Supposed Scandal (Kasey Stockton) Books in Order

Supposed Scandal is a multi-author Regency series that circles around one of the genre's most reliable pressures: reputation.

In this kind of world, even a misunderstanding can harden into a story that follows a person for years. That makes the series a natural home for books about second chances, private regret, and people trying to survive the consequences of what society thinks happened.

Stockton's entry is A Most Faithful Companion, and it fits beautifully. Emma Darling is living quietly and carefully as a companion because safety is hard-won and easily lost. Captain Owen Buckley returns after years away, carrying the memory of what once stood between them. Their renewed closeness is not just emotionally risky. It invites talk, and talk can cost Emma the little stability she has left.

The result is a slower, more tender kind of Regency romance. There is longing here, but also caution. Characters do not merely want each other. They have to decide whether wanting each other is worth what it may unsettle.

If you like historical romances where rumor is a real force and emotional history matters as much as present attraction, this series should be squarely in your wheelhouse.
