When the Quinceys settle in Rushmore Park, near the village of Redding, much commotion emerges from many families neighbouring them. Each has a daughter to marry, and despite a want of great fortune, they all are exceedingly accomplished, and speculation begins as to whom might be the lucky one to win Edward Quincey's heart (and his fortune).
His sister, Miss Magali Quincey, observes discreetly from a distance, match-making and dissuading any imprudent associations until she meets the new vicar of Redding: young, well-bred and ambitious.

One Temptation
"What's with the glare? Just a few admirers for the beauty, West." I smirk, teasing his jealousy. "Because beautiful doesn't justify you sweetheart, you... you're not just beautiful, you're extraordinary. And it drives me mad. I don't want anyone else laying eyes on you. They wouldn't survive the night if they tried." "What will you do about it? Threaten them?" I move closer to him. His hand finds my face, gently stroking my cheek, "If I have to. Anyone who thinks they can take you, better think twice. You are precious to me, you're not just another pretty face. You are mine and I'm yours, and I intend to keep it that way.

The Edge of Misery: The Mitchel Brothers Series Book Two
** Picks up where The Edge of Hell (Mitchell Brothers Series Book One) left off** If there's one thing Declan Mitchell learned from watching his mama almost die from the heartbreak of losing his daddy to a war nineteen years ago, it was that a great and powerful love delivered an equally devastating heartbreak and suffering-the kind he had every intention of avoiding like the bubonic plague. And until traveling west to Idaho Territory and coming face to face with the mismatch-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, Wren McCrawdon, he believed he might succeed in carrying out his plans of never marrying. Molded by her traumatic journey west when she was twelve, twenty-four-year-old, accident-prone Wren McCrawdon's life on her family's ranch in Falcon Ridge, Idaho, is full of back-breaking work, beginning as dawn's first rays peek across the mountains and ending long after the sun sets when she can barely drag her weary bones up the stairs to her bedroom. But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.Complete

(ADOPTED) 𝚆𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚕𝚞𝚜𝚝 - After the End ASOUE FanFic
(Adopted by @UniversallyStolen / Callie) Dear reader, If you are here to mourn the sad cliffhanger in the Baudelaire orphans' lives and the separation of the Baudelaires and the Quagmires, you are in the wrong place. I am here to tell you what happened after the Baudelaires and Beatrice II set sail for Briny Beach. I cannot tell you much but it involves an unexpected encounter with a lost relative, a man with hair but no beard and woman with a beard and no hair (or vice versa) and of course, the search for the stolen sugar bowl Wanderlust is a word which here means "a lust for wandering;" but if you have read the exceedingly long novel of Leo Tolstoy entitled 'Anna Karenina' then you know that a rural life of moral simplicity, despite its monotony, is the preferable personal narrative to a daring life of impulsive passion, which only AND always leads to tragedy. If anyone asks you "Is a safe life really enough?" Take my advice. Look away from this sad tale. And answer yes to the person who asked you. Ships are: Klaus x Isadora Duncan x Violet (dont really ship this but the story wont make sense) Quigley x ??? Some mild swearing. All characters except for Sophie belongs to Lemony Snicket. 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: april 15th 2020 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗱: october 10th 2020 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱: nov 17. 2020Complete
