The Odd Life of Cornelius Tessington by stormchaser13

Hi there, I've just been playing around with the idea of Victorian historical fiction so I decided to write a Victorian story! It's about a young woman named Edith Owen and when her mother is out of work she must find a job as a servant in the home of the new lord, Lord Cornelius Tessington. However Tessington is somewhat of an...eccentric. The sort of man who is gossiped about at every part. Mad to many, everyine assumes there's not a thing that can bother this young lord. But can Edith look past the boyish nature and odd lifestyle to find something other than charm and wit deep down inside? Filled with jealousy, determination and the witty words of Cornelius Tessington I hope you enjoy! Please Read and Review!

(COMPLETED) Before the Duke of Wardington, before marriage, and before the games of marrying off his three sons and their friends, there was simply Lord Martin... There's only one sort for a rogue and that's more rogues. So... when Martin and his friends spot London's newest and most beautiful lady, competition is struck. Martin intends to use all his charm on Lady Ellen Kay simply to prove who amongst his group fulfills Tirso de Molina's Don Juan. But there's another lady distracting his mission-an old friend. Before she became the queen of the season... Lady Abigail Irwin has transformed since she was last seen by the beau monde. Blossomed into a beauty, she now finds gentlemen willing to take her off the marriage market.

But in the end, everyone must make a choice and live with the consequences... A prequel to "The Wardington Park" universe, The Lords of Love is the novella that will answer many questions about the past. Who is Levi's mother? Why does Abigail reign supreme during the rule of Prince Regent? Who was Her Grace, the Duchess of Wardington? The woman whose death led Martin into his depression and back into the debauched life? If you're wondered the answers to these question, then get read to curl up in bed, a chair, or even a long flight, and brace yourself for Lord Martin...

Proper Princess by LegendaryPenName

It has been ten years since Amelia was adopted by Lord and Lady Baldwin, and publicly recognized as a member of the Nobility. Now it is time for her to step out into high society and be recognized as something completely different- a debutante. A young woman now eligible for marriage. Amelia has never quite fit into the world of high-society. Having been born into poverty and adopted as a child, it has always seemed to her that she is the black sheep of the bunch. 'Ladylike' has never been a word that she would use to describe herself. She has never viewed herself as the marriageable-type, and has never found herself to care much for the idea of courtships. And yet, in the tangles of 19th Century London, a young lady has no choice. After all, Amelia's elder sister- the perfect daughter, with golden curls and a flawless face- has already secured an Earl to court. The two of them do not care much for each other, but love is not what matters. It is all about status and tradition. But in a world where it is unheard of for a woman to marry for love, Amelia soon discovers that her own happily ever after may not be as impossible as she though. But why is it the Earl's eyes that keep drawing Amelia in? And what if the rules surrounding the strict and formal courtships are rules that Amelia simply does not want to follow? After all, she has never been much of a Lady. ***Stand-alone sequel to Pauper Princess- though suggested, you do not have to read the first book to understand this one***

Lucy tossed her lustrous brown hair over one shoulder and scoffed. "I am your superior now in every way. We may share blood, but that slave woman who birthed us was never a mother to me." But when fate flings Louise into unexpected romance with Sebastian, can their star-crossed love shatter rules denying whites and blacks alike?

"I will give you time, as much as you need, to come to terms with our feelings. But know this: my love for you is not something I can simply turn off or ignore. It has become the very beat of my heart, the air that I breathe."
