Eleanor Weston swore she would never return to Milton. The smoky air, the endless hum of machinery, and the memories of a past she wished to forget-it was all behind her. But when the Hales decide to move north, she refuses to let Mrs. Hale arrive in a place unfit for her delicate health. Determined and independent, Eleanor journeys to Milton alone, a month ahead of them, to prepare their new home. What she doesn't expect is John Thornton. At Mr. Hale's request, the stern and formidable mill master offers his reluctant assistance, drawn to the young woman who seems out of place yet utterly at home in his city. Her quiet strength fascinates him, her defiance challenges him, and her kindness unsettles him in ways he cannot explain. But Eleanor has secrets of her own-secrets that could change everything. Because John Thornton's landlord, the man he respects, the man whose name holds weight in Milton... is the father she abandoned long ago. When the truth comes to light, will pride and past wounds drive them apart? Or will love find a way through the smoke and shadows of Milton?

Reputations, like the delicate petals of a Helstone rose, are fragile things indeed... Upon discovering Margaret in the arms of an unknown man, John intervenes. How will their story end when reputations are questioned? **This is a North and South fanfiction.

"Don't flatter yourself," I took a step back, "it's just that you're the first person I think the word 'ugly' stands for." "Deny all you want, sweetheart." He inched closer and leaned into my ear, "but your face says it all." ___________________ Are you aware of how people lived in the 1800s? Well, I for one, do not.

Summary: ***this story is being revised on AO3 A story hidden in the past, no one really knows how Arthur and Eliza met. Despite its tragic ending, it had a beginning. One of love, hope, and an unknown future. Eliza Bloom was young and alone, recently made an orphan, and was merely trying to get by. Keeping any hopes and dreams that she once had tucked away, she worked long days as a waitress in the blossoming town's only restaurant in the wild, untamed West. Not being able to enjoy any of the pleasures a young woman was afforded, she had little time to socialize or see what the world had to offer. However, when a caravan of gold prospectors came into the town, she meets a tall, handsome stranger. She does not have any inclination as to how such an event, which was commonplace at her place of work, would change her life...and his.

In the days after Ellini left, Jack devoted himself wholeheartedly to the pursuit of oblivion... In 1876, Jack Cade has won a revolution, but lost his girlfriend. In 1881, he has the girlfriend back, but can't remember anything about how he lost her or what she was to him. Still, he knows she is determined to die on the fourth of July - that it has been predicted in quite a reliable book of prophecies - and that, for the sake of his sanity, he has to prevent it. That means pitting himself against living gargoyles, Oxford dons, man-hating sorceresses and - not least - Ellini's own despair.

Francesca Visconti is a beautiful girl who's able to charm those with her quick wit and unseen intelligence hidden between the layers of thick unruly red hair.

In the easiest terms to explain, he's a plain bastard. But everything changes when the two are brought together through the classic means of an arranged marriage. Though with a rake like Giovanni, will Francesca ever feel happiness? Even when he's touching another woman a few rooms next door?
