Revenge is a dish best eaten cold. Miss Letitia DeVere adopts this tactic when she returns to London after a two-year absence to find her former admirer Lord Charles Blackwood on the verge of proposing to Miss Patience Cherwell. Lord Blackwood's Valentine Ball proved to be the turning point in his fledgling romance with Patience. Letitia is not the kind of woman that gives up easily, as Patience and Charles soon find out. She stoops at nothing to achieve her aims. However, Letitia has a dark past, with secrets that threaten to return and destroy her newfound social success. When Charles proves less malleable than in the past, Letitia resorts to subterfuge, seduction, blackmail, and even violence to force him to propose. Will he see through her tricks and remain true to Patience, or will Letitia's seductive wiles lure him back? (This is the sequel to Lord Blackwood's Valentine ball)

**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?

I'm Not Kissing The Devil Twice by Kem-Bee
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Taleesa has spent her life in the shadow of her younger sister, constantly striving to win the affection of a family that only adores the weak and fragile sibling. All she wishes for is an escape-someone who would love her for who she is. When a marriage proposal from the infamous Duke Clorance arrives, it feels like anything but fortune, as the duke is known for his cold heart and cruel nature. Just as she's about to accept her fate, another proposal comes, this time from the charming Marquis Reidwood, whose warmth and sweetness sweep her off her feet. But happiness is fleeting. After their marriage, Taleesa discovers that the marquis is not the man he appeared to be. He only married her to hurt his rival, the duke, who is secretly in love with her. Trapped in a nightmare of physical and emotional abuse, her life becomes a twisted game where she is forced to maintain the facade of a happy marriage. As her hopes of bearing an heir are crushed, she faces cruelty not just from her husband, but from his family and the public. Her life takes a darker turn when she learns her beloved sister has been having an affair with the marquis for nine years-and is now pregnant with his child. Betrayed by her own family, Taleesa is framed for adultery and sent away with nothing, and when she believes she can finally be free, she faces a cruel death from the hands of her husband. But fate isn't done with her yet. Taleesa wakes up the day before she accepted the marquis's proposal. This time, she vows not to kiss the devil twice. But rejecting him will put her life in danger, and with her wicked family standing in her way, escape is impossible. Her only chance lies in the hands of Duke Clorance, the very man she once feared, but who may be her only hope for survival-and love. In a world of betrayal and heartbreak, can Taleesa rewrite her fate and find the love she deserves? Or will she fall victim to the same cruel game once again?

A Fiery Dalliance

46 parts Complete

The words graceful, proper, ladylike and elegant could never be used to describe Perrie Beresford, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Ashwood. Perrie has always had a little too much fire in her to ever be classified as a beautiful young debutante, which is what she will inevitably become in her first Season. But romance, courting, and marriage are the last things on Perrie's mind. Especially when her nemesis, who was once an annoying classmate, suddenly appears in her home as her father's protégé. As Perrie is pushed towards the life of an adult by those around her, she can't help but be pulled into a game of wars within the walls of her very home. But Perrie is about to learn that the line between love and hate are very fine ... and perhaps might not even exist at all.
