    Fredrick is charming and clever, seeming like the perfect husband. However he holds a secret that could cost him everything.
    Max, an aspiring playwright is the more studious of the two, but also another puzzle Emilia can't work out.
      In a confusing whirlwind of emotions Emilia flees, determined not to have her heartbroken. Only one man pursues her but matters of the heart are never simple as she soon comes to find, and some sacrifices she is unwilling to make.

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.

The Blueness of a Blue Wild Flower by LunarisInvictii

"And I am always correct, today proved it again. First love will always be the last." "Because you're either too damaged or too stuck," he smirked as he continued, "So which one is it?" Aquila Augustus Ashworth was the kind of person who had the pretty face, held the highest of honors in his academics, one of the best in poetry, an English rich family with Italian roots, with a not so pretty twists, a circle of friends enough to give him enough "street smarts" and most of all, perhaps his greatest gift, having a trustworthy person beside him, his childhood friend Kyleigh Frances "Kiwi" Winters, a beautiful mature girl with a height deficiency, complimenting her cute childlike face, a person adored and dreamed by many.

And with the tests of fate, the walls trapping him starts pushing him to the pit. The walls of his one new found ideal: "First love`s the last." Will he fall into the pit? I wonder.

Are you bored by the mundane already?" "Aren't you?" "I survive the mundane," he cocked his head to one side, searching for words in the air, "because certain people make it extraordinary."
