Die Maske der Lady (The Mallorens-Reihe, 1)

The societal expectations felt vivid and authentic, but I'm curious if that was inspired by personal research or creative choice. How much of the social scene was based on history versus imagination?

Their banter and growing attraction seemed effortless, but I wonder if the author planned this slow burn from the start or let it evolve during writing. It made the romance feel real.

The period’s details felt immersive, from fashion to social customs. I'm curious whether real historical events or personal interest led to choosing this era for the story.
