WHEN AN UNLIKELY SUITOR.... The Earl of Stokeford is hardly a man of amiable disposition and social graces. He scowls whenever he pleases, becomes rude at any time convenient for him, and worse, has a regrettable tendency to scare ladies out of their wits. Therefore, it is a most astonishing thing indeed when, upon laying eyes on the beautiful Miss Sophie Winscott, he decides to embark on a courtship... Except, of course, the hapless peer knows nothing in the matters of romance...until he receives help from an unlikely quarter. MEETS AN EAGER MATCHMAKER Then enter Miss Winscott's cousin, the vivacious Caroline Davis, who oddly gets along well with the slightly waspish Earl. Determined to help, Caroline endeavours to make a match of the two. But for all her enthusiasm, she can't help but be drawn to the troubled lord... and things start to get a little tangled from there.

A KING CAN RULE ONLY WITH A QUEEN BY HIS SIDE: Family is power. The Original Vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together, always and forever. Now, centuries have passed and the bonds of family are broken. Time, tragedy, and hunger for power have torn The Original Family apart. When Melissa Fiorelli receives a terrifying phone call from her good friend, Hayley Marshall, pleading for help to come to New Orleans to rescue her, Melissa embarks on a mission to save her. There, Melissa realises that all is not what it seems: the 'King', Marcel Gerard, is making all the rules, having chased out the werewolves years ago, banning the witches from using magic and allowing vampires to reveal themselves to humans ― an endless supply of blood. Worse, Melissa discovers that Niklaus Mikaelson is also in town. Melissa, with a witch's aid, gains a 'mask' to hide her true face from Niklaus. But will their past catch up with them? Beneath the glamour of New Orleans runs a terrifying feud between Marcel Gerard and Niklaus Mikaelson, Hayley's little secret, a brewing coven of witches and a war to regain New Orleans in the hands of the Originals. • FIRST ORIGINALS TV SHOW FAN-FICTION ON WATTPAD •

Amelia Watson is a thunderstorm, and her temper a wildfire. Sherlock Holmes is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, his mind a place very few people can understand. Who'd have thought the two would have anything in common? It isn't easy to capture Sherlock Holmes' attention, so what does Amelia have that caught Sherlock's eye from the start? She always believed herself to be nothing but ordinary, but Sherlock Holmes disagrees. The game is on, and Amelia quickly finds herself swept up in the thrill of the chase--something she'd spent the last few years desperately trying to avoid. When an old enemy returns and threatens the one person she loves the most, Amelia finds her loyalties put to the test.

(The Triumvirate Histories Book One) What do you get when you add thirty eighteen-year-old high school seniors and a two week trip to Paris? One sometimes boring, other times not trip of a lifetime. And when you add your roommates sneaking out and your guy best friend sneaking in to your room? A night of movies and junk food until finally passing out at three in the morning. Now, for a more exciting question, what do you get when you add together a drink thrown in your face, getting lost in the museum you're in as you come back from cleaning yourself up, and walking in on heist in progress? That's right. The kidnapping of Emmy Alexander, who just happened to be me. But when you hear about all of these kidnappings on the news, you expect the worst. Not mine, though. Mine included a secret society that the public, after learning about it a few years before, thought was now a modern myth, searching the globe and stealing back the pieces of a puzzle that we didn't know what information it would hold, and running from another secret society that was bound and determine to stop us no matter what. Oh, and you can't forget John Raymond, who just happened to be the one who kidnapped me. It was technically his fault I was in the middle of this, thrust into a world of secrets. I couldn't complain, though. And no matter what, John couldn't say we didn't make a great heisting team. But when that other secret society came into our crazy, messed-up equation, it added even more danger. But then again, I wanted a little adventure in my life, and I sure as heck got it.
