I have my own list of pet-peeves in Austenesque or Hist Romances. The use of woman/women instead of “ladies” is one ; the period-inaccurate use of “bully” is another !
Bully had different meanings in the late 18th to mid 19th Century; it went from loud/quarrelsome, brash or violent, to even used as a synonym for “pimp” (!). To bully as a verb for intimidation, or a playground bully are modern additions.

This is a re-release. I don't know what is going on, but the rights of many stories that were originally published by Meryton Press are either reverting back to the author or being republished by Q&Q. I hope Meryton Press is not going out of business, but I wonder. This was originally published by Meryton Press, and it has a new cover and an audiobook in the works.

Oooh ! I see ; than you for the details about the two different publishers, I was lost about it maybe being a new edit or a compound release with extra scenes. It seems I was imagining too much on that front :)
