She is nobility. She has everything. Everything except... the sense of joy on achieving something all by herself. It's about time she corrected that. Join Lady Rivera Coldmarrow as she sets out to be an independent young woman and quite a contradictory figure in the late 19th century England, a world of absurd (and out-dated) social norms... and perhaps, a world that is starting to think anew.

Proper Princess by LegendaryPenName

It has been ten years since Amelia was adopted by Lord and Lady Baldwin, and publicly recognized as a member of the Nobility. Now it is time for her to step out into high society and be recognized as something completely different- a debutante. A young woman now eligible for marriage. Amelia has never quite fit into the world of high-society. Having been born into poverty and adopted as a child, it has always seemed to her that she is the black sheep of the bunch. 'Ladylike' has never been a word that she would use to describe herself. She has never viewed herself as the marriageable-type, and has never found herself to care much for the idea of courtships. And yet, in the tangles of 19th Century London, a young lady has no choice. After all, Amelia's elder sister- the perfect daughter, with golden curls and a flawless face- has already secured an Earl to court. The two of them do not care much for each other, but love is not what matters. It is all about status and tradition. But in a world where it is unheard of for a woman to marry for love, Amelia soon discovers that her own happily ever after may not be as impossible as she though. But why is it the Earl's eyes that keep drawing Amelia in? And what if the rules surrounding the strict and formal courtships are rules that Amelia simply does not want to follow? After all, she has never been much of a Lady. ***Stand-alone sequel to Pauper Princess- though suggested, you do not have to read the first book to understand this one***

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.

From Princess to Pirate: The Legend of Ci Wivret by p4sserine

In the kingdom of Alverot, Princess Marina Amon's fate seems to be set in stone: a political marriage to a rising tyrant known as Prince Camaro from the Kingdom of Furlinver. Fleeing in fear for her future, Marina turns heel from her wedding and goes into hiding, seeking shelter from a peasant girl and her grandmother. Through them, she learns to lead a secret life as Ci Wivret that is far from luxury. It's only until fate beckons her back to the altar, and in an attempt to face it, she is met, rather, with a crew of rowdy pirates aboard the Queen Karma who kidnap her and seek to topple the tyranny of Prince Camaro. Written by a queer, feminist woman, From Princess to Pirate: The Legend of Ci Wivret is a story of courage, sacrifice, and defiance; a tale of seeking identity, facing and forging destiny, and what we do for love.
