Rowan never thought she would find herself in the Season at all, being a lowly peasant from the countryside. But a chance encounter as a child might have set her on a path she never dreamed possible. Could this ridiculous notion of courting a bunch of rich spoiled brats actually bring her to her soul mate? Or just leave her heartbroken and worse off than before? "Was he just teasing me? Was this just some point to prove that he knew I was attracted to him even though I clearly hated him? My thoughts were so jumbled I couldn't work through them. Some very small voice in the back of my head was yelling at me and asking what the hell I was doing. But it continued to get smaller and smaller every time his fingers and lips grazed my skin. All I knew now was how amazing his skin felt on mine. It was clear where he was going. He was going to kiss me. And I wanted him to." [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

A Glimpse of Love by dambesc

First book of the Acklams "A love hidden in memories..." Henry Acklam had long ago abandoned any thoughts of love. There were duties to fulfill-responsibilities to his family-and no room for weakness, no one with whom he could share his deepest feelings. At least, that was what he told himself. Yet, there was Noah, his best friend, whose heart ached for a loving marriage, someone to build a future with. Henry, ever loyal, would help him find the perfect wife, sacrificing his own discomfort to attend balls and events that never truly interested him. Anna Keighley, on the other hand, was in her fourth season, and the search for a husband wasn't a priority for her. Yet, unlike Henry, she did not shy away from the idea of love. Her open heart made Henry question his own convictions. She was the perfect match for Noah-beautiful, graceful, and kind-someone who could light up any room. Still, in the quiet depths of Henry's soul, something lingered, something he couldn't ignore. Love, he had come to believe, resided not in grand gestures, but in the unspoken glances shared between two people. When Anna Keighley looked at him, there was a spark, a quiet intensity, that spoke of a bond neither of them could deny.

Eventually Yours by ANHorton1227

A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister. It's a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it's always been Ella Harrington's buffer. Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all. A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn't interested in her anyway. Right?
