The ladies are here to strike again. This time, it's lady Renditia's turn. When her lady friends suggest that the Earl of Sussex seems interested, she starts devising a plan to get rid of him. Renditia was never good at planning, but she will surely put all her force into this one life-altering event. Her manners, however, might deceive her and coerce her into accepting an offer that she truly wishes she never had.
(This is actually the first story in my series, while Too Pensive to Notice is the third part. The stories are in chronological order, but you don't need to read them in any specific way. It's just more fun if you do)

Maid for the Earl: Book 2 Victorian Romance Novella Series
SAMPLE CHAPTERS ONLY: Published in edited edition on Amazon *Trigger warning: small amount of physical and mental abuse in this otherwise loving and humorous story. After climbing the ranks from her humble beginnings of scullery maid to lady's maid, Nora Sharpe finds herself surrounded by luxury, refinement, and mostly peace. Finally happy and content with her life, Nora is now headed to Bath as a companion to the infamous and eccentric Lady Margaret, the Countess of Blakely.

As much as she loves daydreaming of the life the countess is offering, Nora knows with certainty it can never be. Should Nora unburden herself of the secret she's kept bottled inside for years? And if so, to whom can she trust? Or should she run while she still has the chance?

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.Complete
Desolation Row | A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction
Ophelia Avondale was like any 16 year old girl: she had annoying younger siblings (twins in her case), she had parental estrangement (for thirteen years she had been without her mother), she'd had a stutter ever since she could talk and she had a crush on a boy she'd known since childhood. Draco Malfoy, however, was not like any 16 year old boy: he had a dark secret, darker than even he knew the extent of, so dark that he would eventually drag everyone he cared about into the darkness with him - but it wasn't his fault. For years, nearly 15 years, Ophelia and Draco had been the closest of friends, telling one another everything, but with Draco harbouring a dark secret and a difficult past and Ophelia struggling to contain her feelings, what will happen when they go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their sixth year and the truth finally begins to surface?Complete
The Discreet Charm of Lady Mary (A Regency Novella)
John Osborne has a promising career with the War Office and lacks for nothing. Except, possibly, a wife. Unfortunately, the woman he wants only has eyes for someone else. When a shared friend offers to help him win his love's heart--if only he will assist her on a case--he reluctantly agrees. He can put up with their grating presence if it affords him the chance of the happily ever after he so desperately craves. Lady Mary Kinson is happily counting down the days until she will officially be considered 'on the shelf'. Spinsterhood is looking rather appealing when getting married means giving up everything and trusting your husband to care for you. She'd rather use her dowry for a quiet life on her own. Until her younger sister does the unthinkable and Mary has to enlist the help of a friend to save her family from ruin.Complete
Eventually Yours
A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister. It's a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it's always been Ella Harrington's buffer. Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all. A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn't interested in her anyway. Right?Complete
Bulletproof Heart | A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction | Sequel to Desolation Row
Ophelia Avondale was like any 17 year old girl: she had annoying younger siblings (twins, who she hadn't seen for 6 months, in her case), she had parental estrangement (for fourteen years she had been without her mother and, still fresh in her mind, she had been without her father for almost a month), she'd had a stutter ever since she could talk and she was dating a boy she'd known since childhood. Draco Malfoy, however, was not like any 17 year old boy: he had a dark secret, darker than even he knew the extent of, so dark that it had dragged everyone he cared about into the darkness with him - but it wasn't his fault. For years, nearly 15 years, Ophelia and Draco had been the closest of friends, telling one another everything, and for months, nearly 4 months, Ophelia and Draco had been dating. But when Draco is forced to go on the run and Ophelia has to make an important decision that may throw her life on the line, how will their relationship fair?Complete
