In Regency-era England, Lottie disguises herself as her reclusive brother to enter Parliament, only to find a rival in the infuriatingly clever, proper, and attractive Duke of Warwick. Their battle of wits sparks an undeniable attraction--but when the duke grows suspicious, Lottie risks not only exposure of her secret identity but the ruination of her reputation and everything she's worked so hard for. *** In London, 1806, Miss Charlotte (Lottie) Langley is a young woman with ambition far beyond what society allows. Women are expected to embroider, pour tea, marry well, and leave politics to the men. Determined to have a say in her country's future, Lottie assumes the identity of her reclusive brother and infiltrates the all-male world of Parliament. But politics proves far more dangerous when she catches the attention and suspicion of the maddening Duke of Warwick. What begins as a battle of ideologies and wits soon turns into something far more complicated: a mutual fascination and attraction that neither of them can ignore. The duke seems determined to uncover the secret identity that Lottie has worked so hard to conceal. However, even her disguise may not protect her from the frustratingly observant duke who could ruin everything... or from falling for him.

The Onslaught Saga introduced one of the most powerful ideas in X-Men history and lost it to scale, spectacle, and editorial mandate. This reimagining restores the original concept of the 1990's Marvel event, rebuilding the story as a single, cohesive narrative centered on the psionic entity Xavier and Magneto created and could not control. Born from the combined, suppressed negative emotions of Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto, Onslaught is a powerful sentient psionic entity. Pushed to his breaking point, the entity was created when Xavier used his telepathic powers to shut down Magneto's mind after he ripped the Adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton. Magneto's anger, grief, and vengeance-fueled psyche merged with the dark, repressed frustrations Xavier had held for years, resulting in a new, malevolent personality growing within Xavier's mind. Instead of the colossal, armor-clad machismo warlord of the original saga, this fanfiction presents Onslaught as a young girl who adopts the name "Sara" Onslaught, an identity based on the memory of Jean Grey's deceased sister.

Credit goes to J.K Rowling for making some of these amazing characters and places in this story. Aparna and Aarnav were best friends since birth, literally. They got separated at the ages of 6 and 7 and coincidentally, six years later, they met at their new secondary school, Hogwarts. They soon grew closer than they were before. But, what they and their friendship group didn't know, was what would be coming up for them this coming year, now that both Potters were in Hogwarts... Many many many thanks to @amelia_sophia1 who designed my cover 💞. (Would recommend her highly- she's really kind). (Sorry the first few chapters are so cheesy😬!)

Seraphina Hayes always believed she would recognize betrayal if it ever came near her marriage. She imagined it loud. Obvious. Unforgivable. She never imagined it would look like this. Like her husband smiling at another woman the way he used to smile at her. Like late-night messages that weren't inappropriate - just intimate. Like emotional comfort slowly being outsourced. And she definitely never imagined standing outside a glass office in downtown Los Angeles... Watching her husband hesitate before pulling away from another woman's lips. The kiss wasn't hungry. It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable. Sequel of the novel tilted 'Unfaithful Promise' is out. Do read

At our gender reveal, my husband joked about getting my sister pregnant with a boy. Everybody thought that was hilarious. Except me.

My fiance has a girl best friend. I hate her and she hates me and she's hated me from the start. My hate grew over time. After some particularly vile things she said, I uninvited her to our wedding. Then Gibson said the wedding wouldn't be happening if she wasn't invited. So I handed him his rings back.

An eleven-year-old Mimi can see demons. She finds one feeding on a mafia boss, unconscious and bleeding out against her favorite breakfast dumpster. When she saves his life, he rewards her by forcibly taking her from the streets to adopt her. But Mimi doesn't want a dad. She just wants to go back to her parking garage, away from people and the demons that feed on them, which her new 'home' just happens to be full of. She's also not stupid enough to believe a guy who is practically a demon himself could make good parenting material, especially for an unwanted freak like her. And whatever happened to her childhood friend, the monster under her bed? Rated M for violence, some language, mentions of torture, killing people, uh, mature subjects...am I missing anything? The point is, it's not M for porn or inappropriate relationships. Just dark stuff.
