A SHIP JOURNEY & A TALE OF TREASON After an unfortunate string of accidents delay their voyage to Arecia, General Justine Lan and her Arecian counterpart, Gabriel Stoneworth, are forced to travel together in the week-long journey. Rather unfortunately, the two had detested each other from the moment they'd met. Sometimes they couldn't even remember what had started the avid dislike. Perhaps it was each other's attitudes. Perhaps it was because they clearly were playing at different games here. Or perhaps it just couldn't be explained. But no matter. They just needed to survive their journey to Arecia. Fortunately, they're accompanied by old friends: the Earl and Countess of Farnsworth, Marcus and Cassalyn; and the Viscount and Viscountess of Archsham, Laurence and Ciri. Except... someone seems to be after them. Turns out, the ship they're travelling holds information of treason and tales of betrayal, and someone wants to silence them before they could pass anything on. But surely, with two battle-experienced generals and four spies, nothing could go wrong? (book #3 of 4 in the court of bones series, the third instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)

[ AN NCT VILLAIN AU] [STARRING LEE HAECHAN] The world has collapsed into corruption. And You're the first "Anti-Hero" to exist. Your main mission was to find clues and eventually the truth about the 8 years old disappearance of your precious childhood friend, but while you go around breaking laws made by crooks and deny the help of Heroes, you've managed to catch the attention of a few interesting eyes. One of them being the attention of a very well known thief who swears you make being a villain feel whole again. But at what cost would digging for this truth have? And what if everything you knew before, wasn't at all like what you made it out to be?

"I want to defile you, destroy you, corrupt you in the most sinfully beautiful way. Break you until you're completely mine." "And then?" "Then I'll piece you back together, of course." He took another step in her direction, closing the distance between them. "Love can be holy." He said but the look in his eyes promised anything but. "It can be kind and gentle. It can be the flutter inside your chest when you feel someone touch you, the blush staining your cheeks when someone brushes his knuckles over them." To prove his point further, he took his knuckles and brushed them over her sharp jawline, all the way to her lightly dusted cheeks and sharp cheekbones. "However, love can also be vile. Dark and all-consuming. The kind of love that makes you want to fall to your knees and let it destroy you." He let his palm rest on her soft skin and felt the warmth she provided so carelessly travel to him. "That's all I can offer you." Nathaniel Russ is a man devoid of passion. Cold, stern, a tragedy with skin. A wreckage just seconds before the crash. A writer. He spends countless hours teaching philosophy at the local university, waiting for something to make the words crawl out of him with the same vigorous appetite they once did. And he finds it, at the most unexpected moment. Guinevere Westbrook is a woman haunted by the sins of her past. And she just happens to be the muse he had been waiting for, even though she refuses to accept it. So, he orchestrates a game meant for two. A game. That's all it was. Until it wasn't.

"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow. "Because you'll be the one to kill me first." // Aven Brooks is hired to take pictures for the world-renown punk rock band known today as Duplicity; hoping the experience gets her into her most elite-dreamed university. However, when her lenses accidentally capture more than just cheeky sound checks and performances, she comes to a horrifying discovery that Duplicity is anything but a band. Appalled and frightened, she's trapped. *HIGHEST RANKINGS* #1 IN HARRYSTYLES #1 IN ONEDIRECTION ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO @happydays1d NOT ALLOWING TRANSLATIONS!

Dakota Monroe no es una chica mala, no es una nerd, no es la chismosa, no es la zorra y no es la maliciosa. Entonces ¿Quién es Dakota? Respuesta fácil. Dakota es la chica universitaria buscando solución al problema en el que se ha metido su hermana mayor ¡Y vaya lío! Es un lío tan grande que debe recurrir a quien las chicas arrojan bragas, a quien todos estrechan la mano, él que parece todo saberlo y a quien a veces quisiera golpear: Jagger Castleraigh. Se supone que los chicos que lucen como chicos malos, solo deberían ser eso: chicos malos. Pero Jagger es una excepción. Jagger odia las motocicletas, pero Jagger fuma. Jagger nunca lleva una libreta a clases, pero Jagger es el mejor de su clase. Jagger tiene rollos de una noche, pero Jagger trata a las chicas como princesas. Y a Jagger no le gustan las chicas como ella, pero Jagger quiere besarla, tocarla y quizás un poco más. A veces quiere golpearlo y otras veces quiere besarlo tan fuerte que su corazón podría llorar para aferrarse al de Jagger. Nada es fácil, no todos son buenos, no siempre se puede confiar. ¿Conclusión de la pregunta? Dakota es la chica que pasa de querer salvar a su hermana a querer descifrar el enigma que resulta Jagger Castleraigh. Ella solo tiene una palabra para definir a Jagger: contradicciones. ¡Contradicciones está disponible en librerías! Puedes comprarlo accediendo al link dentro de la historia.
