Hawthorne Bsd

A Love Beyond The Horizon

In the glittering world of 19th-century high society, where marriage is a strategic affair and personal desires are secondary to duty, Eleanor Hawthorne stands at the precipice of her future. Beautiful, poised, and well-bred, she is the epitome of a noblewoman, bound by the expectations of her family and society to marry well. Her every step is carefully calculated, her every decision weighed against the demands of propriety. But beneath her composed exterior, Eleanor feels trapped by a life that values social standing over personal happiness. At a grand winter ball, as Eleanor dances with suitor after suitor, her world shifts when she shares an unexpected, electric waltz with Jonathan Ashford, a mysterious and charismatic man with a past that doesn't fit the mold of the elite around her. Jonathan, a man who has seen the world beyond the gilded cages of aristocracy, awakens something in Eleanor that she has long buried: a longing for freedom, passion, and the possibility of a life that is her own. As the ball unfolds, Eleanor is forced to confront the reality of her situation—her well-meaning but controlling Aunt Agatha, who pressures her to marry for social standing; the wealthy but emotionally distant Lord Hargrave, who sees her as a perfect match in name, if not in heart; and the expectations of a society that demands conformity. Yet, it is Jonathan’s presence—his quiet defiance of societal norms and his deep connection to Eleanor—that challenges her to reconsider the life that has been laid out for her. Torn between her duty to her family and the growing feelings for Jonathan, Eleanor embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She must navigate the treacherous waters of love, duty, and desire while deciding what kind of woman, and what kind of life, she truly wants. In The Winter Waltz, the dance of love is more than a step to be mastered—it is a risk, a choice, and a chance to break free from a world that demands perfection in exchange for happiness.

THE Knight’s Hidden Princess

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne. Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows. Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye. Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair? One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

The Adventure of Lost Crown

What if a Queen can rule France? Queen Victorique De Blois is the greatest Queen of France because of her highly intellect and strategical method she is respected and highly adored by her people.The Queen suddenly throws a party after coming back from a diplomatic subject for 2 years and found dead in her bed early in the morning. The tragic event that happen to their Queen brought sorrow to her people but the most shocking part is the Queens crown have been missing just the same time she is killed? The mystery of the lost crown remains unsolved. In the present time, a 17-year-old teenage girl Lucy Maud Montgomery and her best friend Nathaniel Hawthorne will unfold the mystery behind the mysterious death of the queen and the missing crown. Will they unfold the mystery that happened hundred years ago? Discovering the truth behind the historical event the right thing to do? Or is it better to stay the things they believe forever? This my original work inspired from a bit in 2007 film Nancy Drew, in part when I describe that she throw a party after suddenly disappearing and found dead the next day. I associate it with the French Revolution time in late 1700 to early 1800. France doesn't have a Queen to rule them only England. But I choose to portray a Queen, after all I'm not good in choosing a male lead. I mean I don't hold much of their perspective. I really wanted to add some illustration. I plan to draw a blueprint of the castle but I have to study it first before adding some hidden passage. But it will take some time to do so and I'm super lazy. This is my second time writing a novel but I will try my best to improve and the update will also be minimal because I'm not a person who just write and do not reread her work . I reread my work for like 20 times but sometime often ignore the problem and also I'm still in University and my beloved companion, Calculus is making me busy. Forgive me if I have some grammatical errors, spelling, punctuation and the likes. After all English is not my first language but I will cope up with my lack and seek for improvement.
