Eighteen year old debutante, Marigold Fairfax, has two major problems. One: she is hopelessly and unrequitedly in love with her charming neighbor, Theodore Farrington, who calls her Goldie. Two: she has a terrible secret. By day, she may be a socially awkward debutante without prospects, but by night she is London's most notorious dancer; christened "The Lady of the Night." Her anonymous performances border on treasonous in a time when the English monarchy aims to repress social unrest following 1816's widespread famine, putting both her and those she loves in mortal danger. In a time where women have little place in the world, only those irrational and reckless enough try to burn a path for themselves. So while Marigold plays with fire, she tries desperately not to get burned.

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc)
A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.Concluida![🌸The Promise 🌸[18+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/202797167-256-k241815.jpg)

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.
