{Under Huge Revision; formally known as 'Allie's Heart'} As the eldest daughter of the Duke of Silvermont, Lady Allison 'Allie' Merriman, always knew that she would never inherit the grand estate, the title, or the money that had run in her family for so long. As a woman, she knew that marriage was the only way in which she would be able to achieve the lifestyle that she had been brought up to know. To her, marriage could never about the prospect of love, but it is a tactic used to make a life for herself, like both her mother and aunt had done. But when her younger sister comes home from the London season engaged to a man without a title, Allie can't help but think that her sister, Ruthie, is making the mistake of a lifetime. But when seeing what her sister and husband have, will Allie to change her mind about the commitment of marriage and how important love is? Lord Morgan Livingston, the Earl of Bridgehead, had always said that one day he would find a woman who would completely steal his heart, but until that day, he would spend his time enjoying himself. Notorious rake and scoundrel, Morgan never thought that he would find himself traveling back to the countryside to be the best man at his cousin's wedding Lady Ruth Merriman. But that day might be closer than Morgan believes, when he meets Lady Ruth's older sister, who will have him on his toes for his entire stay at the Silvermont estate. In a clash of minds and wills, the two have to figure out what is important to them in fulfilling their own lives to become happy, because loving a Lady is never as easy as it seems.

"No respect for the dead." His words came out in silent whispers, his teeth clenched. A small smile tugged on her lips. "Respect is earned in life, my lord. When a man fails to earn respect in life, it cannot suddenly be bestowed on him simply because he returned to the dust whence he came." "At the very least, Lady Atkins, pretend," he admonished. "Pretend to mourn for your husband! You are a woman in mourning! Grief, sadness, decency is expected of you," he growled, stepping so close to her, his nose almost kissed hers. "Not a low-cut, salacious red dress!" She inched forward, jaw set, until she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "And you are a man whose cousin's widow was only a few minutes ago caught with a man on top of her," she shot back, leaning further in until her lips were nearly brushing his as she searched his gaze. "Anger, rage, fury, is expected of you, my lord... Not jealousy!" * Newly widowed, the sudden death of Beatrice's husband has brought about her freedom from the shackles of a loveless marriage... Or so she thinks. All hope is quickly lost when she discovers her husband's cruelty in disinheriting her and leaving her penniless. But worse than his decision to disinherit her, is his decision to leave her at the mercy of his cousin; Noah, the very handsome Marquess of Camden. TW: This story contains mentions of suicide.
