(1919) The War has ended, but for many like Roseanne King, it is not over. On a mission to find some normality in her post-war life, she gets on a train to the place with the cheapest ticket and a job opening: Small Heath, Birmingham. Little does she know this one way trip will turn in to so much more. Little does she know that she is was unbreakable steel heading in to a hot forge. And everything is going to change.

"I like you more when you shut up" "I never shut up" "Exactly" Cassie Owens is your typical witch. Well, not so very typical. In her fifth year she's not only the Captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team, but also by Professor Flitwick's request she participates in more classes than she thought she would. The year is tough, with the news about Sirius Black, the dementors, her OWLs, and what's even worse, is that the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain always appears out of nowhere and their feud is something basically unstoppable. Can you wait until she snaps? I know I can't..... *FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORK LET'S ACT LIKE THEY'RE ALL ADULTS OK?* ("Damn you, Owens, you're hot" "Be quiet, you idiot!")

"What I do to you, is no one's business but mine." He seethes in a low tone, watching me carefully as my teeth grind together in anger. • • • Rogues and Royals never mixed. The royal family was run by nothing but cold hearts and merciless hands. I, Everleigh Holloway, wanted nothing to do with those murderers hiding behind gold platters and shiny jewels. But my fate was inevitable. A rogue, mated to the crowned King Nikolas Castellano II. You could only laugh at it. He was a man with no humanity in his eyes, no life, no feelings or even an ounce of remorse, and I was just another spawn in his game of chess.

Can you damage someone beyond repair? Luca plays his role as the loyal underboss. Violent, lethal, flawless. The lapdog, the starboy. On the surface, he maintains his facade of smirks and casual charm, but beneath the mask, thereʼs a profound darkness, a relentless memory of the girl who shattered his heart years ago. Soft, innocent, naive---sheʼs the last thing he needs... yet the only thing heʼs ever wanted. When trouble drags Wren back to New Yorkʼs underworld, she has no choice but to face the past she never outran. She never stopped yearning for the boy who lit up her world seven years ago, the only person who ever made her feel truly alive. Fate throws them back into the same orbit, but can they survive the wreck of their past?

Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.
