COMPLETED Rated PG 19 Mature Content! How can a demon heal an angel's soul? When Sweeney Todd returns to Fleet Street after 14 years of being imprisoned in Australia for a crime he didn't commit, he had only one thing in mind: Revenge. He had it spilled through his own hands, the blood of the very person who ruined his life and led his wife to her suicide, Judge Turpin. But as he cleans all the evidence after he slit the judge's throat and ended its life together with an unknown beggar, the young widow, Nellie Lovett witnesses the crime and he had to decide whether to slit her throat as well and shut her up for life or spare her equally pathetic and miserable life. Little did he know that the beggar he just killed was his wife, and finding out that the widow's story about his wife's death wasn't all true, he decided to kill her too...but as he looked at her lovely eyes starting to lose the life, the memories of her innocense and youth filled his clouded mind. The memories of her red hair and stunning smile shook him back to senses and he let go even before her blood had ran out... Sweeney spared Nellie's life but that night had left her so taumatized and scarred that even a glimpse of his shadow drives her to madness. Will there ever be a chance for their souls to heal and find the love they didn't know they have been looking for? Or will their fate be filled with more crimes until the only escape they have is death?

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

On the run from her ex-lover... Jilted by a no-show husband... And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon... Abigail Thornton doesn't think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man's face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be. Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton - all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite. Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough? *WARNING: This story contains smokin' hot love scenes. It is 'not' a sweet romance.*
