A chance encounter with the man who rescued her gives her another chance at happiness, but does she have the will to take it?

When Rowena, a young Englishwoman, finds herself torn from a life of privilege and thrust into slavery, her world is upended. Gifted to the enigmatic Mr. Sutton—an Englishman grappling with the immorality of owning another human being—Rowena must navigate a perilous new existence, one shaped by shifting power, conflicted loyalties, and buried secrets.

As she battles for freedom, Rowena becomes entangled with Christophe, whose affection for her threatens to upend both their lives. But in a world bound by rigid class and gender expectations, can love outside the rules survive? And can a woman who has been silenced reclaim her voice?

Perfect for readers of Dinah Jefferies, Kate Furnivall, and Gill Paul.

When the spotlight dims, the real battles begin.

For Tristen Levisay, guitarist of The Seethers, life is finally coming together. The band is on the brink of stardom, and soon he'll be a rock star instead of the poor, small-town boy from Kentucky. But when his twin brother Talon, the band's frontman, abruptly leaves to join another band, Tristen's life quickly falls apart.

Forced to start again, Tristen returns home where he discovers his former addict mother is on the verge of losing her house. To save her, and himself, he returns to his old life of underground boxing. Just a few fights to save some money, and then he's out. But returning home inevitably means revisiting old family secrets and memories. Soon Tristen finds himself fighting both in and out of the ring to salvage his family and reclaim his future.

They thought marriage would be easy, but marriage is never convenient.

\"The will says the house is for you, your wife and children, Philip.' But you have no wife. Therefore, the house is mine.\"

It's 1836, England. At only 33, Philip Daucer planned to explore the world, then settle down.. But with his brother threatening his inheritance, Phillip is backed into a corner. Determined to save what he inherited—and beat his brother at his own game—Phillip sets out to find a wife.

In faraway Spain, Carmen Valupa is reeling from a failed relationship. Enter Phillip, a man who makes her heart soar. Tall, handsome and very English, he offers marriage and adventure—life in another country. Sadly, Philip is proposing they marry for convenience—he will offer her the security of marriage, if she helps him keep his house, Carmen accepts his terms.

But as they rush to solve their immediate problems, Phillip and Carmen open themselves to clashes over culture and religion. Putting love secondary to his inheritance, Phillip asks too much of Carmen. Disappointed, she considers returning to Spain.

When threatened with stronger adversaries than expected, Philip and Carmen must change course before one house and one secret add up to potential disaster. When their marriage becomes anything but convenient, can they let love win?

Follow Phillip and Carmen's journey as Kat Caldwell marries historical romance, cultural clashes, in this friends-to-lovers page turner that will have you up all night.

Can love rewrite her story?

When Rowena, a young Englishwoman, finds herself torn from a life of privilege and thrust into slavery, her world is upended. Gifted one day to Mr. Sutton—an Englishman grappling with the immorality of owning another human being—Rowena takes it as an opportunity to get home.

Christophe plans to rid himself of the woman as soon as he can, but as they travel back to England, Christophe finds his heart more and more entangled with her. It's an affection that threatens to upend his life in English society, but one he can't shake. When she disappears, his heart is in tatters.

Once in London, where society is bound by rigid class and gender expectations, Rowena becomes the noblewoman she always was. But a chance encounter with Christophe pushes her to question if a love outside the rules of society can survive.

They thought marriage would be easy, but marriage is never convenient.

\"The will says the house is â€˜for you, your wife and children, Philip.' But you have no wife. Therefore, the house is mine.\"

It's 1836, England. At only 33, Philip Daucer planned to explore the world, then settle down. But with his brother threatening his inheritance, Phillip is backed into a corner. Determined to save what he inherited—and beat his brother at his own game—Phillip sets out to find a wife.

In faraway Spain, Carmen SuÃ¡rez is reeling from a failed relationship. Enter Phillip, a man who makes her heart soar. Tall, handsome and very English, he offers marriage and adventure—life in another country. To help them both, Philip proposes they marry for convenience—he will offer her the security of marriage, if she helps him keep his house, Carmen accepts his terms.

When threatened with stronger adversaries than expected, Philip and Carmen must change course before one house and one secret add up to potential disaster.

When their marriage becomes anything but convenient, can they let love win?

Follow Phillip and Carmen's journey as Kat Caldwell marries historical romance, cultural clashes, in this friends-to-lovers page turner that will have you up all night.

When the spotlight dims, the real battles begin.

Forced to start again, Tristen returns home where he discovers his former addict mother is on the verge of losing her house. To save her, and himself, he returns to his old life of underground boxing. Just a few fights to save some money, and then he’s out. But returning home inevitably means revisiting old family secrets and memories. Soon Tristen finds himself fighting both in and out of the ring to salvage his family and reclaim his future.

Will he find the strength to forge a new path, or will the weight of his brother's betrayal knock him down for good?

\n

Using a dead girl’s name and secretly dating a professor are just some of the things Ana Lopez is willing to do to graduate college and build some sort of future for herself. You name it, she’ll do it, if it gets her closer to a better life and helps her escape her violent past.

After crawling out of an abusive relationship, Ana is focused on nothing other than moving out of her brother’s house and into her own future. But Ana doesn’t realise that as she tries to outrun her past, she’s leaving her family behind and her identity behind. Running into Marlon, a friend from high school, was not in Ana’s plans at all. Tall, dark and handsome, he had been her crush in high school, but nothing had ever come of it. Although knowing him from high school poses a risk to exposing her new identity, Ana can’t seem to help herself. And the more she’s around him, the more Ana realizes a flaw in her carefully laid plans: that she just might want more than a simple degree and a life of dull comfort with a man she doesn’t love.

The problem is, she isn’t quite sure how to handle breaking up with an increasingly possessive Daniel, her professor. Little does Ana know that everything she’s worked for the past few years, everything she’s convinced she deserves, is about to come crashing down as the professor’s jealous wife comes back, a family crisis rears up and Ana loses someone she dearly loves.

Can love mend what life has broken?

In small town Kentucky, Scarlett has spent the last five years caring for her nephew, Ben, while trying to grow her baking business. Life has never been easy for Scarlett, but it takes a complicated turn when she loses her biggest client and gets behind on her rent. And to make things worse, Scarlett’s sister goes missing at the same time Ben's estranged father suddenly demands custody, leaving Scarlett to find a way to keep Ben.

As she tries to keep her life from falling apart, Scarlett crosses paths with Tristen, a musician struggling to revive his career while embroiled in a paternity suit with a girlfriend he hasn’t seen in years. Sparks fly immediately, but Tristen is planning to leave town and needs to focus on his career. It wouldn’t be fair to get involved with Scarlett. And yet, he can’t stop thinking about her…

Will Scarlett and Tristen find the strength to let love in?

Can her marriage live up to the meringue test?

This short story was part of a short story challenge. The story had to be less than 500 words long, be a romance and include the action of sweating and the waxed paper as the object. When I got it back, I changed it a bit. I think it’s better a little longer.

And I had 48 hours to write it.

This is what I came up with.
