Through the whimsical character of Princess Idleways, Hays explores themes of self-discovery, existential longing, and societal expectations.

Her rich background in literature and culture informs her work, resulting in narratives that resonate with both charm and depth. Ideal for readers seeking a thought-provoking journey through a fairy-tale lens, "The Princess Idleways" invites contemplation on the nature of dreams and desires.

    The page-turning Regency romance from the author of Kingscastle
    
    First published as Bless Thine Inheritance by Sophia Holloway.
    Celia Mardham's first London Season should have been a great success, but a near fatal riding accident has left her with a pronounced limp which means she cannot even curtsy, let alone dance.
    Condemned it seems to spinsterhood, her mother Lady Mardham makes one last effort. She draws up a list of guests for a country house party, picking only young ladies who will not be rivals, as well as some potential suitors.
    Among the gentlemen is Lord Levedale and when he meets Celia he sees her, not the limp. However, a number of accidents, misunderstandings and spiteful interventions litter the path ahead, and may succeed in driving them apart for good.
