Author: M.A. Nichols

M.A. Nichols writes Regency and Victorian romance centered on courtship, friendship, family expectations, and the practical consequences of marriage. Tempest and Sunshine follows Marian Wakefield and George Finch after a badly handled declaration separates two longtime friends. Marian faces pressure from her father to marry, while George comes to recognize what his earlier choice cost them both. Their second chance develops through questions of trust and compatibility rather than an instant return to the past. The novel belongs to Nichols's catalogue of clean historical romances, which includes the Regency Love and Romance series, The Gentry of Shropshire, and Victorian Love and Romance. Nichols describes herself as an Alaskan author and studied at Brigham Young University and Utah State University before building her publishing career. Tempest and Sunshine uses the social limits surrounding unmarried women and unsuitable matches to frame a character-driven story about candor, regret, and whether an old friendship can support a different future.
