Traumatized by a blaze that killed her parents, young Johanna Vaughan remembers nothing of her privileged past. She remains ignorant of the complexities and dangers that surround her and gladly accepts a new identity when her guardians, an aging tenant couple, deem it necessary to disguise her as their adopted son.  Raised among the servants, she develops a sense of purpose that helps her survive the betrayal that unmasks her true identity. Forced to take her proper place in Regency society as the highly-sought heiress to the Ambersley fortune, she must defy the relatives who would make her a pawn in their struggle for power.  

When her distant cousin Derek Vaughan inherits the dukedom, his dubious parentage makes it sacrilege to accept. But touched by the ravaged estate and its destitute servants, he confronts a society that shunned him while he rebuilds Ambersley and protects it from his stepmother's bankrupting clutches. He intends to grant the title to his half-brother when the boy comes of age, but Derek's plans go awry from the moment the gardener's apprentice—once his trusted young friend—is revealed to be not only an heiress of beauty and spirit, but the one woman who may finally capture his heart.

There's Something About Time (Vol. I) by OriginellatheWriter
30 parts Complete Mature
Sixteen-year-old Rose Radcliffe has it all: A nice house; decent spending money; parents who love her enough to buy her anything; an older brother, Luke, who would do anything to protect her; a best friend, Elizabeth, that she can tell anything to; and straight-A's. However, Rose is lacking in several departments: She thinks nothing of her appearance; she is constantly tormented by a trio of girls who will stop at nothing to bring her down; her parents devote more time to their medical practice than to her; her brother joined a fraternity and moved out of the house; her best friend is in love with her older brother and now suddenly has no time for her since they started dating; and her best friends' older brother, David, seems to be exploring the advances of a cheerleader, Amber Seymour, despite saying he's not interested. Not wanting to get all pathetic over a boy, Rose wonders how she should attempt to move on from all that, and wishes that things could be less complicated. However, things go awry when her wish attempts to come true, and Rose quickly backs out of it. However, as time goes on, over a cigarette, Rose then wishes that she could meet her parents before they became workaholics. When she wishes this time, however, her and David are having a fight about her smoking habit, thus propelling them both into 1982, her parents' senior year of high school. Things are not as they seem, for Rose soon discovers she is a dead ringer for her father's cousin (a woman she has never met), and that her father is dating the mother of Amber Seymour, a girl named Roxy, who has as much disdain for her first cousin once removed as Amber has for Rose. Will Rose be able to get her parents together to ensure that she is born? Will Rose and David admit their feelings for one another? Will Rose's first cousin once removed catch on? Find out as Rose's saga begins...

***COMPLETED!!!*** ---- Everyone has secrets... Vincent, Viscount Thorne, perfected his wicked grin and his good-humored mask years ago. He has no time for fools. Or that fickle emotion, love. The ton is full of sheep blindly walking into heartbreak. After all, he had ruined his best friend's little sister for love only to have ripped away from him. Thorne had no choice but to leave her waiting that night in the garden. It was his only choice. So, why does he still regret it so damned much? Especially now, when the lady in question reenters society, scarred but hardly broken. The Duke of Burkeley - that pompous, uptight wanker - declares himself her fiancee, and Thorne finds he will do whatever necessary to keep her out of that prig's clutches. A wager is in order. He'll find her a better bridegroom and then let her go. If only he could. ...but eventually, even the best kept secrets come out... Lady Georgianna is done hiding. So what, the love of her life left her waiting for hours in a darkened garden? So what, the fire chose that evening to entrap her, leaving her face burned? She dares anyone to place her into an imposed exile. Once was enough. With the Duke as her betrothed - the most arrogant and influential of them - Georgie will finally have everything she wanted within her grasp. Well, if Thorne hadn't intervened once more with his ridiculous talk of wagers. Suddenly, Georgie's in a game she can't afford to lose. But, what if she wins? ...Until everything comes crashing down... By season's end, the masquerade ball reveals more than their masked faces. It's a blazing unveiling that trumps even Beau Brummel's exile. The question remains. Will it lead to their ultimate ruination? Or might it just be their salvation? *** UPDATES: Irregular, but I'm going to try for every Friday!
