Duchess Stories

When the arrogant stranger Bess is forced to marry unexpectedly becomes a duke, she'll find herself at odds with her growing feelings as he hunts for a killer. ***** Sharp-tongued Elizabeth 'Bess' Jones is perfectly content living on her lonesome in a tiny village south of Derbyshire. She works as a nurse, owns a small home, and finds the label of 'spinster' an agreeable trade for her independence. But when her entire life is uprooted in an instant, she only has one person to blame: her new husband, Emmett Wilde, who was caught in a compromising situation with her. And now, despite his promise to fake a death certificate after their wedding--to free her of any duty to him or their marriage bed--he sends for her in the dead of night with startling news: his father has been murdered, and he is now the Duke of Ascot with a wife he can no longer deny...

SYNOPSIS Claire is a struggling Computer Science student. Now that she is in her final year in the university, she has to keep up with her thesis and her multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet. Having her burdensome groupmates does not help either, thus, she is always left doing the thesis alone in her cramped apartment. But one day, she wakes up in an unfamiliar room; a spacious and grand room to be exact. As the double doors open, a man rushes to her while mumbling "My child!" repeatedly... which adds to her confusion because as far as she remembers, her father is long gone.

The girl's eyes glittered with malice as she leaned in close. "I have a proposition for you," she whispered, her voice dripping with ill intent. "Let's end the wretched life of Princess Aster Winter d'Algernon."

Getting transmigrated into a novel seems nice and fun until you consider the story you're dropped into. What if you're transmigrated into the body of a villainess who can't really do much of anything? Villainess Katerina has to find a way to avoid her pathetic ending of tripping and falling into the weapon of a guard. Can she do it? Author's Note: This story is pretty much completely unedited. The uploads will be sporadic, but I'll try my best to commit to uploads every other week. My main priority is my other story (The Marquis' Daughter's Second Chance), so if you want something that has more frequent uploads, it'll be over there. That being said, if you catch a mistake, please let me know and I'll correct it as soon as I can. This story is mainly going to be an exercise for me as a lot of it will just be brain vomit. I'm just along for the ride. With that, happy reading, everyone :)

Its a little early, but its come to my attention I may not be able to be with you on your birthday my dear. Happy birthday, Shizuko dear. Cover photo by Alexander Knowls You'll find his work here: https://www.deviantart.com/alecknowls
