When a letter arrives in the mail offering Eliza Harrison a job at Keating Hall she takes it. Regardless of her mother's obvious dislike of the family or that she must take a leave of absence from university, Eliza is determined to discover the connection between the Keating Family and her deceased father, while saving up enough money to get her sick mother out of debt. 

What Eliza doesn't expect to find is someone who makes her heart beat a little faster. The arrogant, stubborn son of the late Mr. Keating. The one person who may make it a little harder to leave when the year is up. Someone who might have all the answers to Eliza's questions, but is too afraid to admit them out loud.

Inspired by Jane Eyre, however, it's quite a different story.All Rights Reserved

The Firstborn by QuenbyOlson

Sophia has sacrificed everything for her younger sister, Lucy. She has removed them from the only home they ever knew, taken on the care of Lucy's illegitimate son, George, and even assumed the role of a widow and mother in order to erase all hint of scandal from the boy's birth. But rumor continues to follow them like the darkest of clouds, and Sophia must adapt to her new existence as a false widow with no prospects beyond the doors of her small cottage. Lord Haughton - "Finn" to those close to him - will stop at nothing to prevent the slightest whiff of disgrace from tainting his family's name. When he learns of his younger brother's latest indiscretion-one that leaves a bastard child in his wake-Haughton rushes across the country to offer the boy's mother a comfortable living in exchange for her silence about the child's true parentage. But he arrives only to have his generous offer thrown back in his face by Sophia Brixton, a sharp-tongued and sharper-witted woman who proceeds to toss him out of her house. But just because he is banished from her home does not mean he is so easily banished from her life.

Colliding Hearts: The CEO & The Maid by Preeti03052000

Clary Evans never believed in fairytales. Life had been cruel, her parents even crueler, and the world had never given her a chance to dream. With no diploma and no future, she had only one goal-survive. Taking a job as a maid in the mansion of billionaire CEO Malcolm Hayes was supposed to be simple. Clean, stay invisible, and save enough money to finally escape her past. But Malcolm was *anything* but simple. Arrogant. Ruthless. Infuriatingly handsome. The man was a walking storm, and Clary had the misfortune of stepping right into its path. From the moment they met, they clashed like fire and ice, neither willing to back down. Yet, somewhere between the heated glares and the sharp words, something changed. Hate turned into understanding, and understanding turned into something deeper-something dangerous. But just when Clary let her walls down, the ghosts of her past came back to haunt her. Secrets she never wanted Malcolm to know threatened to tear them apart. And before she could stop it, she was forced to leave. Years later, when fate brings them back together, Malcolm is no longer just her arrogant boss-he's a man who never stopped searching for her. And this time, he's not letting her go. Love was never part of their plan. But sometimes, the strongest hearts collide in ways no one expects. --- Do you like this description? I can tweak it if you want a different tone!

Just to Have You (Blackwood & Friends #3) by Ashful

They had been the best of friends since childhood. She knew that he secretly wore spectacles. He knew that she had once stolen all the wine for the Eucharist from the parish church and blamed it on the town drunkard. There was very little that Amy Griffiths did not know about Lord Oliver Hollingsworth, the only friend she had ever had growing up in a tiny village where everybody knew everything about anybody. She was quite happy to rush headlong into spinsterhood while she tended to her mother and worked the small bookshop, and Lord Hollingsworth did not seem inclined to wed anytime soon having ensured no mother in her right mind would allow her daughter to consort with the likes of him after the whole debacle with his once intended, Miss Augusta Fleetwood, a few seasons ago. When Amy is convinced to visit London, little did the both of them realise how meddling some of his friends would be, and how adept at matchmaking the troublesome lot are. Soon, the delicate line between friendship and true love become harder to distinguish. Bit of a slow burn, sweet romance with MATURE content and a lot of humour.
