A Midsummer Day's Scheme
by Rebecca Connolly
2023
A clean historical romance where a carefully laid plan is the only way to protect what matters. A scheme meant to solve one problem creates another when attraction and trust get involved. In the middle of summer celebrations, one choice can reshape a reputation, and a future.
Series background & context
Saddles & Scoundrels is a clean historical romance collection that leans into country life, horses, and the kind of trouble that can happen when reputations are fragile. The “saddles” part hints at riding, travel, and rural estates. The “scoundrels” part promises a little mischief, whether that comes from a charming rogue, a stubborn heroine, or a plan that goes sideways.
These stories often sit at the intersection of respectability and risk. A character may be trying to protect a family name, fix a mistake, or keep a secret from spreading. Add a romantic interest who refuses to be ignored, and the emotional stakes rise quickly.
Rebecca Connolly’s entry, A Midsummer Day's Scheme, captures the tone: a light, romantic setup with a central plan, a little tension, and plenty of room for a slow shift from irritation to trust.
Expect countryside settings with a dash of chaos.
The romances are closed-door and character-driven. You can look forward to banter, forced proximity, and that classic historical-romance question of whether two people can choose each other without losing everything else. When there is suspense, it tends to be social and situational rather than violent.
Collections like this are usually designed so each book can be read on its own. Reading in order still has perks, especially if you enjoy spotting recurring names or shared settings.
On this page, you will find Saddles & Scoundrels listed in order with short summaries and series background. If you want a clean historical romance that feels a bit more playful than formal, this is a good series to try.
