Summary
"I know I don't possess any allure for you." Her voice came out fragile, but firm. "I'm not the diamond of the first water—my goodness, this is my sixth season! I don't have a respectable lineage, and I was self-taught because we couldn't afford tutors for anything other than embroidery. I don't even have a dowry, and Your Grace must imagine why." She took a deep breath, her chin wavering. "And I know I'm not the kind of beauty you seek... or what you might want to have me as a duchess. But if you accept my hand out of mercy for my misery, I promise to be the best duchess, and the best wife, I can be for you."

Ms. Chase, the daughter of a bankrupt barons, was quite resigned to her five seasons of failure, which hadn't resulted in even a single flirtation, much less an advantageous marriage that would save her family.
That is, at least, until the arrival of the Duke of Thesford, Perseus, the one responsible for ruining her life and of her family for so many years, resulting in the situation she found herself in for so many social seasons.

A Percabeth fanfic in the "enemies to lovers" style from the Regency era I convinced myself that everyone wanted.

Summary
Siobhan Willowood was born with wind in her veins and a debt carved into her name. Promised before birth to the Vanserra family as payment for an ancient bargain, she’s spent her thirty-eight years training to vanish—quiet, obedient. But when her friends break her out on the night of Calanmai, Siobhan seizes the only breath of freedom she's ever been given and goes looking for a stranger who can match her hunger.
Ariston Vanserra, the second son, prince and general of Autumn. Stoic. Silent. Bound to duty—but not immune to temptation. One look at her and he begins to burn. But when he learns who she truly is—the promised of her chained destiny—he’s left with a terrible choice: defy his father or lose the only woman who has ever made him want more.
This is a story of secrets and silk, of stolen nights and sharp-edged longing. A tale of masks and firelight, and a girl who ran from servitude into the arms of the male she was sworn to avoid.
A Cinderella retelling set in the ACOTAR world. A prequel in the Unforged Hearts series.

Summary
“Do it.” Jude says with finality.
A terrible premonition washes over her body when the words leave her lips. Now that her stance is birthed into the world, naked in front of the Living Council, it sours like overripe fruit. She wishes she could eat her words. She would swallow them whole, and they could disappear back inside her forever.
Cardan is a statue.“You wish me to marry Nicasia?” He asks so quietly it’s little more than a whisper. “You wish me to marry her and make a babe?”
“No,” Jude says hollowly. “I wish you to make an heir.”
