"For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it... But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance." - Psalm 55:12-14 ------ The word forgiveness appears more than a hundred times in the Holy Bible, depending on the version one reads.

©bloodlikegrace They were neighbours once. Friends. Almost something more. Now Ruby Clarke is twenty-two, six months sober, and barely holding her life together behind the counter of a shabby café. She thought she'd buried the past along with her addiction-until Matt Buckner, a disgraced American student, stumbles into her world and reopens an old door she swore she'd never touch again. On the other side of that door is Pete Dunham. Teacher by day. Firm leader by night. The boy next door who used to dare her higher, now swaggering, fearless, and every bit as reckless as she remembers. As old loyalties flare and old wounds split open, Ruby is pulled back into a life of bruised knuckles, smoke-choked pubs, and brotherhoods that feel far too much like her own cravings. Pete is the only one who ever saw her clearly, and the one who might destroy her all over again. Their love was never clean-only clear as bruises.

Corinium Television, a once-prestigious production company tucked away in the English countryside, is in crisis. To salvage its public image, Tony Baddingham calls in a specialist: Alexandra Thorne: a glacial redhead, divorced from a powerful politician, a single mother, and a ruthless strategist. Reluctantly, she returns to the Cotswolds, surrounded by rumors, former friends, old enemies, and a workplace unsure whether to fear her or admire her. Amid budget cuts, sabotaged costumes, and crumbling scripts, Alexandra must lead the charge to modernize Corinium... and stop Venturer from claiming victory. What she didn't expect? Declan O'Hara: a rugged, serious, mildly infuriating Irish journalist with an inconvenient history of accidental charm. Between dangerous flirtations, whispered exchanges in crowded rooms, behind-the-scenes cold wars, and nights where there's only one bed... what happens when she begins to suspect she may have chosen the wrong side of the story? Too late to run. And Alexandra Thorne has never been one to back down from a fight. Declan O'Hara x OC

David, brought into the world by Peter Weyland with the simple directive to serve. Created to serve, it instantly seems to be a hardship, a life which will be dictated by another, without a free will of his own, because free will is simply an illusion. But, there is another who is unlucky enough to be trapped under the same roof as Weyland, and it isn't his eldest daughter Meredith; Minerva, the girl in the cluttered room who is not all that she seems to be. Relatively the same, yet also different, both David and Minerva end up finding themselves more alike than they thought as life decides to twist and turn before them.
