Evangeline Burnes is a respectable middle class Victorian lady - a loyal wife to her merchant husband and devoted mother of three children. A charismatic society hostess and tireless champion for the abolition of England's child labour force.

Or is she???? Our heroine's impeccable reputation is little more than a decoy floating on society's calm waters.  What lies beneath is a troubled soul paralysed with insecurity and self loathing. 

But with a new life awaiting the family in a grand Oxfordshire estate, Evangeline will soon be able to leave her indiscretions behind and start afresh. Or will she???

Crowns & Chaos by Bookworm_life1477

Evangeline is an average 22-year-old. After her mysterious grandmother dies, leaving her and her parents a sizable fortune, she thinks that's the end of it. That is until she discovers her grandmother was secretly part of the British nobility, meaning her father is the lost heir. Nothing is easy, and nothing is simple. Trying to navigate the social dynamics is one thing, but throw in a prince, a publicity stunt and an unexpected love story, and Evie's life will never be the same. *I am Canadian, not British, sorry for any inconsistencies or anything, also this is obviously fictional*

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐈𝐓 -- COMPLETE by importgoodusername

Evangeline Fray's life is a carefully curated act of perfection. A star student, a promising debater, and the daughter of a seemingly perfect family, she's always lived under the weight of expectations. But beneath the surface, the pressure is suffocating, and her only escape is the smoke of her cigarettes and the fleeting moments of rebellion she's stolen for herself. Then Declan Hunt enters her world-a brooding, unpredictable force with a painful past that mirrors her own struggles. When they're paired together for a history project, their rivalry sparks into an undeniable chemistry. As their relationship deepens, Evangeline is pulled into a world of wild nights, stolen moments, and the dark corners of Declan's troubled past, including the loss of his older brother, Sebastian, to addiction. But their connection comes at a price. Evangeline's addiction to nicotine worsens, and her life begins to unravel-her grades slip, her relationship with her best friend Austen fractures, and her family starts to notice the cracks. In a relationship that teeters between passion and destruction, Evangeline must decide how much she's willing to lose to finally break free from the chains of her own making. Will she find the strength to save herself before it's too late? *** 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲: Evangeline's story is one filtered through the lens of her pain and confusion. As you journey through her experiences, remember that she is not always a reliable narrator. Her perceptions may be clouded by her fears, addictions, and internal struggles. What you read may not always be the whole truth, but rather her version. 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆! This book addresses substance abuse, mental health struggles, family dysfunction, violence, sexual moments, emotional abuse, reckless behaviour, abandonment, self-harm.

Refuge In The Shadows by EmilyLuong

Raised as Hunters in a hidden counterinsurgency society in the late nineteenth century, nineteen year old Welsh twins Carys and Cadeyrn Llewelyn have led brutal, unforgiving lives filled with heartbreak and pain. As the only female Hunter, Carys has proven her place among the males, but not without a terrible price. And while Carys is as self-sacrificing as ever, it's up to Cadeyrn to make sure he's there to pick up the pieces. When a mysterious Hunter from London beckons the twins and their friends to the city to eliminate a target, self discoveries are made, relationships are tested, and wounds are reopened. _____ "Cadeyrn, everything we have been through, everything we have sacrificed has come down to this moment. Steamboats and trains make travel exponentially faster. Industry has become the crown jewel of the country. Stringent moral codes are disintegrating. Everything that we used to take for granted has been distorted. Amidst all of this revolution, I see women restlessly gazing out their windows. They want a share of this exciting, new world. I have been privileged to have access to it and I do not want to be the only one...but I do not know if I am the right person to bring about this change," Carys whispered dejectedly. Cadeyrn sat on Carys's bed and enveloped her in a brotherly embrace. "Do not say such things about yourself. You are as strong and determined as Mam was." Carys gave Cadeyrn a watery smile and he returned to his own bed. Carys turned her body around so that she was facing the window. The curtains were pulled aside so she could see the stars littering the night sky. The gentle slopes of the hills stretched as far as the eye could see and the darkened shadow of the village was a speck off in the distance. At this breathtaking sight, Carys finally let the tears fall. Each teardrop held her fears, her anger, and her sadness. Why would one need to find refuge in the shadows if there is nothing to hide? Only in a perfect world.

Dark Twists by Vinnianca

I still didn't understand what he said. I couldn't think of anything I had done to hurt him. Maybe I was really clueless about what was going on in his life. I wiped the tears off my face with my sleeve. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled." He said looking away. I sniffed. " So....was ...was..what we had...was our marriage...fake? " He sighed and remained silent. At that moment, I realized that the man I had loved and spent 10 years of my life with not only betrayed me by taking another wife but tried to take everything from me. He came into my life for revenge; he married me for revenge, and he loved me for revenge. Revenge for something I knew nothing about. On top of all that, we even had children. My Father was on his side, and he made me choose ...Divorce my husband and lose the right to being his only heir and lose custody over my children or get used to the fact that my husband married another woman and lived the rest of my life in luxury and misery. I can only hope that someone or something saves me from this hell hole.

The Assassin's Shadow by achicachica

***Top 55 of Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write Contest*** Elaine Archer didn’t always know she was different, not until her accident in sixth grade. A fall that should have killed her left her with nothing, not even a scar to flaunt as proof of her fall. From that moment on, she kept the secret even from her own family; the secret that she couldn’t be hurt by any ordinary means. Blades cut through her skin, fire burned her flesh, but her skin would simply mend itself as if it had a mind of it’s own. One day, she sees three people who, unknowingly to her, all possess gifts, like her. After days of stakeout, they succeed in kidnapping Elaine and take her away to work for them. In a world where no one can be trusted, how will she survive?

A Country Divided : Through Blood United by chloe-green

On a warm morning in the 1850's, Evangeline relaxes in her massive Missourian estate without a worry in the world. Evangeline's day collapses as her twin brother and father burst into the living room, chasing after the "family friend" because she did not fulfill her morning jobs, revealing the friend's true role in the house: a slave; brought into the Freebourne's family estate as their property. The event forever altered Evangeline's view on both the idea of slavery and her family, provoking her to run away with Jewel, and instead of the warm feeling of compassion toward her father and brother, a newer, colder perception emerged: hate. Although she still deeply cared for her flesh and blood, her feelings competed as she abhorred her family's principles. Her hate for her brother's Confederate opinions and her will to fight for freedom for all could drive her to take the lives of those opposed to her -including her twin brother- but does that really make Evangeline a killer? [NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE, MADE TO FIT THE PLOT, it's called Historical Fiction for a reason] [sorry that the cover looks so photoshopped lol] [STORY CREATED ON MARCH 30, 2017]
