SEW IT SHALL BE

---

Several lives are threaded together in Sew It Shall Be, a historical romance set in 1816 London with an alternative history twist: the arts are just as competitive as traditional sports.

Phoebe Lewis is an anxiety-ridden single mother living in the basement of her best friend’s dress shop. How her daughter Bridget came to be? A well-kept secret from the high society she once belonged to. All the wealthy of the ton know is that she was disowned from her prominent textile merchant family. Thankfully, she has Margaret just upstairs, and together, the two work as dressmakers. However, both women are looking for a patron— a wealthy noble or socialite willing to pay them for their work, assist in developing their talents, and bring them into the upper echelons.

Ulric Beaument wasn’t supposed to become the Duke of Brispool, but after his older brother’s passing two years prior, he is forced to go from leisurely recluse to perfect noble. His father is breathing down his neck. He still isn’t married at 29 years old. He hasn’t picked an artist yet. Worst of all, his aloof and reserved persona prevents real relationships. As a result, his reputation is dangling by a threat, and he is desperate to prove himself just as capable of his war hero brother. It’s hard to do that when every artist and noble is just so desperate and annoying.

At the 1816 Spring Formal Runway, these two desperate souls find each other by total accident. What they don’t know is that their business partnership is soon woven into a partnership of another kind. That is, it will if Phoebe can impress Ulric in just one year.
