Janna MacGregor (Minerva Spencer) Books in Order

This section focuses on the overlap between Janna MacGregor and Minerva Spencer, especially their shared work around Bond Street bachelors and the world of Regency London commerce.

At the center is Bachelors of Bond Street, an anthology that brings together novellas by Shana Galen, Janna MacGregor, and Minerva Spencer. All three stories revolve around self-made men who have staked their futures on fashionable businesses along one of London’s most famous streets. Coffee shops, bookshops, and discreet offices become just as important as ballrooms and country estates.

MacGregor’s contribution plays with her favorite themes of mistaken expectations and slow-building trust. A bluestocking heroine who is more comfortable with books than flirtation finds herself caught up in a tangle of misdelivered letters and mixed signals. The Bond Street setting lets her explore how a love of stories can turn into a very real romance when the right bookseller is involved.

Spencer’s novella, A Second Chance for Love, matches an embittered groom-turned-magnate with the woman he blames for destroying his life. Years after a disastrous parting, Justin Taylor is rich, guarded, and bent on revenge. Oona Parker is older, wiser, and desperate enough to accept a scandalous bargain that forces them into close quarters. The emotional heart of the story lies in watching two people unpack what really happened between them and decide whether they are willing to risk being hurt again.

Taken together, the anthology shows how both authors handle similar ingredients in distinct ways. Each bachelor is competent and confident in business, yet awkward when it comes to naming what he feels. Each heroine pushes back against the roles assigned to her, whether that means traveling alone, taking a job, or daring to negotiate terms that suit her.

This page is designed to help readers who follow either author trace those connections. You can see where the Bond Street novellas sit in relation to MacGregor’s Cavensham and Widow books, and where Spencer’s story fits alongside The Academy of Love and her other series. It is a useful starting point if you enjoy crossovers, shared settings, and the sense that neighboring romance worlds occasionally brush shoulders.
