She loved him with everything she had-her time, her heart, her dignity. But the male lead never loved her back. In the end, she lost her family, her future, and her life... all because of that love. But fate gave her a second chance. Now back in her second year of college, she's done chasing love. No more following him around campus. No more gifts, no more tears. This time, she chooses herself. When classmates mock her for no longer loving the male lead, she doesn't hide-she stands on stage at a college event and apologizes for everything: her past behavior, her mistakes, and the chaos she caused. The next day, her apology video spreads across campus-and the girl once known as the foolish villainess starts to rewrite her story. She's not here to win hearts anymore. She's here to become someone worth being proud of. Let me know if you want a dramatic one-liner tagline too, like: "She chased love once. This time, she'll chase her future." or "From villainess to healer-her story has just begun."

Forced into marriage by duty and obligation, The Duke and Duchess of Rothbury parted ways a week after saying their vows under the explicit understanding that theirs was a marriage in name only. There would be no expectations of love, fidelity, or romance. The Duke hates the American Heiress who married him only for his title, completely unaffected by the senseless tragedy that had made their marriage necessary in the first place. When an illness forces him to retire to the country, he makes sure to choose the property where his wife wouldn't be. Except that she is, and she is still as insufferable as ever. The Duchess resents the man who killed her youthful dreams of love and abandoned her to live his bachelor life unencumbered. When she is jilted by her lover, and faced with inevitable ridicule, she decides to retire to her beloved estate in Cornwall, where she runs an orphanage. Never once does she expect to run into her cold, selfish, insufferable arse of a husband! Forced into each other's company by circumstance, the couple begin to unravel their individual prejudices. Resentment turns into respect and friendship. Respect and friendship soon turn into attraction and affection. Was love closer than either one of them could ever have imagined? And that begged the question; can the Duke win his wife's favor, or is it far too late to make their marriage a love match? Cover by MuniWilliams.

John Osborne has a promising career with the War Office and lacks for nothing. Except, possibly, a wife. Unfortunately, the woman he wants only has eyes for someone else. When a shared friend offers to help him win his love's heart--if only he will assist her on a case--he reluctantly agrees. He can put up with their grating presence if it affords him the chance of the happily ever after he so desperately craves. Lady Mary Kinson is happily counting down the days until she will officially be considered 'on the shelf'. Spinsterhood is looking rather appealing when getting married means giving up everything and trusting your husband to care for you. She'd rather use her dowry for a quiet life on her own. Until her younger sister does the unthinkable and Mary has to enlist the help of a friend to save her family from ruin.
