The Moon Goddess destined them to be lovers, but their kings forced them to become enemies. They met one stormy night when all his senses were nullified by poison and she couldn't see him clearly in the darkness through the pouring rain. But she knew exactly what he was. He was a warrior for his king and she used to be a general for hers. With both kingdoms fiercely at war, she knew that if they were to ever meet again, it would be on the battlefield. The Moon Goddess must have been bored when she created this joke of a match because there was no way for them to be together. An utterly unattainable, ill-fated match.

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites. But what happens when Angela gets thrown into Adriano's dangerous lifestyle? Can Adriano protect her from the evils he faces every day?

"Forgive me God for I have sinned. I allowed a Northman's lip to touch my own, to touch me neck and travel the length of the sensitive skin. My blood writhers, yearning for his touch. A quenching urge for desire and O'Lord, my eager flesh burns with raging fire." When the powerful Jarl, a ruthless and merciless Viking, takes a sudden interest in Faylin, a nun he captured on a raid, she vows not to let his wiles distract her from what is truly important - her faith. His very presence is what fuels the fire within her, allowing the hatred to fester. He destroyed her world and she watched it burn to the ground, crumbling and descending, shattering into pieces of hopelessness right before her eyes. Though what happens when she starts to realize that beneath the Northman's toughened shield lays a forbearing soul, lost within the darkness and the shadows of his own façade? Stricken by this realization, the possibility of humanity under such a barbaric character, Faylin finds herself torn between her fears of eternal damnation and desire, struggling to keep her sanity as she dances on that very thin line between love and hate.

[ I'M STILL EDITING AND REWRITING. ALL CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN ] Rikkard Ambrose did not expect Lillian Linton to turn to his family once he disappears. And now that Rikkard's back, it's high time that he fix the mistake she made... and deal with Johann, his oh-so-beloved cousin. And now, Johann is creeping into Rikkard's life and is dangerously close to toppling the empire he built from dust. Lilly Linton did not want to be the one to inform her boss' family that he was supposedly dead and lost at sea. She knew that things could go awry, but the charming Johann Ambrose was not part of her back-up plan Z. His efforts to court her and Rikkard's sudden return to Battlewood is just driving her insane. Lily wasn't sure this was part of the work requirements. Empire House is back in business. _____________________________ AU-ish where everything does not go to plan starting the end of the first book. Definitely an AU where Rikkard and Lilly deal with Battlewood far sooner than Sir Rob paced it, honestly.
