A month after leaving her life as the Ealing's scullery maid, fourteen-year-old Rosie Grey had to go back home without so much as a reference. Her brother helps her start a new life, offering her a job in his tailor shop, away from the comforts and struggles of the Ealing household.

Although a different job from the one she had worked for six months, Rosie flourishes under the instruction of her brother, but she cannot forget the life she has lived. The memories of life in the factory and the struggles she faced under Mrs Ealing's thumb continue to plague her mind. As do her feelings for the Ealing's oldest son, Robert. The only person who was kind to her in the Ealing family, and the reason for her leaving. His soft brown curly locks and smile makes her forget the difficulties she has faced in the past, even if she is sure she will never see him again.

That is until Robert shows up and stirs the scandal up again, forcing her to figure out her true feelings for the Ealing's oldest son and come to terms with who she really is.

"Because I could never imagine my life without you in it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You had everything you could've needed. Two loving fathers, a happy home, a job harvesting crops for your small village, everything was fine until you were taken into captivity as a test subject for the Rainbow Factory, a company that secretly used living and nonliving beings and drained the color out of them to create rainbows. All for the best, all hidden deep in a forest. After being in captivity for a few days, having seen enough, you decided to take a new route. You faced the head scientist himself, Dr. Walden Darling, and demanded life. "Join me, and you'll never have to worry about death again." You were given the chance to become the head scientist's assistant, and you immediately took the job if it meant saving your life. Working with Wally was no walk in the park, and just being in the factory drained you and killed you inside. So with hidden help, you decided to escape. And perhaps, one day, destroy the factory for good. ! TW: human test subjects, employee x boss relationship, moderate swearing, moderate intimacy, trauma, gore, violence, child death, suicide !

Twelve-year-old Sarah Lee longs to remain in the golden fields under a starry sky forever, but life has other plans for her. After the bleak spring of 1816 yields meager crops, Sarah's family flees its home in the English countryside to labor at a textile factory in newly industrial London. A factory accident several months later leaves Sarah's father out of work and her family desperate for money. Despite the worries of her older brother Thomas, Sarah disguises herself and ventures into a dangerous new job. Sarah soon learns that life in London is not as simple as it seems. She meets Jamie, a sullen, aggressive boy who helps her adjust to the new conditions. But Jamie has dark secrets of his own, and his reluctance to trust strangers clashes with Sarah's burning curiosity about his past.

Knowing that she had to take matters into her own hands, and fast, an advertisement in the societal papers provides Millie with one last avenue of hope: Mrs. Addilyn's Anxious Hearts Society Matchmaking Service. Blayne Leowyn's human name was James Woode according to the documentation this world had provided him, though he was anything but. He lived a solitary existence in the forests skirting around the capital city. The beasts and creatures that dwelled in the area were under his care, tempered and appeased by his tenuous administrations to prevent discord between human and fae. He has little interest in the human way, though when his path crosses with a human woman thanks to Mrs. Addilyn's interfering services, he could not ignore the allure he felt kindling within him. But his unwitting match, Miss Adams, became furious and aloof, and his need for companionship would surely lack considering the woman was mute. However, he could not deny there was something about her... This is a historical fantasy romance novel, heavy focus on the romance.
