THE NANNY by E.L. Beth Bella Rydges is a young, wild spirit with no qualifications and even less patience for rules. When she lands a nanny job in the English countryside, it's more out of desperation than desire. She's never changed a diaper in her life, let alone cared for children in a mansion run like a military base. Enter Caine Braxter-ruthless, wealthy, and a control-obsessed widower who expects order, obedience, and a nanny who knows her place. Bella is none of that. Her sass, defiance, and unfiltered mouth both infuriate and intrigue him. Caine doesn't believe Bella belongs in his world, but her fire is addictive. And what starts as a clash of wills quickly spirals into something darker, deeper, and far more dangerous. He wants to mold her, tame her, own her-mind, body, and soul. Bella thinks she can walk away. But Caine has the money, the power, and the obsession to ensure she never does. In a house built on rules, chaos is about to become the new order. The Nanny is a twisted, seductive tale of dominance, defiance, and the price of surrender. Warning: This is an adults only book, it contains material of sex and submission. it is recommended for a mature audience 18 years and over.

COMPLETE #1 in Fantasy #1 in Adventure #1 in Historical Fiction ---------- Sometimes, believing helps us to see truth. Other times, we need a little evidence to believe. But there is truth behind everything; every false manoeuvre, ever little lie...a small piece of truth is hidden. Just like truth is wound into legends too. Growing up best friend to the future King, Arabelle never really thought her life could go wrong. Whenever she wanted something, or needed something, she would get it. Then she lost her father at a young age and Arabelle was forced into a world of dresses, balls, and lies.

When Arabelle gets curious and sneaks into a forbidden area of the castle, she discovers a deadly secret: her bloodline is sacred, dating back to a legend surrounded by the one thing she knows not to be true. Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew. After making some unlikely allies, Arabelle sets off on a journey to find the legend of the last dragon egg. Fate has something big in store for her; will she be able to withstand the pressure of it all?There is one thing Arabelle needs to learn to survive this new place...
