Desperation and poor economic status can inspire the strangest of behavior in any young woman, including Margaret Hill. Her standing as a seamstress and barmaid has offered nothing beyond the occasional stiff glance from onlookers, and she desires a new start in a new land - a new timeline would have been even better. Although unable to reframe the hours of the earth, Margaret is sent the opportunity of a lifetime. A sealed document detailing a handsome sum of money in exchange for menial tasks is dropped off at her front door, and the promise of distance from local eyes piques her interest. Under the guise of excitement and prospects, Margaret and eleven other unfortunate souls enter into contract with the lord of the Garrison Estate. Their fates tied to their upcoming destination, they unknowingly begin the treacherous task of escaping a monster's tyranny and watchful eye.

Lexi world has come crashing down. Her family's prestigious business empire, built over generations, is in shambles-wrecked by her father's reckless gambling and alcohol-fueled mistakes. On the verge of financial ruin, with creditors banging at their door, she is presented with an unimaginable offer from the enigmatic billionaire Julian Blackwood. Julian isn't just any man. He's one of the most powerful, ruthless figures in the business world, known for getting what he wants at any cost. His wealth and influence are limitless, and now, he's set his sights on Lexi. His proposal is as simple as it is shocking: spend one year as his lover, subm it to his every desire, bear his child, and he will save her family from financial devastation. Desperation forces Lexi to consider the unthinkable. If she agrees, it means plunging herself into Julian's world of luxury and excess, but also into a dangerous game of submission and control. What she doesn't expect is how intensely Julian will dominate not only her body, but her mind and heart as well. In his glittering penthouses and private jets, Lexi is drawn deeper into his twisted world, where pleasure and pain intertwine, and where she finds herself craving the very things she once feared. But Julian's wealth comes with more than just power. It brings danger. His empire is built on secrets, and as Lexi becomes more entangled in his life, she realizes that his obsession with her goes beyond lust. He wants to own her in every way. And though Lexi begins to surrender to his intoxicating touch, she starts to unravel the dark forces lurking behind his fortune. His enemies are watching, waiting for any sign of weakness, and Lexi may be the perfect target. As the lines between contract and real emotion blur, Lexi finds herself torn. He isn't just a billionaire offering her salvation, he is a man who will stop at nothing to possess her completely.

Hope Hillburn was born to a life of servitude and never once questioned her role in society. As a lady's maid to Noelle Parrish, she had everything she wanted out of life; a secure and honorable post, a decent room to call her own, and ample time to write fantastical tales of winsome creatures while her mistress, Lady Noelle, attended the various society events offered by the ton. Lady Noelle Parrish knew that her father was anxious to see her wed but she never imagined he'd go behind her back and arrange for her to marry against her will, to a duke with a questionable reputation no less. Disheartened by the prospect of marrying a man she's never met and the possibility of foregoing a lifetime of love, Noelle makes the impulsive decision to flee England with an American gentleman she's only just met. There's only one problem... Lady Noelle's father, the Earl of Brattondale, would never permit her to marry an untitled American, nor was he willing to go back on his word to the duke. In her desperation, Lady Noelle convinces Hope to take her place after noticing an uncanny resemblance between them both. Against her own better judgment, Hope agrees to take Noelle's place when she realizes there's no other way for Noelle to flee to America without causing her family disgrace. Thrown into a life she has only ever viewed from the outside, Hope must convince everyone that she is a lady lest her farce be discovered. She is confident that she can handle society's strict rules of propriety but she soon learns that guarding her heart from falling in love with an incredibly handsome, self assured duke with a penchant for snarling isn't going to be quite as easy.

**DRAFT MOSTLY** FOR FANS OF BRIDGERTON Rose Axel is deformed from the burns she endured from her father. Her face is forever hidden under a veil. Her waist is much too wide, hips too ample. Too many prefer calling her fat. Or to her family, a cow. When hastily married after her father's death, to honor the agreement made in his will, she expects nothing of it. And she is right to think so. Matthew Whitfield is not happy upon receiving Rose as a bride. He cannot even look upon her, as she refuses to take off her veil, and has no features he considers attractive. The handsome charming Mr. Whitfield cannot be bothered by the likes of his wife. She is the fulfillment of a contract and nothing more. So he takes a mistress, and falls in love. Victoria Sill is everything Rose is not. Beautiful, gliding, and glowing. She's interested in one thing only, and that is to hold the title of Matthew's wife, Mrs. Whitfield. She doesn't care who she has to crush to get her way, be it Rose herself. Victoria always get what she wants. Be it one way or other. Soon Rose falls upon a secret that turns the tables. In addition, Victoria finds a way to become closer to the Whitfield name. A child. As the circumstances shift, and the Whitfield mansion is thrown into uproar, will this situation bring Matthew and Rose together? Or will Victoria succeed in keeping them apart? ---- #35 in victorian 5/13/22 #1 in oldtimes 5/23/22 #2 in regency 5/28/22 #1 in bridgerton 6/15/22 [[word count: 80,000-100,000 words]]

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!
