From Mary Burchell and some were on offer at Amazon
Somewhat in "A Song Begins" (Warrender Saga 1), but others are more complex.
I read the first and thought and said to the Lady, "How can you make an HEA into a series?"
Well, you can. But I won't explain. After the 2nd one I quickly bought 20 more!
"On the Air" (obviously set in 1950s BBC, and it was still a bit like that in 1970s when I worked there, very realistic). Burchell Romance [5]
Nightingales (Warrender Saga 11)
On Wings of Song (Warrender Saga 13)
She also has characters from a book do cameos in other books
"Under the Stars of Paris" (Florian 1)
"Paris - and My Love" (Florian 2) is a sequel but a different set of characters in same setting (maybe 10 years later?) having a romance.
"On the Air" is obviously between Florian 1 & 2 and unconnected, except the dress designer is interviews on the "National TV Station" (BBC is never mentioned).
Make sure you are charged, fed and will have no interruptions.
A few have somewhat unlikely plots. "When Love is Blind", OTOH I might have read a Regency setting (either Joan Aiken or Georgette Heyer) with a similar idea, and plenty books from both of those and Mary Stewart are a bit mad. Some of Aiken's Regency novels are as dark as some of her darker Crime novels. She certainly didn't just write for young people. (Wolves/JamesIII and others). Not many people know she was nearly as expert on Regency as Heyer expert on Jane Austin.
There are of course plenty of combined actual detective/mystery & romance set in Regency to 1930s and some are contemporary, or nearly so to the period (Wilkie Collins).
