Miss Victoria Sutton is considered a failure after several seasons without a match.  Blending into the background suits her well as long as she can read.  A less than clandestine adventure into the Duke's library creates a friendship she could never have imagined.

Andres, Duke of Northumberland, wasn't expecting to find a stowaway in his library during the opening ball of the season but she intrigued him none the less.  The more time he spends with her, the more he looks forward to seeing her.  Perhaps it's time to take a wife after all.

Does a wallflower with no means deserve a happily ever after?

Dear, Miss Violet. ✔ by siddhi0

[Book 1 of Greenhill-Sinclair Series] Set in 1818, in London, during the regency era. Violet Greenhill, has always been the most admired woman in London. She is called breathtakingly beautiful, and is known for her wit and quick ways. She keeps getting a lot of attention and marriage proposals, but one sudden day, she gets a letter from an unknown person, and when those letters become regular, Violet cannot help but fall in love. Simon Siddell, Earl of Watford, had turned into a quiet man, who never indulged in conversations, and wasn't loved much by London due to his 'dark personality'. But, he was a silent spectator, or more of a silent lover, who watched Miss Violet from afar, dancing and chatting lovingly with others. He loved her deeply, but feared to talk to her because of his one daunting secret that had haunted him for years. But, when his desperation grew uncontrollable, he started sending her letters as anonymous to fulfill his one desire, that he'd kept close to his soul for years.

"Encouragement" (Book 1), by Gratiana Lovelace, 2016 (Completed) by GratianaLovelace

Lady Madeline Lucretia Sinclair's very proper maternal grandmother Lady Lucretia Beckham Knott advises her that all a gentleman needs from a lady to offer for her is a little encouragement from that lady. But then again, it is encouragement that a lady must refrain from lest an unsuitable or undesirable gentleman press his suit upon her. But therein lies the crux of Lady Madeline's dilemma. How does a lady become sufficiently acquainted with a gentleman in order to discern if she wants to encourage him--without first seeking him out for conversation or dancing, and without seeming to encourage him before her mind is made up? And when her heart has chosen, but his has not, how does she help him find his heart's desire? These will be the riddles that Lady Madeline must find the answers to for her happily ever after.
