So glad that I was able to get another one in the books! I'm really glad I was able to participate as a writed yet again! Celebrating Soul Eater like this is one of the best things ever and I'm so glad I get to contribute!
I hope you love this story as much as I do! Here's my submission below!
Lord Solomon “Soul” Evans and the Honorable Maka Albarn wish to free themselves of the weight of society and all the suffocating standards that come with it. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. For Soul, his parents refuse to give him his inheritance unless he gets married within this year's season. That wouldn’t be so hard if socializing didn’t give him massive headaches. Maka wants to get away from her father and his ruined reputation that constantly follows her like a shadow, but the only way to do that in this society is to marry into another household.
They meet at the Diehl family’s annual spring ball and realize they can be the perfect solution to each others’ problems. And so, they begin to court, becoming the talk of the town, with their names being whispered in tea parlors and smoking rooms on the daily. The whispers all disapprove, but that doesn’t matter when this is all fake, right? Of course, you can only go so far with fake courting before it becomes not-so-fake.
A Regency Era/Bridgerton/Jane Austen Inspired Romance, Complete with a lot of tension and yearning.
