A collection of romantic poems based on Poldark, a historical fiction series written by Winston Graham. It is set in 18th century Cornwall, England. It was originally adapted for television by BBC in the 1970s, and aired a new version on BBC & PBS in 2015-2019. I was swept away by Poldark's atmosphere, characters & romance - hence the inspiration for these poems. I do hope you enjoy them! Thank you for reading. *Cover Design by @Azura_Zephyr I also recorded two of the songs from the series.

"Open your legs Lina," he said as he tried to pry them open. I shook my head, trying my best to control my nerves. I was confident seconds ago trying to get into his pants and now here I was shaking like a leaf. "Open your legs and let me taste you." My heart was hammering away, and I was sweating like crazy. I exhaled before slowly opening my legs. My hands gripped the sheets when his eyes went between, them taking everything in. "Beautiful," was all he said as he pulled me down and rested his chin on my belly. ______________________________________ Nalina (Lina) Romirez wasn't your typical nineteen-year-old. She had a secret that only those closest to her knew: her right hand was missing. Her parents had always known life would be different when their only daughter was born different. By the time she was eight, Lina had already mastered the use of a technologically advanced prosthetic hand. It was so well-crafted that no one could tell it was artificial unless they looked closely. Brairwood Haven was home to both humans and werewolves. The Pack lived deep in the woods, and stepping foot on their territory was an instant death sentence. Lina had never encountered the higher members of the Pack or the Alpha. She didn't care to, as her only focus was finishing her studies and getting out of town. But as fate would have it, her path crossed with the reigning Alpha, something she never expected. Not only was he the embodiment of strength and dominance, but his striking features were impossible to ignore. He knew that she was his other half. But Lina wasn't planning on ever stepping foot on their territory again or meeting the Alpha for a second time. At least, that's what she thought. [UN-EDITED & HAS ERRORS]

"How comes you aren't shy right now? You sometimes stutter around me." I smiled a little. "I'm not new to sex. I had an ex remember?" He nodded slowly. "Are you kinky?" I licked my lips. "Why did you ask?" He gripped my legs and yanked me closer to him. "Because I want to taste you. Will you be okay with that?" I froze a little. As much as I was used to sex, I've never been eaten before. "My ex didn't..." I trailed off. He smirked before slipping off the couch and onto his knees. _____________________________________ Being sentence to two years in prison was one thing.

I, Rain Ashford, came out of the fire empty - hollowed. My skin blistered, memory scorched clean. Nothing left but the smell of smoke in my hair and the weight of questions no one wants to answer. They tell me I had an apartment. A life. People who mattered. But when I look at them, it's like staring at strangers through glass-close enough to touch, too far to feel. All I know is the fire wasn't just flames. It was something else-someone else. And if I don't figure out how it started, I'll never know if I was the one who burned it all down... or if someone was trying to burn me out. Everything I was is ash. Now I have to decide what the hell rises from it.

Time-travel. Visions. The past and future. We've seen it all before... or so we thought. Rin and Ali are detectives, roommates, best friends and partners in crime. 𝑹𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆-𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍. 𝑨𝒍𝒊 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐-𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. Solving criminal cases? Basically cheating with their cool powers. Together they're unstoppable... until they aren't. Until Ali get's a girlfriend. Someone who Rin... deeply despises. His disapproval of her runs much deeper than hate. 𝑭𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔. While tangled in the chaos of love and hate, dead bodies keep turning up left and right. Bodies belonging to other cops, detectives and high-ranking officers. Cause of death? Hypoxia. No evidence is ever left behind, but the amount of officers dying is... suspicious. It's not an accident. Every day that goes by, the harder and harder the case is to solve, even with their powers. Sometimes it makes you wish you could just... pause time. Turns out, you can. Time-travel and visions aren't the only time-related powers in this universe. The killer has powers too, and he's taken an interest in the detectives. He's intrigued by their powers. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔.

"You're so hot," he groaned out before attacking my chest. My body shivered and my toes curled as he led me to a different place where only pleasure was. His fingers went lower and lower until they were between my legs. He slipped his hand into my panty and I moaned out and pulled his hair. "So fucking wet for me," he muttered out and his voice made me tremble. He pulled off my panty once and for all before pacing my leg on his shoulder. Before I could register anything, his head went between my legs. _____________________________________ Vanessa never thought she'd come face to face again with the man who once ruined her life. But he was back and worse, he had no intention of leaving her alone. What happens when she crossed paths with the one and only Mordechai Lenetti? Owner of Lenetti's House of Essence. Multi-billionaire. Arrogant. Cold. Powerful. Untouchable. Mordechai was a man who ruled through control. He smiled when it benefited him and crushed anything that challenged his authority. Women were distractions. Power was everything. Family came first. Everyone else was expendable. When his mother offered Vanessa a job, she couldn't afford to refuse. She needed the money, needed a way out of the city before her past caught up to her. Mordechai was supposed to be just her boss. Distant. Uninterested. Uninvolved. He wasn't. From the moment he noticed her, something shifted. Vanessa wasn't like the others. She didn't fawn. She didn't fear him. And that alone made her mysterious. Mordechai knew there was something about her, and he wasn't going to stop until he satisfied his curiosity.

In the untamed American frontier of 1870, 17-year-old Noemi is sold into marriage to Riven, a hardened Civil War veteran with a reputation as a ruthless cowboy. Scarred by his past and burdened with the responsibility of inheriting a sprawling ranch in Oregon, Riven is determined to keep his new bride at arms length. As they journey across the treacherous Oregon Trail, bound for a life neither of them envisioned, Noemi's fierce spirit and innocence begin to thaw Riven's hardened heart. Despite their rocky start, an unexpected bond forms between them, filled with moments of playful competition, mutual respect, and a deepening attraction that neither can ignore. But the trail is fraught with dangers, both from the wild terrain and the ghosts of their pasts. As they face the challenges of survival together, Noemi learns to harness her own strength, demanding to learn the skills that will allow her to stand beside Riven as his equal. Along the way, she uncovers a softer side of the man she's bound to, while Riven is forced to confront his fears of vulnerability and the possibility to love. Yet, as they near their destination, the question remains: can they truly leave behind the pain of their pasts and forge a future together on the unforgiving frontier, or will the harsh realities of the Wild West tear them apart before they even have a chance?

"Take your clothes off Stella," his deep voice caused a shiver to rake through my entire body. I stared at him as I took my clothes off. He opened the shower door and entered, pulling me along with him. He reached behind me and turned the water on. "If you'd never touched Brad like that... He ran a hand through my hair before lowering his lips to my ear. ...that means you never loved him," he said next and I pushed myself away from him. ______________________________________ Stella Newton was working as a florist before an unfortunate situation caused her to lose her job.
