She loved him with everything she had. He saved his love for someone else. Fiorenza Creswell is the radiant youngest daughter of the House Creswell of Caerwynne. She has always believed in the power of her beauty and charm to other people. She once believed that marriage would just be a political strategy to further expand their family business. When she found herself wedded to Cassian Moreaux, the man that she had secretly loved for years. She dares to hope that her secret, long-nurtured love for him will at last be fulfilled. However, their union was nothing more than a business arrangement to strengthen ties. It was a union forged in contracts, not affection. But Cassian's heart belongs elsewhere - to Aurelia Beaumont, his childhood friend and the Beaumont family's heiress. Fiorenza proud and willful, reshapes herself into the "perfect wife," hoping to win her husband's affection. Yet every attempt is met with cold rejection, leaving her spirit fractured and her heart aching. In despair, Fiorenza flees back to Caerwynne, where, in the dead of night, she casts herself into the River of Aeloria, a mystical river said to wash away unwanted memories of love. In the quiet of her new life, far from Veyrenne, she found herself intertwined with Adrien Whitmore, the heir to a dangerous family whose touch ignited a passion she had never known. What began as fiery disdain became an all-consuming secret, a forbidden flame that burned brighter with every stolen moment. Fiorenza finds herself caught in a perilous web of duty, betrayal, and forbidden desire. Torn between the man she once loved and the man she now burns for.

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.
