An Emperor who cannot trust. A woman who cannot stop loving him. A Nation built upon lies. Forced into becoming Emperor Tesarius's concubine to secure peace between two Nations, Princess Aurora enters Lanterbur believing the man she once loved will one day remember her. Instead, she is met with nothing but hatred, cruelty, and a palace determined to see her broken. When the Emperor abandons her in her darkest hour, Aurora buries the woman who loved him and rises as a knight sworn to protect herself, and every helpless woman within the palace. But as rebellion spreads and conspiracies tighten around the throne, the distance between Aurora and Tesarius begins to close, forcing them to confront the feelings they both thought had long since died. Yet in a court where every whisper is a lie and every act of love is met with suspicion, trusting each other may prove more dangerous than facing the enemy itself. Because sometimes the greatest tragedy is not losing the one you love... It's realizing you were the one who destroyed them.

When Evelyn Ambrose endures the heartbreaking infant mortality of her first-born child, she decides to become a wet nurse in the hopes of helping another vulnerable family since the need for available lactating women has gone from considerable to desperate. Evelyn then becomes employed by the affluent and beautiful socialite Lady Florence Wright - who has birthed her first high-born son to inherit the legacy. Lady Wright has become distraught that breastfeeding her child might be rather time-consuming, unfashionable, and detrimental to her womanly figure - or worse - the image of her high-class and overall social standing. However, tension ensues between the two women from different worlds. When Lady Wright's child grows more maternally attached to Evelyn - as does her husband, Lord Wright, who discovers a growing attraction to the nurturing and maternal figure - Lady Wright schemes against the woman who she allowed to ruin her reputation and steal her family.

Bernard stumbles upon an old house and a warm welcome, yet not is all that it seems. With ghosts and music in old Louisiana, this short story touches on grief and the process of moving forward in an unknown world and how love can mean more than a romantic gesture.

The only daughter (and youngest child) of Lord and Lady Whittaker, twenty year old Gloriana reveled in her third season amongst high society London. With a marriage proposal all but verbally uttered, and very much anticipated by the ton, she had never been happier. But, sometimes, things are just too good to be true, and a vicious kick back to reality was in the cards for Miss Gloriana. Heart broken and bitter, she returns to her mother's side at their country estate, where her life takes a few rather unexpected turns. ~A regency era romance~ •Jane Austen/Charlotte Bronte inspired story• Edge= to excite, stimulate, or provoke If you're like me, you loved 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Sense and Sensibility', and 'Jane Eyre'. It's so easy to get lost in time while reading about life in the age where men were (mostly) gentleman, where lavish balls were frequent, and when there was a season in London where the gentry and well mannered people got together to gossip and form relationships. Also, if you're like me, all of those super inaccurate, pseudo regency period romance stories probably make you want to weep all over your Mr.Darcy body pillow. And that's not to say I don't read them, I still do, cause I'll take what I can get. I'm also not insinuating there aren't great, truly well written regency period stories on here either. I feel grateful to have found a few so far, and I really appreciate the authors who wrote them. But I couldn't help but try my hand at writing something I'd really enjoy reading. Something a bit more accurate than most. Still a little overdone, still has everything you want in a good regency era love story, but it shouldn't turn you into a Bertha Mason out of frustration. Any comments are appreciated! ♡JordynBH

Henrietta Godolphin has a secret powerful enough to rewrite history-and destroy her future. Born into the opulence and rigid expectations of the 1700s, Henrietta is the wife of Francis, the Second Earl of Godolphin, and a woman under immense pressure to do one thing: produce an heir. But behind her composed aristocratic exterior lies an extraordinary truth-Henrietta can move between centuries, slipping from candlelit ballrooms into the pulse of the modern world with ease. In the present day, she wields wealth, technology, and cutting-edge medicine in ways her own time could never imagine. Desperate to secure her legacy, she begins a dangerous and deeply secretive mission: selecting a man from the modern world to determine if he could father the child her husband likely cannot. That man is Tristan. What begins as a calculated, clinical arrangement quickly unravels into something far more complicated. Tristan is everything her world is not-honest, grounded, and disarmingly real. Against all reason, Henrietta finds herself falling for him, torn between duty and desire, history and possibility. In a bold gamble to have both, she brings Mark back to the 1700s, granting him status and power alongside her husband. But the past is not easily tamed. Mark struggles to survive in a world bound by rules he doesn't understand, while Henrietta's carefully constructed life begins to fracture under the weight of her choices. Now, with time itself no longer on her side, Henrietta must decide: remain loyal to the life she was born into, or risk everything for a love that was never meant to exist. Because some choices don't just change the future-they shatter it.
