Lady Eliza Turner has no interest in finding herself a wealthy husband, she has her books, her best friend Charlotte, and plenty of opinions on what society expects from her. When her curiosity gets the better of her, and she ends up in a compromising position with the desirable Duke Harrington she must use all her wits and charm to survive the scandal she has created. Jasper Harrington doesn't enjoy attending social occasions especially when opinionated women think that it is acceptable to criticise him, but there is something about Eliza that he can't quite bear to part with. Are this odd couple going to find a happy ever after together or apart?

BOOK 1 OF THE POSSESSIVE SERIES (UNDERGOING EDITING) ALL BOOKS FROM THIS SERIES CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE. The fine line between love and obsession is so thin that it's almost non-existent... At least for Anastacius, the Emperor of Rome. He had fallen for the sound of her laughter before he had even seen her, and she had left his soul yearning for more. As a man that grew up getting everything that he wanted without even having to ask, he was not prepared for the mischievous woman that was Valeria. A woman whom he was willing to give everything up for. This is the story of how he made her his, the story of how he lost her, then found her again, and this is the story of how he tamed his Empress. *** THIS BOOK CONTAINS DARK THEMES, ABUSIVE CONTENT INCLUDING EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, WHICH MAY MAKE SOME READERS UNCOMFORTABLE SO VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK IS IN NO WAY SUPPORTING OR ROMANTICISING THE DARK THEMES USED IN THE BOOK. *** #1 in Wealth (06/12/2021) #1 in Influence (03/01/2022) #1 in RomanEmpire (10/01/2022) #1 in Rome (19/01/2022) #1 in Obsession (26/01/2022)
