All she wishes for is an escape-someone who would love her for who she is. When a marriage proposal from the infamous Duke Clorance arrives, it feels like anything but fortune, as the duke is known for his cold heart and cruel nature. Just as she's about to accept her fate, another proposal comes, this time from the charming Marquis Reidwood, whose warmth and sweetness sweep her off her feet. But happiness is fleeting. After their marriage, Taleesa discovers that the marquis is not the man he appeared to be. He only married her to hurt his rival, the duke, who is secretly in love with her. Trapped in a nightmare of physical and emotional abuse, her life becomes a twisted game where she is forced to maintain the facade of a happy marriage. As her hopes of bearing an heir are crushed, she faces cruelty not just from her husband, but from his family and the public. Her life takes a darker turn when she learns her beloved sister has been having an affair with the marquis for nine years-and is now pregnant with his child. Betrayed by her own family, Taleesa is framed for adultery and sent away with nothing, and when she believes she can finally be free, she faces a cruel death from the hands of her husband. But fate isn't done with her yet. Taleesa wakes up the day before she accepted the marquis's proposal. This time, she vows not to kiss the devil twice. But rejecting him will put her life in danger, and with her wicked family standing in her way, escape is impossible. Her only chance lies in the hands of Duke Clorance, the very man she once feared, but who may be her only hope for survival-and love.

The Inured Villainess by emwritesbookstories

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

The Beauty Of Rose by yahsss

**DRAFT MOSTLY** FOR FANS OF BRIDGERTON Rose Axel is deformed from the burns she endured from her father. Her face is forever hidden under a veil. Her waist is much too wide, hips too ample.

And she is right to think so. Matthew Whitfield is not happy upon receiving Rose as a bride. He cannot even look upon her, as she refuses to take off her veil, and has no features he considers attractive. The handsome charming Mr. Whitfield cannot be bothered by the likes of his wife. She is the fulfillment of a contract and nothing more. So he takes a mistress, and falls in love. Victoria Sill is everything Rose is not. Beautiful, gliding, and glowing. She's interested in one thing only, and that is to hold the title of Matthew's wife, Mrs. Whitfield. She doesn't care who she has to crush to get her way, be it Rose herself. Victoria always get what she wants. Be it one way or other. Soon Rose falls upon a secret that turns the tables. In addition, Victoria finds a way to become closer to the Whitfield name. A child. As the circumstances shift, and the Whitfield mansion is thrown into uproar, will this situation bring Matthew and Rose together? Or will Victoria succeed in keeping them apart? ---- #35 in victorian 5/13/22 #1 in oldtimes 5/23/22 #2 in regency 5/28/22 #1 in bridgerton 6/15/22 [[word count: 80,000-100,000 words]]
