Morgan, the second-born son of a prominent family, ventures to court to find a bride. He's aided by Liam, a charming rake who may not be what he seems. *** Morgan Winslow arrives at Mothshire Court for the summer marriage market, recently heartbroken and eager to carry on his family's legacy. He has every intention of finding a wife, despite his true desires. But as rumours swirl that he enjoys the company of other men, his prospects look poor. This prompts his stepmother to enlist the help of notorious rake Liam Danmore to rehabilitate his image. But Liam might not be the womanizer he appears, and Morgan's will to conform may not be as strong as he thought. The court of Queen Ainsley is a progressive one, with a proclamation in place that allows men to marry if they give up their inheritance. But members of the conservative elite who disagree with these policies (including Liam's father) plot to install the prince over his twin sister as the queen's health fails. As Liam and Morgan grow closer, they discover more and more of the secret underground of the summer palace. The conspiracy against the queen threatens the reforms she ushered in along with the very existence of the underground itself. There are more than a few obstacles in their path, and powerful figures working against them. But one thing is certain: if they want to be together, they'll have to fight for it.

What she'd look like without that shirt. What she'd sound like if I kissed the corner of her throat and whispered her name there. What she'd do if I pinned her against the counter and made her say please. What she'd do if I- "Dominic?" • "I stayed up late, trying to get good at maths... just so I could be someone you'd respect. Someone you might someday look at and see more. Someone who could belong in your world." "I didn't want your money. Or your praise. I just..." my throat tightened, "I just wanted you to see me. Not Tristan's sister. Not a kid." Just Elena. • Elena Evelyn Grantt has spent years pretending. Pretending she didn't love him, pretending she could move on, and pretending it didn't matter that he never saw her that way. To Carl Dominic Enzo, she was only his best friend's little sister. But when Dominic returns, everything begins to shift. Older now and harder to ignore, he still calls her "little sister" and still treats her like family, yet his eyes linger longer than they should and the tension between them grows harder to resist. She was never meant to love him. He was never supposed to want her. But some lines are meant to be crossed...

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8

He's a ghost in the city, a man of violence and secrets. She's the only one who ever caught his eye. Now he's watching... waiting... and when he finally speaks, it's not a threat. It's a promise: If you stay, you're mine Fibiya. 𖦹 A muscle in his jaw contracted. For a moment, I thought he'd stay silent. Then, slowly, he exhaled. "My name," he whispered, as if it were a secret, "is Lucian." ''Lucian Kavanagh'' The name dropped into the car like a sheathed knife. Dark. Smooth. Final. "Lucian," I said, the sound of it, the syllables heavier than they should be. His eyes flickered, a shadow of a smile playing on his lips and opened like he wanted to say something but he didn't. 𖦹 #46 Russian #19 Silence #103 Badboy (TW: Sex, murder, drugs, mafia, obsession, stalking, guns,mention of blood, inapropriate language.) i want to warn sensitive readers.
