Ballrooms Stories

After reading many a Jane Austen novel, Elise Galvin wishes for nothing more than to live in the 19th century. With only her abusive mother for company, Elise would gladly leave everything for a chance at a new life. So when a strange man claiming to possess the power to bend time offers her one wish, how can she resist? Follow Elise as she journeys back 200 years, where she struggles to find a place in society, faces the newfound hardships of being female in such an era, but also as she forms friendships she thought she'd never have, and finds a romance worthy of Austen's novels themselves.

ball gowns, soirées, boys and....cricket Set in late 19th century, this story is about Theresa, a strong spirited girl from a small town in New York State whose life takes a huge turn as she moves to England for her higher studies.

The first real story on here! I may or may not post more chapters, because if I do finish this I want people to buy the actual book, besides, I haven't written any more than just the prologue so I'll start with only posting that.

The Edwardian, captained by its unshakeable namesake, had embarked on many an adventure, and its name had gained fame enough to ring with some familiarity even as far as the small hamlet of Atherdee. Unbeknownst to the eclectic crew, the key to bridging the gap between recognizable and legendary status spent her nights tending to the town's humble inn. Coaxed from comfort by a simple pocket watch and bolstered by the courage of her brother at her side, Eabha finds herself gravitating towards the mystical call of the great ship, fortuitously joining the rambunctious brotherhood on board. In so doing, she discovers that the stories of bravery, magic, family, and love not only exist in tales of the world beyond, but, in fact, were now embodied by those around her and, ultimately, within her. When the ruthless forces of darkness face the unrelenting strength of The Edwardian battalion and their new, unassuming hero, every skill will be tested and terrible sacrifices will be made in the desperate hope that what they have built together will prove powerful enough to overcome the looming shadows threatening their survival and the freedom of their beloved country.

For the last wish to be fulfilled though, she needed to meet the prince. The 'how' was still sketchy... until the prince himself came to her. Prince Richard only wanted to use the red-haired little Miss to win over his love, that was all.

She retorted in frustration. "Alright, if you wish for me to stay unmarried, I'll become an old maid and commit to a nunnery. Will that be enough to make you leave me in peace and marry Juliet?"

Her startled cry came when she realised her face was pressed against a wall that held his musky scent and she couldn't free herself from the clasp at her nape try as she did. Then suddenly, she could breathe freely again. She stared in bewilderment at the handsome face hovering close to hers. Before she could discern his intention, she felt his lips on hers. The kiss wasn't like the first one they shared. She felt his power and authority and his ruthlessness in the way he possessed her. She grew frightened, even so, her body began to melt under his touch. Down in the pit of her stomach, she had the unsettling feeling he was teaching her a lesson. He stopped kissing her and nudged her chin up. "No nunnery will open its doors for you if you're not a virgin. I'll take the option of being a nun from you which will leave you with only one choice; marry me. Your father will have it no other way if I tell him about what we're about
