However, a few months after he gets there, he receives a letter from his uncle's solicitors stating that he must marry in 30 days in order to keep the title. If not, it will be taken away from the family and Parliament may give it to whomever they please.

Emma Sheridan, an heiress, is in dire need of money. Her family has just lost everything because of her father's gambling debts, and he will be sent to debtor's prison if the debts aren't paid off in the next 30 days.

Any memory before the age of ten was blank in her head, with no recollection of how she had ended up under the charge of a gang of street rats as a child. Her life was meant to be mundane, as long as she remained under her secret identity. Until she tried to steal from the wrong pockets that is. --- Fabian Rothesay, the new Duke of Avondale, had spent the last 2 years rebuilding the coffers of his father, in order to ensure that the Avondale estate was not about to crumble around their feet. Taking over his father's spot as the Duke had not been an easy task, but in his doing so for the past 2 years, he has raised as one of the most eligible bachelors of the ton. What the ton doesn't know is that Fabian is biting to return to his previous life. What people believed to be a holiday around the continent, was actually Fabian's cover as he worked as an Agent of the Crown. His new status as a Duke however, did not make him want to step down as an Agent just yet, especially with a recent case that specifically embroils a series of planned heists within the ton. --- As the two are thrown together in a series of circumstances that was mostly chance, sometimes fate, and with a dash of secrecy, how would the turmoil change their lives?

The Cinderella Bride (NaNoWriMo14) by WrittenInMyHeart

{NaNoWriMo14} THIS IS UNEDITED, RUSHED AND REALLY REALLY BAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK CAUSE THIS ISNT MY BEST WORK. Ava Montgomery works at Bloomsbury Cafe in Manhattan. Carter Richmond is the heir to Richmond Corp one of the biggest companies in the country. Now, why would two very different people from very different backgrounds even breathe the same air? Well, you see, George Montgomery, Ava's father had recently passed and with his passing, he has left a two point five million dollar debt to the only daughter willing enough to pay it. Carter had just recently earned himself an ultimatum. A chance meeting with Carter an old childhood friend of hers will help them get what they want. Carter offers to remove Ava's entire debt and make her life easier if she agrees to marry him but on one condition. She must not fall in love with him. It seems reasonable since Carter is not the kind of guy Ava would be interested in but opposites do attract. And an ordinary girl thrown in a world full of glitz and glamour is definitely not a perfect mix.
