Our Summer (The Season Of Us #1) by writtenbyugne

This was written just so I could get motivation to finish the novel I'm writing, but I kind of love this. (English is not my first language) Giselle Holloway, the youngest of the Holloway family, has always played the role of a perfect noble lady. Outgoing and confident, she's been the center of attention ever since she entered society. Yet, beneath the surface, Giselle longs for the kind of love she reads about in books and admires in paintings-a love that sees past her performance and falls for the real her. Samuel Mortimer, the quiet and reserved son of a rival lord, has always been sure of what he wants. His future is clear, and he would rather be an outcast than sacrifice his dreams to satisfy society's expectations. When the first ball of the summer brings them together, an undeniable connection sparks during their very first dance. Samuel sees through Giselle's mask, recognizing someone far more complex than the confident lady of high society. And in Samuel, Giselle finds a rare understanding that draws her in like nothing else. They spend their days by the shimmering lake, picnicking in the forest, and talking until dusk-losing themselves in each other's company. But as summer fades into autumn, Giselle is forced to face a heartbreaking truth: perhaps not all loves, no matter how powerful, are meant to last. Bound by the duties of their families' names, can their love survive when they were always destined to be enemies?

Dangerous Letters by iriswinter

Dear Reader, The following work was found sealed in the library of a castle, belonging to an ancient noble family, in the Champagne region to the east of Paris. The dates of the events contained within are attributed to sometime in the 18th century. It appears that any other record of the Marquis featured within, and the estate that he kept, have since been expunged from historical record. It is as if there was an omertà (conspiracy of silence) which sought to erase him entirely from collective memory - one that might have succeeded if not for the astonishing recovery of these letters. It has been my duty to act as caretaker to this work since I agreed to its restoration. I have found, regrettably, that my colleagues have failed to grasp the momentous importance of these letters and their wider significance. There is, I admit, some question of authenticity that requires consideration. For my part, I have forcible reasons to believe that these letters are genuine. I have submitted the work to a broader audience, however, for precisely this object; I have hope that, by breaking outside the narrow remit of literary academia, I may yet find a willing readership committed to studying these letters as seriously as I have. As the Judge might once have heard it, so the Reader shall hear it now. Unfortunately, I must also include a notice of warning: the letters of Charlotte B--- speak of diabolical horrors and the direst human cruelty. I believe that, were these letters recognised, they would take the place as the first of the modern écritures maudits (damned writings), above de Sade or Corbière. Hence, I recognise that such subject matter is certainly not for everyone. Should you decide to turn to more pleasant reading, I certainly could not blame you. The world can be a sombre and unforgiving place without having to reflect on its grimmest parts. The choice to continue, Reader, is entirely your own. Yours faithfully, Dr. Samuel J. Collins

His Name Is Michael by Nikkiesp01

This is a Discontinued series only because I am in the prospects of rewriting it. This is attempt 5 at writing the book and will live to show the progress in my writing. Update: The first rule of writing is to follow through and edit later. I discontinued this book because it was not well written, it was not planned out, and it was not consistent. Therefore I will continue to write it, for the sake of completion and giving Michael an end (in more ways than one) I will finish this. This book is no way indicative how the official rewrite will occur/end. Thank you, dear reader, for entrusting this lonely writer with your imagination and motivation. Enjoy.

The Discreet Charm of Lady Mary (A Regency Novella) by EmilyMorgans

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.
