Harper Brown è una giovane venditrice di marmellate fatte in casa, oltre ad essere una timida spogliarellista e un' aspirante pasticciera davvero poco brava con le creme al cioccolato. Convinta fermamente di dover diffondere le sue marmellate in tutto il mondo, un giorno bussa alla porta della famiglia più discussa e temuta del paese: i Moore. Da quel giorno, in un modo o nell'altro, non riuscirà più ad allontanarsi da quella casa... E dal suo dispotico padrone. Procuratevi un dolce da mangiare e mettetevi comodi, voglio presentarvi la famiglia Moore...

To the unknowing eye, the exotic young woman making her way through the English countryside is just another poor girl, hungry and looking for work. But Elena Del Fuego is much more than that. She is the youngest daughter of the King of Spain and she is running from an arranged marriage he forced upon her. Elena learned of the betrothal when she was ten years old, and found out that it was to happen on her eighteenth birthday to a Portuguese Prince twenty years her senior. She had eight years to plan her perfect escape. Her escape takes her to Derbyshire where she finds work as a housemaid at a grand estate called Ascot. While Elena had always planned to keep her head down, she cannot help but notice the handsome heir to the dukedom, David Wilde. But life is not like a fairy tale. The handsome heir cannot marry the maid and turn her into a princess, for Elena is already that. She is a princess with two nations chasing her, two nations determined to keep Elena and David apart and to take Elena home.

Nata dalla schiuma del mare, Afrodite è la dea della bellezza e dell'amore del Pantheon delle divinità greche. Lunghi capelli biondi e un paio di iridi cristalline fanno di lei la più bella delle dee dell'Olimpo e delle creature mortali. Tuttavia, il suo dono si rivelerà ben presto essere una condanna: Efesto, il dio del fuoco gobbo e deforme, si è invaghito di lei e vuole chiederla in moglie. Pur di sfuggire ad un'unione che non desidera e di scappare al triste destino scelto per lei, la giovane dea è costretta a rifugiarsi nel mondo mortale, a nascondersi tra gli umani. Efesto, d'altro canto, non essendo intenzionato a rinunciare a lei, decide di cercarla e di coinvolgere anche suo fratello minore nella ricerca. Pur di aiutarlo, Ares, dio della guerra violenta, si mescola ai comuni mortali per tentare di trovare la giovane dea e riportarla sull'Olimpo. Un piano semplice. Cosa poteva andare storto? Se c'era una cosa che Ares non aveva previsto era sentir battere il suo cuore nello stesso istante in cui avrebbe incrociato lo sguardo di Afrodite. Amore, passione, odio e vendetta saranno i temi che si intrecceranno in questa rivisitazione moderna del mito di Ares e Afrodite. ✶ Iniziata il 19 Aprile 2020/ Terminata il 30 Agosto 2020.

- PUBBLICATO IN EBOOK E CARTACEO - - SU WATTPAD L'ANTEPRIMA GRATUITA - Nata negli anni '90, studentessa universitaria, frequentatrice assidua di umani e più bassa di due metri e quindici: Persefone ha davvero un pessimo curriculum divino. I mortali non la venerano, gli Dei non la invitano ai loro eventi mondani, e a lei tutto sommato andrebbe bene così. O almeno crede. Tutto cambia quando a una conferenza incontra Ade, Dio dei morti e gentiluomo d'altri tempi. Anche il suo è un bagaglio pesante: trecentomila anni in più sull'età, cinquanta centimetri in più sulla statura, almeno venti titoli in più sul nome. Ma è anche l'unico a capire la passione di Persefone per la giurisprudenza, nonché l'unico che sembri a disagio in mezzo agli altri Divini tanto quanto lei. Poteva forse non scattare la scintilla? I due si ritrovano a intrecciare i loro destini e a lavorare insieme per emettere una sentenza controversa, collaborando a un processo ultraterreno nel tribunale degli Inferi. E così, a metà tra ironia e serietà, tra equità e rigore, tra vita e morte, si srotola la rivisitazione (semi)moderna di un mito che non ha mai smesso di venir raccontato. - Copyright 2019 © Giulia Calligola - Quest'opera è protetta da copyright, registrata su Patamu.

Madeline Stone knows where her future is heading-her family has that part all figured out. On her twenty-first birthday she is stealing a few moments back from her own life before relinquishing every part of herself to their plan. Jackson Rider is a southern boy who grew up with a football in hand. He has seen a lot in his time as a quarterback, but when Madeline stumbles her way into his life throwing the most unconventional passes-he can't get the beautiful rookie out of his head. In life as in football, even the most solid plays can be intercepted.

*Completed* "I just want to know why." I say as I turn over, trying to find his figure through the dark of my room. "Why what?" He asks. "Why you're being so nice to me." I say quietly, vulnerability seeping into my words. "How we even became friends." He sighs, "I want to know how." I scrunch my brow. "How what?" His response is soft, the opposite of his sarcastic personality. "How you don't see it." ******* Reagan Holt was about as average as a high school student could be. She didn't play any sports, didn't participate in the popular activities, and wasn't the girl all the boys chased after. All except one boy. He wrote her a letter every week. Each letter described something new for him to love about her. Whether it was how beautiful her laugh was or how his heart swelled with every smile she gave, he never failed to write how he felt. So the two should be together, right? That's the way Reagan wants it, but there's just one problem. He signs his letters "Love, Anonymous." Now add an obnoxious, conceited, sex god into the equation and you get a teenage girl confused on who really loves her. The sweet, tender written anonymous lover, or the cocky, ignorant asshole? -REVIEWS- "You create such wonderful characters and I can't wait to see what happens next!"
