I flinched as his hand reached to my face, and aggressively pulled down the cloak from my head. His eyes scanned me, taking in my tear-stained face, my jewelry, the hem of my dress. Then he spoke, voice cold and measured. "What is your name?" I opened my mouth, but no words came. Fear tightened its grip. "I believe I asked you a question," he said, eyes darkening further. "Alice," I choked out between tears and ragged breaths of panic. His cold eyes stayed on my face a moment longer before he finally released my cloak from his grip. His gaze drifted to the window. "You will address me as Your Highness. I do not tolerate mistakes. I will not shy away from punishment, and if I have too, I will make sure you learn to never defy my order again. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world, everybody has a soulmate-two people destined to be together for the rest of their lives.

A beautiful word with an even more beautiful meaning. Everyone is born with a soulmate, a person who's bonded to you physically and emotionally, you can feel the others pain and pleasure, read each others mind as if it was your own. Not everyone finds their soulmate, some just settle with someone they find compatible. A sad truth is that if you never find your soulmate you'll never experience all that comes with it, it's more than just a bond, more than just a connection you have shared with one's heart, soul, body and mind. Being one with another person is indescribable. I was lucky to have found my soulmate young, our years together seemed endless, each kiss and gentle touch, every "I love you", every intimate moment we shared felt as if it'd last forever. We were meant to be married, have children and spend the rest of our lives together. Our bond shouldn't have broken, but it did. I may still be breathing but my heart died along with yours that day. My once in a lifetime, my everything, my twin flame, my bonded lover died before we ever had the chance to create our life of memories together. They say everyone has one soulmate. One chance at a forever love. But what if maybe, I have a second chance at being bonded with another? What if the stuck up, dickhead, who owns my building, is my second chance? What if we were bound to fall in love? ____________ Started

Aurelia, a Noble Roman woman, had heard of the savage British tribes, their mystic Celtic ways, and the battles the Roman army was fighting against them on their shores. The battles her soon-to-be Husband, Quintus Acquilla, was fighting in the name of the Eagle.

[COMPLETE] Katherine Williamson Peters wasn't born a beaten coward. When she was a girl she was wild and free and brave. She was Blue Angel, fierce protector of the imaginary innocent and robber of make-believe trains. She climbed trees and disobeyed her father and she cavorted with demons. At least that's what the church folk said-- Gabriel Townsend's momma was a concubine for Satan himself, and her son was the devil's seed. Not that it mattered much to Katherine, back when she was young and reckless. Gabe was just her partner in crime, her best friend in the whole world. She was Blue Angel and he was Devil Dog, slayer of bad guys and wielder of six-shooter finger guns. But life had other plans for Katherine than the rebellion and joy she favored as a girl. She couldn't say exactly how it happened that she lost her courage, but she woke up one day and found herself conquered. Battered and alone, crushed beneath the heel of her husband, her obligations, and the weight of the town's judgment. A brave woman would have fought. She'd have protected herself and brought goodness and strength back to the name of God-- a name her husband's preachings had tarnished. Katherine wasn't brave. She was a coward, and like a coward she turned her back on God and she fled... ...right into the arms of the devil.

Years of common sense left her when he invited her into his company, and she found herself tangled with him beneath virgin sheets. He worshiped her body, crooned sweet promises into her ear, and a dismal future forecast of drudgery and struggle lifted away at his words. He claimed her, stole her away from strangled city life, and rewrote her future in one glorious night of star-crossed lovemaking. There was just one problem-- Brent Tucker wasn't hero of Amelia's story.
