Phoebe has been encumbered with a task: finding a husband.

Of course, it was a rather common expectation for a young woman of the early 1800s. However, Phoebe's husband-to-be had additional requirements. First, the man should be willing to give his name to a woman who decorated her conversations with stutters. Secondly,  the husband-to-be would have to sacrifice his previous pursuits and instead continue her father's plantation. Thirdly, the said-husband must be of liberal-mind and use the plantation as a ruse to free slaves.

Surprisingly, this task may not be as herculean to a visiting English-man.All Rights Reserved

His Lily of The Valley by ladyamandak

When life suddenly changes from bad to worse the only thing to do is move forward in hopes that you will stumble upon better things. This is what Lily tells her children when their lives are turned upside down. Leaving behind a life of turmoil and abuse they journey west. What Lily finds is a community who take in her and her children as if they always belonged. What she doesn't expect is the man that shows up one day and changes her life all over again. Will he be a good man or will he bring back her worst nightmares? I have been slowly updating when I can. So the story has changed here and there. I feel it still needs somethings, but I don't want to make too many changes to the chapters I have already published without some feed back.

She wasn't sure if she was trying to move away from the touch or closer to his body. She knew this was wrong and she should run away, but his touch was addictive.

The Royal Deal by RoshniSharma476

What she didn't know was, he only agreed to a deal thinking she had a say. He didn't want a marriage yet agreed to one for the benefit and name of his family. He wasn't a man to mess with but she took her chance and he let her. And it might be her biggest mistake. Taking her chances with him. He got obsessed with everything about her. Her fragrance. Her voice. Her very presence. She came into his life with all the intentions to leave. Now the question is, would he really let her go? Would she want to stay?
