"All her life, Emily Meadows had one purpose,
one goal: Marry well, have children, pass on the family legacy. Each day, her fashion-obsessed, extremely girly mother brings forth a crowd of suitors, but to Emily, none of them seemed quite right.
There was just no attraction, just no...love.
And then she met Violet Underwood.
Loud, outspoken, a rebel...what the people at the time called 'a freak.' And, most importantly...she wasn't a guy.
Emily had never heard of a woman loving another woman. So why does her heart race every time Violet comes by?"
In the 1800's, a time when women's rights were just a silly fantasy and homosexuality was unheard of, two young girls struggle to stay together in a world that refuses to accept them. ♡

The People with Useless Power
Some people could read minds; others could control fire. But out of all of the amazing powers in the world, Emily Houston got the lamest: changing percentages. Sure, it was useful if her phone died, but that was pretty much all. That is, until a small alliance comes to her and decides to 'recruit' her to join "The People with Useless Power." They really kidnap her. Mega oof. There she meets an insane woman, Mara, who's the owner and the leader of the organization- who has no regard for anyone and acts painfully formal to friends and family. She also meets Emma, a pink-haired menace to society and notorious player who should always be walking in front of an explosion wearing sunglasses and flipping everyone off. Will she escape and reunite with her family? Will Mara brutally murder her? Will Emily find love on the way? How many sociopaths are in this story? ... Read and find out.Complete![Ms. Homophobic (gxg) ~[Editing]~](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/7404252-256-k178060.jpg)

The Princess and I
Elizabeth has studied for many years now and is finally ready for her first courting season. She has it all figured out: she wants to marry a wealthy man who will love her and give her many children. She's got her eye on her brother's best friend, Duke Liam Arlington, the eternal bachelor. And it soon turns out that Elizabeth has caught his attention as well. Their marriage will follow soon... or won't it? We all know about the Victorian Era. The many balls and social events. Splendid dresses. London's famous courting season. This love story is a different kind of love story, though not less real. It's about a love that was and perhaps still isn't as accepted as it should be, but therefore not less powerful or wonderful. This story is about one of the most important battles in one's life: the battle to love whoever one wants.Complete![Feels Like Home • Maya Hart [1] | ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/307863892-256-k727640.jpg)

Maya...The Illusion (MAJOR EDITING)
"Beauty can be a blessing or a Curse. Those who hold faith in destiny, true love, and soulmates possess a unique luck: the ability to still see the world through hopeful, imaginative eyes. While others find love, my beauty has been a barrier to genuine connection; I yearn to finally hope, dream, and love like everyone else" Life was never easy for Maya, who was abandoned by her birth parents as an infant and left to wonder why. She had no family besides her uncle, a caring man who rescued her from an orphanage when she was ten. He has been her only friend and mentor ever since. Her world shifted in junior high, transforming a good life into a living hell. Ever since, Maya has been plagued by anxiety and an inability to trust. She focuses entirely on evading unwanted attention and the horror it brings. She is left questioning if she can ever truly defend herself, escape the cruel world, and secure her own future.Complete
