Nineteenthcentury Stories

When Emma Lucas meets devilishly handsome Markus Winterly, she has no idea that he only wears the mask of human aristocracy. And behind that mask a very ancient and powerful being has begun to take an interest in her; has noticed what even she does not suspect about herself. When her sister's life is threatened, Emma has only one choice: sacrifice herself instead and give in to the deepest and darkest desires that have begun to quicken in her heart. Amidst the sumptuous backdrop of midnight vampire balls, dark moors, and an ancient castle, Emma will discover the strength and light she never knew she possessed and uncover the many layers of the man-the very creature-she has come to love. A love that defies death and time, taming even the devil himself. And to survive, Emma must surender everything. Even her humanity.

Young Rosella was abandoned by her father when she was just an infant. After three years in an orphanage, Rosella spent the next thirteen years of her life in a harsh all-girls boarding school. When she learns of her father's whereabouts, Rosella escapes in order to find and confront him. On her travels, Rosella soon finds that the world is a terrible and cruel place, run by monstrous men. This tale seems like two tales told in one, for as well we follow the story of a middle-aged man named Thomas Herring, who leads a lonely life. Spending his days in solitude in his large manor in the city of Burberry, Thomas grows tired of being alone and goes out to search for love. As we read on, we soon learn that these two tales, are really just one.

The wind does not say the truth, the land does not have anymore rusted lies, the dark does not have shadow, but the light have one. This story has 90's × 20's vibes.

George makes the unpleasant discovery that his wife Caroline has returned. Caroline refuses to leave. George refuses to let her stay. Who will win?

Sam Paine knew exactly two things: That Mrs. Oliver was in the family way, and that the bump on his head was there to remind him never to congratulate expectant mothers again.

In which a somewhat rebellious maiden of eighteen years forms a friendship with a bachelor twenty years her senior. A charming man who makes her consider that maybe the customs of betrothals and marriage aren't too bad after all.

The summer of 1828 - the season that altered two young lives beyond recognition. It was the summer they fell in love, and loved so deeply that the world beyond them ceased to exist. Yet summer is fleeting. And when it slipped away, so did their days side by side. Separated by circumstance and silenced by distance, they were left with nothing but ink and paper to carry their hearts and pain across the miles. All that remained of their love were letters. But by the time they were finally read, it was too late.
