30s-couple american-hero horses scotland victorian

Victorian Scotland in 1875 didn't present a woman with many options.  Katherine Cameron was too old to marry, too high born to be a housekeeper, too uneducated to be a governess, from too disreputable a family to be a companion and too skinny to be a mistress.  The quiet independence she'd created wasn't everything she wanted, but she knew it was the best she was likely to get.

Then an unexpected meeting with Andrew Spears, a fascinating American about whom she knows very little, launches both their hearts on an adventure through the lives of servants, industrialists, peers and prostitutes, from the Second City of the Empire to a beautiful hidden Highland glen, along the cutting edge of the wonders of the Victorian Age and finally face to face with her shocking past - and his secret life.All Rights Reserved

Beast by AlexiCom

The village loomed closer and closer, but instead of the usual deathly silence that hung thick in the air when Alexander and Rowan came through, the village was awash with jeering and shouting. Alexander halted and shifted uneasily in the saddle as thoughts of whether this was all meant for him or some other poor soul made his stomach churn painfully. "Mi'lord, none of this is meant for you." Rowan murmured from Alex's left hand side. "They are calling out 'Witch' Rowan, what if they mean to...." Alexander turned his head to Rowan and watched as his friends face paled. "They wouldn't..... Surely to God, they wouldn't....." Rowan asked as a shudder ripped through him and his hands clenched the reigns in a death grip. "I-" Alexander started to say but turned his head at the sound of a terrified female scream. Rowan watched as Alexander kicked his horse into motion, not missing the animalistic growl he let out as the horse raced towards the village. Rowan shot off after Alexander, all the while sending silent prayers to God asking that he protect that girl and forgive his friend. Rowan was no more than six yards behind, but it was too far - he needed to stay close to his friend, he did not know how he would react if they were burning her for her 'crimes'. This is a excerpt of this story, I hope you enjoy it - if you decide to read any more that is. Please leave constructive feedback - it is always appreciated.

No Doom But Bliss by JaneTurenne

Lady Tess Keighley has long since realised, too late, that her husband's interest in her is political rather than personal. Edmund got exactly what he wanted from marriage into her family: the office of Prime Minister. Tess, on the other hand, got a decade of neglect and cruelty that has left her believing herself wholly undesirable. But that isn't what Kantor Mamblestone - Scotsman, ex-soldier, and currently her husband's secretary - sees when he looks at Tess. Her beauty, brains and sweetness are enough to leave his previously respectable Victorian soul in no little degree of torment. And, sweet though she may be, Tess has more fight in her than it seems... (Complete)

He murmured kissing her hair and making his way down to her neck. "One I know you'll be very good at playing." She smiled up at him. "The things you make me do woman."

"No." She shrugged, "I'm an exception." "Indeed you are."
