SUMMARY
Can we imagine a happier life than the one we would spend between hills and sea, vineyards and citrus fields and with to the person we love?
- Obviously, answers my heart
- Of course not, the reason tells me!
At the end of the 19th century, and in this Spanish Catalonia still strongly anchored in traditions, privileges and birth, answering this question is difficult.

DESCRIPTION
The end of the 19th century in Spain saw the emergence of a Catalan identity on a background of industrial and societal revolution. 
Isabel is the daughter of a farm worker and her family works for Diego's father, the lord of Cuevas-Blancas.
They are so young, so close, so attracted to each other. From their children's games to their adult status, their paths always bring them back to each other without them realizing their attraction.
Between the beautiful commoner and the young aristocrat, is a happy ending possible?
The vagaries of this era and the family taboos will be tests as determining as they are difficult.All Rights Reserved

Refuge In The Shadows by EmilyLuong

Raised as Hunters in a hidden counterinsurgency society in the late nineteenth century, nineteen year old Welsh twins Carys and Cadeyrn Llewelyn have led brutal, unforgiving lives filled with heartbreak and pain. As the only female Hunter, Carys has proven her place among the males, but not without a terrible price. And while Carys is as self-sacrificing as ever, it's up to Cadeyrn to make sure he's there to pick up the pieces. When a mysterious Hunter from London beckons the twins and their friends to the city to eliminate a target, self discoveries are made, relationships are tested, and wounds are reopened. _____ "Cadeyrn, everything we have been through, everything we have sacrificed has come down to this moment. Steamboats and trains make travel exponentially faster. Industry has become the crown jewel of the country. Stringent moral codes are disintegrating. Everything that we used to take for granted has been distorted. Amidst all of this revolution, I see women restlessly gazing out their windows. They want a share of this exciting, new world. I have been privileged to have access to it and I do not want to be the only one...but I do not know if I am the right person to bring about this change," Carys whispered dejectedly. Cadeyrn sat on Carys's bed and enveloped her in a brotherly embrace. "Do not say such things about yourself. You are as strong and determined as Mam was." Carys gave Cadeyrn a watery smile and he returned to his own bed. Carys turned her body around so that she was facing the window. The curtains were pulled aside so she could see the stars littering the night sky. The gentle slopes of the hills stretched as far as the eye could see and the darkened shadow of the village was a speck off in the distance. At this breathtaking sight, Carys finally let the tears fall. Each teardrop held her fears, her anger, and her sadness. Why would one need to find refuge in the shadows if there is nothing to hide? Only in a perfect world.

THE ROYALS by shabzy6

Sir Eric takes a deep breath and mutters as his demeanor radiates confidence. He knew that what he was about to say would change everything. He took a sip of the wine presented to him and continued, "As agreed several years ago, your daughter will be sent to my son's mansion in a week for the marriage alliance between our families. But here's the catch - I want the wedding to be held in just a few days!" The room fell silent as everyone absorbed Sir Eric's words. As they were both taken aback, but Sir Eric stood up nonchalantly, as though he hadn't just made a shocking announcement. His guard gave them a slight nod before departing with him, leaving them to grapple with the weight of his words. After his departure Thomas' wife glares at her husband, putting her hands on her waist on her hips in a disapproving manner, and speaks "It is with great concern that I express my disapproval of my daughter marrying him, Thomas. While it may seem natural for them to pair her up with their first son, Alex, might I remind you that my daughter's happiness comes first? If they wish to consider a union, I would be willing to entertain the idea if it were their legitimate child Andrew from the woman he married. However, it cannot be Alex, a child born to a waitress." Thomas shakes his head in disbelief, raising his hands in surrender. He states, "Lisa, I'm disappointed in you. It's not right to judge people based on their background. Their circumstances do not define their worth as human beings. Moreover, it's not your place to question how they ended up where they are now. You knew this day would come, didn't you?" She dismissively shrugs, like it's nothing, still insisting "I really won't let my daughter marry a bastard son Thomas" Turning towards a silhouette behind her, she smiles in triumph while suggesting, "Let your late brother's child marry him instead. Maya is still a part of our family," she declares with a triumphant smile.

Home Is Where The Heart Is - A Fighting Chance by graceful_pen

"... So maybe I did do it!" he mumbled, looking aimlessly at the ground. "Do what? Jumped us away in time?" "Wha...? How did you know I was going to say that?" "Well, first of all, last night you had this bright light around you, and then, the the next thing I knew, we wound up here. Then, while you were passed out, I looked a bit around. And by all indications, this is the exact same place we were at when we crashed. It just looks different: no asphalt roads, no city lights, no cell phone signal. And third, I just saw a ship at sea, which looked like the damn Mayflower! So I figured it can only mean one thing: we are in the past!" ************************************************ As they are about to experience a fatal car crash, LA surgeon Diego Perez and his wife Louise get sent back in time to the 19th century. It turns out that Diego has the ability to time-travel, and though he can not fully control it, this is not his first time doing it.

Now, at a much more mature age, but with a still youthful appearance, he is forced to take things up where he left them, with an upcoming wedding to his pregnant fiancée and much unresolved business as the town protector, Zorro. But he has his modern-day wife with him, who has her own connections to this place and time, and things get more complicated by the day. Will he be able to figure out how to get his wife back home? Will their love endure the test of the time travel? Will they manage to navigate the rough waters of their existence in the 19th century? Word Count approx. 86000.
