~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He follows me still, so I turn around to look at him. 'What do you want?' I say narrowing my eyes at him.

'To know what you are searching for,' he states all too simply. To know what I am searching for? I guess I never really thought of it. I stand there thinking of my answer. Then it dawns on me.

'For love,' I admit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Azalea the mere housemaid, according to Lady Guinevere, has no life ahead of her. She has no friends, except a horse named Joy, and has two parsimonious step sisters, Helen and Alys to keep her company. Not an ideal life right? That is until she meets devilishly handsome, farmboy Rowan. They become friends, but will they become more? 
             The Prince's Maiden Ball is taking the kingdom by storm. Who will be there? What shall I wear? Will he pick me to be his wife? Azalea is less than interested in Prince Peter. But will a personal visit change her mind? Could she finally have the life that she deserves?

After spending years as one of the most notorious rakes of the ton, Anthony Bridgerton has decided it's time to settle down and carry on the family line. He knows love exists, because his parents were a shining example of a loving, happy marriage. Still, he has no intentions of falling in love with his intended bride. Anthony's father died quite young, so Anthony believes, albeit irrationally, that he will die young too. Falling in love is a complication he doesn't need in his already too short life, so he sets out to court the beauty who is the latest toast of the ton. She is a woman who meets his requirements for a wife, but with whom he could never see himself falling in love. Anthony just didn't count on the infuriating lady stirring his desires in a way no other woman ever has. Amelia Windsor has no intention of allowing Anthony Bridgerton anywhere near herself. She vows to do whatever it takes to interfere with the rakish viscount's courtship, but in the process manages to unintentionally get herself into some outlandish situations, which also place her into close proximity with the man himself. Her encounters with Anthony leave her hot and bothered and feeling confused. But outside forces draw the two apart. Princess Amelia is engaged to King of Spain, while Anthony is forcefully engaged to Miss Edwina Sharma. Neither are a love match. Can the two break free of their chains and reunite? Or will they forever be held in place by their mistakes, regrets, and societal expectations? We shall find out, my gentle reader. #2 lovesquare
Bride Behind the Mask by wildx22

[COMPLETE] Drake Rohan's wife is a real piece of work. He despises everything about her. Everything from the heavily-powdered face, to the overly-red lips, to the shrilly voice she uses to yell the heads off the servants. But this marriage was his mother's last dying wish, and so he is stuck. Painfully stuck. Amelia Weston has never wanted to marry. She is her father's only child and all she ever wanted was to stay by his side for as long as she could. But her stubborn old man has insisted on marrying her off to a Northern stranger to honour a family agreement. And so she devises a perfect plan. Knowing just how much those Northerners hate court ladies from the South, Amelia turns herself into one ⎼ a much-exaggerated version of one. She does everything she can think of to get on Drake's nerves so he would annul their marriage and send her home. But his inhuman patience continues to drive her mad... As their battle of will and wits ensues, a storm is brewing from afar, threatening to tear them and the kingdom apart. ✽ ✽ ✽ Rated Mature for a bit of sex and a bit of foul language.

A Time Traveling Fairytale by ElsaS7
56 parts Complete
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not. One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries. But do not worry, fate loves a rebel and has something magical stored for our sarcastic heroine. Time travel. An adventure in the 16th century was not something our main character had in mind, but when her path is built with music and joy, it can't be that bad, right? Oh, who am I kidding. . . At first glance, it seemed to be the perfect fairytale for our main character; being able to experience the medieval time and be surrounded by enchantment wherever she went. She even meets a monk, blessed with the gift of music, who shares her passion and is willing to teach Elena the secrets of the piano. It's perfect. But it was only the tip of the iceberg. Elena's piece of tranquility is broken when she stumbles into another mess, leaving her caged and alone in the forest. Fortunately for our heroine, a prince crosses her path, helping her in her need. One might see this as the Universe's way for entertainment, or the fate's bizarre tactics to bring people together. Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom. Before anyone knows what's even happening, they're caught in the middle of it all; like a cat trapped in a yarn. After all, even the stone you trip on is a part of your destiny. What happens when the Universe, and basically everything between hell and heaven, is against you? Simple: it's a journey filled with unforgettable events. So buckle up, folks, because you are in for a ride of pirates, songs, chases, jokes, and a broken soul. After all, there is no flying from fate.
