❗️Mature audiences❗️ *can be read standalone* (UNEDITED) THESE ARE NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE ON PURPOSE A steamy, fantasy historical fiction full of intrigue and hot romance. Rosemary (Rose) Mariner was not born to a wealthy family, but she made her own way in life despite the struggles. Growing up in a cottage on the estate of a wealthy duke, she learnt from a young age that her friendship with the Duke's son was doomed to end. When her father passed away, she is left without a home or funding, turning to the only money a young pretty girl could make. Working the bar at a house of ill repute. Keeping herself away from the clubs members was difficult, but what proved the larger challenge was keeping her eyes off the new security man whose husky voice and intimidating stature made her curiously drawn in. Quinn William Norbury, the 7th Duke of Aylesbury was not one to sit still and mingle with the ton he so detested. Instead of attending balls, Quinn spent his spare time undertaking missions in service to the Crown. His latest quest? To moonlight as a security guard for in an exclusive gentlemans club, infamous for its sordid services and even more underhanded clientel. Someone is plotting to kill an Earl and where best to look for shady characters but at a shady club? The only spanner in the plan is that instead of keeping his eyes on the members, Quinn finds he can't keep his eyes, or his mind off the stunning and fiery barmaid he remembered from childhood. Only, Quinn isn't himself and Rose doesn't recognise him.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin
