage that begins in scandal but ends in love, a forbidden romance that defies all odds, and an Earl and a defiant valet who clash at every turn before discovering a love neither expected.
The Lords of Second Chances series follows three best friends from their days at Harrow, now united by their mission to run a foundling home for orphans and give them a second chance at life. But the home’s residents aren’t the only ones in need of a new beginning. An arranged marriage opens the eyes of an overbearing marquess, a bluestocking reforms London’s most notorious rake, and a scarred duke is brought to his knees by the last person he’d ever expect.
Suggested Reading Order
Now, while these books can be read in any order, here’s what I’d consider the optimal reading order for the best experience.
Compromised for Christmas: The Jennings Family Book One
Daring with a Duke: The Jennings Family Book Two
To My Scot, With Love: A Jennings Family Prequel Novella
Enemies with an Earl: The Jennings Family Book Three
Madcap with a Marquess: Lords of Second Chances Book One
Ruthless with a Rogue: Lords of Second Chances Book Two
A Note To My Readers
Where history meets heightened drama, emotions run deep, and sometimes…things get a little ridiculous (especially at the Chesterfield Ball).
Here’s what to expect: I’ve been called “a fresh take” with “an entertainingly modern voice in a historical world.” While I dive into history to create a rich backdrop (you’ll find some research at the end), if you’re expecting Jane Austen’s prose, you won’t find it here. But if you love historical romance with a modern flair, you’re in the right place.
Historical romance is a space for all kinds of stories that allow us to explore characters, emotions, and moments that resonate with us. It will always be a fantasy of sorts. After all, we can accept the endless supply of sexy dukes, rakes who never get syphilis, or the person who is 10th in line inheriting when everyone before them suddenly dies.
Just like contemporary romance, where characters get kidnapped by a mafia boss and end up his wife, or fall for their assassin (I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been there), fiction allows us to stretch reality. It’s about the what if. And that’s where the fun is.
In my world, love triumphs no matter the character—my stories champion feminism, sexual empowerment, LGBTQ+ positivity, neurodivergence, and mental health awareness. Love has always found a way, and in my stories, those barriers are always broken.
If my style sounds like something you’d enjoy, I invite you to step into this fantasy world with me and indulge in a little escape. Grab your wine (or drink of choice) and let’s have some fun!
Happy reading!
Lizzie
