Catherine Tinley

Catherine Tinley is a Northern Irish author of historical romance whose novels often use Regency society, family obligations, and hard-won trust as their framework. The Captain’s Disgraced Lady was published by Harlequin Historical in 2017 and belongs to her Chadcombe Marriages sequence. Its story pairs Juliana Milford with Captain Harry Fanton after a meeting in Brussels, then follows the social and personal consequences that complicate their attraction. The Waterloo-era setting gives the romance a military and aristocratic background without displacing its central relationship. The fuller edition title, The Captain’s Disgraced Lady: A Regency Romance, makes the genre positioning explicit. Tinley has written other connected historical romances and previously served as an army officer before working in finance and the public sector. The Captain’s Disgraced Lady is consequently best understood as a 2017 Harlequin Historical novel within the Chadcombe Marriages continuity, not as an isolated contemporary romance.
