Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly George Knightley, her neighbour from the adjacent estate of Donwell, and the brother of her elder sister Isabella's husband, John. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her best friend and former governess. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband, Mr. Weston, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.

A Stolen Kiss And A Love Charade (July 2015) by Yaney Matsumoto "Hindi mo kailangang magbago para sa sa 'kin, Curtis. Na-realize ko na hindi ko naman kailangan ng perfect boyfriend. Na walang standard, standard pagdating sa pag-ibig. Ang mas importante ay 'yong sigurado akong mahal ako at mahal ko rin." Hindi inasahan ni Katrina na tutulungan siya ni Curtis-member ng famous rock band, ubod ng guwapo, talented, at sobrang sikat-upang itaboy ang isang makulit na manliligaw. Nagpanggap itong boyfriend niya, ngunit may hinihingi itong kapalit. And then they were both involved in a kissing scandal. Ipinagkalat pa ni Curtis na girlfriend siya nito. Nagalit tuloy sa kanya ang legion of fans nito. And worst, they were calling her names! She was mad, of course, dahil wala naman iyong katotohanan. Ngunit nakiusap si Curtis na magpanggap siya bilang girlfriend nito. Maging ito pala ay may iniiwasang makulit na admirer. Kaya pumayag na rin siya. Oh, well, nagbabayad lang naman siya ng utang-na-loob. Iyon lang at wala nang ibang dahilan. Ngunit bakit gano'n na lang ang epekto ng mga ngiti, titig, at pasimpleng halik sa kanya ni Curtis? Bakit parang kinikilig siya? Posible kayang nahuhulog na ang loob niya sa lalaking mula pagkabata ay kinaiinisan na niya? PS: This is the raw and unedited version so pardon the typos and grammatical errors you may come across with. This story is connected to my first PHR novel Tatta Hitotsu No Koi (Shinji and Erika's story). So you gotta read that first if you want to be familiarized with the characters. Thank you for reading! ~Yaney
