Determined to make up for past mistakes, Nate swears to stop the impending wedding and win back Charlotte's heart at any cost.

But when American hotelier Derek Montgomery comes to revolutionise her little, sleepy English village of Ascot, Rose starts to revisit the idea of falling in love. However, Derek brings with him many secrets and obligations, some that might prohibit him from pursuing Rose -- and push her into the arms of her friend, Michael Cornell, the Marquess of Juniper.

Just a bunch of fictional diary entries I came up with after reading Shakespeare lol ! Very Victorian-style prose and vocabulary A/N: This piece is stylistically inspired by older literary English rather than written as a strict historical or linguistic recreation of any one period. It's a creative exercise focused on voice and mood, not accuracy. Cover: Pinterest

(ONGOING) I have no memories of my mother. When I was little, I'd have dreams about her. But, unfortunately, I cannot remember much of those dreams anymore. My father doesn't talk about her, it's as if, even after all this time, the grief is still consuming him. Lost in his own grief, he locked away every trace of her and refused to speak of her with anyone. Because I had so few memories of her, I used to ask him about the woman we had both lost, but the old pain would simply overwhelm him anew and the last thing I wanted to do is hurt him any further, so I stopped asking. That was until about a year ago, when I was searching the attic for treasure when I found a portrait of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. My Mother. Her snow white skin, her blonde, almost a white platinum hair, her smile that seemed to light up the world around her, and my own blue eyes that reflected back at me. Now her face haunts my dreams. I knew that if my father saw it, he would hide it away, just like how he hides everything else. It feels like everything in my life is a secret. My mother, even my own relatives, this house that I was born in. But what scares me isn't the voices I hear at night when I'm trying to sleep. The faint whispers, calling out to me, calling for me. It's not even the feeling of eyes on me at all times, it's not even that my father doesn't believe me. What scares me is the notes I've started finding. - Aisha Stay tuned for a thrilling tale of Mystery, Vengeance, Friendship, Romance and Tragedy. I'm not a professional writer. This story is lacking a bit of detail. Maybe one day if it does good, I'll pay a co-author to fill in but for now, it's going to stay at a High School level. Lol Please don't steal my cover

Victorian Scotland in 1875 didn't present a woman with many options. Katherine Cameron was too old to marry, too high born to be a housekeeper, too uneducated to be a governess, from too disreputable a family to be a companion and too skinny to be a mistress. The quiet independence she'd created wasn't everything she wanted, but she knew it was the best she was likely to get. Then an unexpected meeting with Andrew Spears, a fascinating American about whom she knows very little, launches both their hearts on an adventure through the lives of servants, industrialists, peers and prostitutes, from the Second City of the Empire to a beautiful hidden Highland glen, along the cutting edge of the wonders of the Victorian Age and finally face to face with her shocking past - and his secret life.
