Olivia Oliver was born into wealth and privilege in Beverly, Massachusetts, but when her family loses their estate during the Great Depression, she is forced to move herself and her two orphaned siblings out of Oliver Manor and into a small apartment downtown. Her new home comes with a bevy of neighbors: motherly Miss Edda, moody Richard Barton and his daughter Sarah, grouchy Mr. Hecker, and the charming dance instructor Alan Carey. 

Olivia is soon swept up in the thrill of a professional dance career, working two jobs, raising her siblings, attempting to meet her aunt and uncle's societal expectations, and navigating a friendship with the handsome new owner of Oliver Manor.

For fans of historical fiction and romance, and heavily influenced by the work of L.M. Montgomery and L.M. Alcott, "Miss Oliver At Home" is a moving story about what truly makes a place a home.

This is a completed work, with new chapters released each week!

Purcell's Pairings | ✔ by Hxxwritten_

It is 1840, and New York's biggest party is about to be held. The Purcell family is one of the richest families in the whole state, and its three daughters are ready to take on a husband. This party is the perfect place to find said man; the party of the decade, it is, and this year, the sisters have decided to expand its purpose. Twenty carefully selected invites were sent out to young men and women from all over the world with the hope of forming a few romantic pairs. Their mission is to find their "other half" at the party, for a brooch that is given to a woman matches the colour of a cufflink given to the men, creating a perfect pair. When the party ends and each finds their pairing, sisters included, they are to spend a few extra weeks in an guest house owned by the Purcells in hopes of concluding some happily-ever-after endings. If only it was that simple for everyone. Annalise Purcell, the middle child of the three beauties, isn't as easy to please as her sisters. Not only is she hooked on a former love interest who mysteriously makes his way back into the state of New York, but a man with far too high expectations and very strict rules is determined to have her hand in marriage by the end of the wedding season, even though she despises him. Can true love bloom like the flowers in early spring for the sister? Or will she have no choice but to give herself to the man she sees every night in her nightmares?

Toast of the Season by MissCrystalSnow92

Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

The End of Wythwood Boulevard by kyrvvism

Note: Coming back to this two years later and seeing all of the spelling and grammar mistakes is hurting me on a spiritual level. The year is 1830 in Bromwich, Massachusetts. Beginning on New Year's day, the Clarke family begins their journey through the year with hopeful thoughts of the things to come, but soon find that they may end up discovering more than they'd expected. This book, the first of many to come, I'm sure, will cover the story of Elsie Clarke and Lenore Whittock as they get to know each other and become friends, and, eventually, maybe even more.. ------------- Co-written by @dilflover290. Cover made by @deluner.
