Anne Townsend doesn't ask for much. Plain and poor, she'd settle for the funds to put food on the table. Making a wish on the fabled Fairy Steps is hardly a solid solution, but to see her two sisters taken care of, Anne's willing to try anything. Yet when she finds herself suddenly surrounded with suitors, romance is now a possibility for the spinster everyone always ignored except with the one man who will never want her...

Nathaniel Matthews has no time for courting. As the eldest, he has his family's lost fortune to rebuild, and his reckless brother to manage before he gambles his future away. Odd that Nathaniel can think of little but kissing bright-eyed Anne, who seems to be fighting off admirers from all sides. Is it the country air, or is Nathaniel ready to discover that love has a magic all its own?All Rights Reserved

Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.

The Lady in Disguise by AbbyWheelerRomance

At a house party, a case of mistaken identity goes too far, compelling a lady's maid to play the part of a lady, risking her livelihood... and her heart! Emilia has always endeavored to be a humble and dutiful lady's maid, but the former seems beyond her and the latter... Well, there is only so much that can be asked! As a student of fashion, Emilia's goals weren't lofty. All she wished for was a charge who allowed her to make her mark in some small way, whether with hair, accessories, or a well-draped gown. Unfortunately, Prudence Crewe is the most unapologetically unfashionable bluestocking society has ever known. As if that weren't bad enough, now Pru expects her to take her place and her very identity at a house party! Emilia must navigate this mad charade while playing the part of Miss Prudence Crewe, putting off fortune hunters, thwarting a saboteur, trying not to enjoy living a life she only dreamed of, or even worse, falling in love. ********** Daniel Byrne, confident, rich and ruthless, may be a fatherless, Irish mongrel in the eyes of the Beau Monde, but he knows his worth and it can be measured in bank notes. For years he's thrown the kind of parties the younger men of The Ton couldn't resist. Now for The Ton to accept him or, at the very least, find him impossible to ignore, he only has only to make a good match. "Prudence Crewe" does not suit his needs at all. She's not high-born enough to raise his profile, poor enough to need his money, nor scandalous enough to make him interesting. Yet he can't dismiss her knowing glances, plain-spoken observations, and when circumstances throw them together, he doesn't wish to dismiss her at all... Book Two of The Crewe Legacy. Book One is The Lady Pursues. You don't necessarily need to read it in order to understand this one, but I recommend doing so as it will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the characters, meeting them there first.
