Corinna Báthory, 16th-century nobility, is kidnapped and thrown into a male detective academy in present-day Florida. But they grabbed the wrong girl. Season 1 of Agents of Time ***** It's 1585, and things could not possibly be going any slower for Corinna Báthory. Overwhelmed with expectations as Hungarian nobility and the trials and tribulations of becoming a female playwright in a field dominated by men, Corinna would do anything for a change of pace. Of course, there's nothing better to speed up the narrative than being kidnapped...and being accused of being a serial killer. ***** [[ THE WATTY'S 2021 SHORTLIST ]]

A magic-addicted spy trapped in the queen's service must track a princess-turned-assassin in order to earn her freedom, but things get complicated when she falls for the princess she's supposed to capture. ***** Weak. Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural. Those are the words whispered about eighteen-year-old Zara Tait, a Leodian spy addicted to soul-stealing magic. Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom. When Kayden arrives in Leodia, Zara sees the quiet girl with unique magic as the bargaining chip she needs. But the more she learns of Kayden, the more her feelings grow. Now, Zara must choose between her freedom and the dangerous assassin she hadn't meant to fall for.

»Flirtest du etwa gerade mit mir?« »Sydney, ich flirte mit dir, seit wir uns kennen, aber danke, dass du es endlich bemerkt hast.« Dean Walker ist ein Mörder, so heißt es. Er wird seit Monaten von der Polizei und einer Möchtegern-Bande ― die sogenannten ›Catchers‹ ― gesucht und doch hat niemand eine Spur von ihm gesehen. Der 21-Jährige weiß genau, was ihm blüht, sobald er doch irgendwann gefunden wird und setzt deshalb alles daran, unauffällig zu sein und niemanden auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Sydney O'Donnell will nur eins: Einen guten Start in ihr College-Leben. Neben ereignisreichen College-Partys, ihrer verrückten Mitbewohnerin und ihrem Psychologiestudium muss sie sich auch noch mit ihrem etwas hartnäckigen Exfreund herumschlagen, aber das ist nichts im Vergleich zu dem, was auf sie zukommt, als sie Dean begegnet, der ihr bisher ziemlich langweiliges Leben ordentlich auf den Kopf stellt. ───────────────────────────── © 2020 UNGEKUESST COVER BY @calalu WORDS: 115.000 PAGES: 460 [ERWACHSENENINHALT]

Zu allem Übel trifft sie dort auch noch auf den Sohn der Westwoods, den sie bereits aus Kindheitszeiten kennt. In den vergangenen Jahren ist so einiges in Charlies Leben vorgefallen, was ihr wahres Ich unter einem Deckmantel aus Schutzmechanismen verbirgt. James Westwood nimmt sich jedoch fest vor herauszufinden, wo ihr Kern vergraben liegt und welche Geheimnisse sich darin verstecken ... ✎ Leseprobe ELITE-AWARD-GEWINNER DES 1.

"She's hot." "Yeah, I know. I'm kinda jealous..." "I'm gonna ask her out." "Are you crazy? You're asking for a death wish." "What's so wrong with me asking her out?" "Everything! You just can't." "Why!?" "Because she belongs to the king." - Mia White was just an ordinary girl that walked the face of earth. She was who people looked up to. She had good grades, was the kindest person you'd ever meet, and was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone in ClearHills Academy loved her. But, there were also some who feared and despised her. Some people hated Mia because she was known as 'little miss perfect' and because she was claimed by the one who practically owned everything. Besides her best friend, Sarah, not many people approached her. Most people feared that if they were to do something wrong, it would anger him. And that was the last thing people wanted. Ace King was someone not to mess with. His father owns a powerful company that he would soon take over. He was what parents told their kids not become. He was the bad boy of ClearHills Academy. Ever since Ace first laid eyes on her as kids, she was what he wanted most. Mia was the only person who he'd drop on his knees and bow down to, she was the only person he cared not to be feared by. She was the only who could tame him. - "What is it dear? Do you want something else?" his mother asked, looking down to see his attention focused on something. Or rather, someone. "Her," he said, pointing at a girl, sitting on a small wooden stool with a book in her hands. "I want her." - ❝Everyone knows she belongs to him.❞ - WARNING [ contains mature language ] Highest Ranking #1 - 01/27/18 | Billionaire #1 - 02/01/18 | Romance STARTED on November 7, 2017
