What I find the most hurtful and the hardest, is liking someone to only have them fall in love with my younger and prettier sister. Or have guys who would befriend me and pretend to be nice to me just so they can get close to her. It truly hurts knowing I'm being used for someone else's goals. However, I would never blame her for any of this, for it's not her fault that the guys I liked loved her instead. I just come to realize that not everyone is meant to fall in love and I might be one of those people. Because I am starting to wonder if there's really a guy out there who is willing to look past my weight and insecurities, and not fall in love with my baby sister at the same time. _______________________ Erin has always been the ugly sister and the black sheep of the family. She grew up in a world of perfection, and yet she was far from perfect. If she was perfect and flawless as her sister, then all the guys she ever had feelings for would have chosen her instead. So Erin has learned that sometimes love isn't meant for everyone. Because of that, she decided to dedicate her time and life to her students and being single. But everything changes when she meets Caden. Caden is every girl's wet dream. He's tall, rich, and sexy as hell. Which also means he's way out of her league. Erin knows that she will never match someone as perfect as him, but her sister certainly will. Playing cupid Erin hopes to hook Caden up with her sister. But what happens when Caden has his eyes set on only one person, Erin. *****FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY******** Important: Thanks to all my readers and supporters Love Me Curvy with three additional chapters is officially published as an eBook on Amazon!

Hope Hillburn was born to a life of servitude and never once questioned her role in society. As a lady's maid to Noelle Parrish, she had everything she wanted out of life; a secure and honorable post, a decent room to call her own, and ample time to write fantastical tales of winsome creatures while her mistress, Lady Noelle, attended the various society events offered by the ton. Lady Noelle Parrish knew that her father was anxious to see her wed but she never imagined he'd go behind her back and arrange for her to marry against her will, to a duke with a questionable reputation no less. Disheartened by the prospect of marrying a man she's never met and the possibility of foregoing a lifetime of love, Noelle makes the impulsive decision to flee England with an American gentleman she's only just met. There's only one problem... Lady Noelle's father, the Earl of Brattondale, would never permit her to marry an untitled American, nor was he willing to go back on his word to the duke. In her desperation, Lady Noelle convinces Hope to take her place after noticing an uncanny resemblance between them both. Against her own better judgment, Hope agrees to take Noelle's place when she realizes there's no other way for Noelle to flee to America without causing her family disgrace. Thrown into a life she has only ever viewed from the outside, Hope must convince everyone that she is a lady lest her farce be discovered. She is confident that she can handle society's strict rules of propriety but she soon learns that guarding her heart from falling in love with an incredibly handsome, self assured duke with a penchant for snarling isn't going to be quite as easy.
