disguise duke regency saga

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.All Rights Reserved

One Plus One Equals One by madisonrae19

Being the youngest Princess, the spare part if you will, she was often overlooked by her busy parents and pampered sister. They only good thing about living in the castle was the weekly visits she got from the boy she thought she was in love with - Tyrian. She wanted to be free but she was like a caged bird, made to accept how her life was going to be instead of choosing for herself. But suddenly after her eighteenth birthday her mother mysteriously let her go to America to stay with her wealthy friends Ellison and Laurene Kefalas. Too grateful to argue she packed her bags and never looked back. When she arrives in America she meets the Kefalas heir, the brooding yet gorgeous Cohen. Having suffered a nasty breakup, he views Gwen's appearance as a nothing more then a distraction. She follows him around at school, pretending to be his cousin named Rayne, forever around him and annoying him like a fly. But as time goes on feelings change, and Cohen realises he may just have a second chance at love, and Gwen realises she is in love, just not with the person she originally thought. *This is the story of Gwen and Ellison and Laurene's son Cohen, but it is a standalone book so you don't have to read The Arrangement series to understand* *completed and edited but may still have some mistakes*
