Summary
A single flutter of wings, delicate, almost imperceptible, can stir a storm an ocean away. Such is the poetry of the butterfly effect: the notion that the smallest choices can ripple through time, bending destinies in their silent wake.
What if she had never gone to that costume party?
What if, in a rare moment of boldness, she hadn’t seized spontaneity with both hands and fallen into that captivating stranger?
What if she had never met Eloisee, never uncovered the strange, delicate threads weaving her life into his, long before they’d ever spoken a word?It takes only one decision, one heartbeat of courage or chance, to unmake the life you knew and compose an entirely new one.
Or How a steamy encounter at a costume party leads to a series of secret little dates, sparking a romance neither of them saw coming… ?

Seducing Professor Bridgerton by Fire_Lily89

Summary
Colin loved his job as an English Lit professor. He had worked hard for his successes and even though his romantic life was rather lacking, he could always resort to Lady Whistledown, the most famous erotica writer in the world, to get him off.
In particular, there was a volume about a man that looked just like him with a curvy redhead as the female lead and Colin nearly lost his mind when he saw the guest lecturer who exactly matched that description. He knew that his mother and sisters were great fans of Penelope Featherington and even though the name sounded vaguely familiar, romantic fiction was just not his thing, so he had not put too much thought into it.
How could he when all he could think about was bending her over his desk and ravishing her? However, when he finally had her in his office, Colin was no longer sure who would be seducing whom.

Summary
She made a little humming noise. “I am afraid, Sir Knight, that this is one danger you cannot wave your sword at. There is no escaping my marriage.”
“Oh. That. Marriage is no danger.”
She gave him a look of such sharpness that he felt himself wither. “You are a man. You do not have the first idea of the dangers marriage entails for women.” Her chin trembled though she held it aloft. “And you are a Knight Protector — you are not permitted to marry until after I am wed.”
He opened his mouth to retort — but closed it quickly. She was, he supposed, right. In fact he could not imagine someone less suited to offer counsel on the subject than himself.
“What is it that you fear?” he asked.
She took a deep breath. “Cruelty. Neglect. Loneliness. A life spent in solitude and uselessness, my mind slowly disintegrating through lack of exertion. There is so much world out here, Colin, and I shall only ever see one tiny patch of it. I fear dying after a life only half-lived. I have dreams and ambitions and they shall never, ever be realised. So while I am able, I mean to live.”
OR: the Adventures of Princess Penelope and Sir Colin, her Knight Protector!
