{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

An alternate imagining of Mrs. Gaskell's story, assuming Margaret had been hurt more seriously on the day of the riot. Intertwines elements of both the book and the BBC series, but focuses less on angst and more on the relationship of John Thornton and Margaret Hale.

Sanditon season 1 ended horribly. With no guarantee of a second season, I have to give Charlotte and Sidney a happy ending. Hopefully we get a second season, but for now this is my interpretation of season 2. There will be an HEA but it's going to take some time to get there. Charlotte and Alison are invited back to Sanditon to be Lady Denham's companions. When they arrive, Lady Denham quickly puts Charlotte in charge of the rebuild in Sanditon. What Charlotte wasn't expecting was Sidney Parker to show up at every turn. Between Lady Denham, Lady Susan, Georgiana, Mr. Crowe, Lord Babington, and a feisty little sister all working together, they will find their way back to each other. ~~Story also posted on fanfiction.net and AO3~~ New AU/Modern Sanditon Fanfic stories posted on AO3 under earthprincess4

A romantic and smutty one-shot in modern setting, with lots of summer vibes I hope. It was inspired by two things; Craig David's song Summer Jam and this Tumblr post (credit hhhhhtwink Tumblr) 'WHY have I never been romantically, yet filthily, fucked in a pillow fort????' Sidney and Charlotte meet on a hot summer night. I don't think it needs more description than so. The story is dedicated to a few lovely ladies who know who they are and it is titled what I anyway am sure they will call it. If you don't like smut this is your chance to turn around, otherwise I hope you enjoy!
