In the era where swords rule, where women consider their modesty their greatest virtue. Where a man would kill to find his wife warming another mans bed, a time when women would consider it the greatest of adultery or fornication to warm a bed other than her husbands. A time when an honorable man guards his gaze, for his gaze is solely for his wife alone, as well as his heart. He's feared, ruthless, cold, heartless, manipulative, cunning, a rake. Or so they assume... She's beautiful yet silent, not by a defect, she simply dislikes to mingle with gossip.Yet she has emotional scars that no one sees behind her smile, but a few. Cover by @forcade

{WATTY'S 2020 WINNER & EDITOR'S PICK.} Hopeless romantic and aspiring writer Mare Atwood has fallen madly in love with her childhood correspondent. There's only one catch-she doesn't know who he is. When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction

I think it's best we talk in private." ~ Age Of Ultron/Guardians of the Galaxy/Civil War ~ First Book: Tony Stark's Daughter Third Book: Iron Witch

Emotions, as everyone knows are hard enough already. But when you add the ability to feel other peoples emotions, well that just makes things a little bit harder. That's why Elizabeth Grace's life was just a tad bit overwhelming. Bucky Barnes on the other hand didn't feel much anymore. And on the rare occurrences that he did, they weren't exactly great emotions. Which is why, the two were a perfect match. *Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Avengers Endgame Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Completed Avengers: Age of Ultron - Completed Captain America: Civil War - Completed Avengers: Infinity Way - Completed Avengers: Endgame - Completed (The lovely cover is by @vintagewanda)
