*Coming soon from W by Wattpad* When beauty meets her beast-a modern retelling of a classic story with one major twist...this story isn't for sweet little girls. 'Keep the Blarcum name strong.' That is LORD VAN BLARCUM's duty and his curse. All his life he's been groomed to carry on the Blarcum legacy. He lives under his mother's rule, and he does as she pleases to protect the one thing he loves most: his manor. He doesn't care for the legacy or the empire. He prefers his isolated life on the Hebridean Isle of Lewis. His manor and his horses are all he needs. Until she walks into his life... AMANI BLAKE wants adventure. She's dreamt of seeing the rolling hills of the Highlands since she was a child, but she's stuck. She let her mother's fears keep her in the same place she's always been. After an explosive encounter with her employer, Amani has enough. She quits her job and takes her life into her own hands. A lucky search on LinkedIn has her accepting a position as an assistant to a Lord in Stornoway, Scotland. Will Lord Blarcum learn to love something more than his manor and be the adventure Amani didn't know she was looking for? Or will duty stand in the way of affairs of the heart?

There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath. To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family. ___________________ As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love. The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision). ____________________ Magnificent cover by @Tweeter109 Awesome headers by @FayLane

[FEATURED ON WATTPAD ROMANCE] He was beautiful, all tousled, ink-black hair and elegant cheekbones, but his eyes were what kept her gaze locked on him. They were a brilliant gold, like rich honey, framed by long, dark eyelashes. There was a hint of mischief in them, and in the curve of his lips. He seemed her age, about seventeen or eighteen, and was dressed in a dark lightsuit and tactical boots. She could see a leather sword strap across his chest and the glint of blades in the lining of his jacket. The knife she had thrown at him was in his hand, fingers gripping the handle loosely. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you normally throw knives at strangers you don't know? Or just the good-looking ones?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice as he spoke. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sophia Altus, daughter of the Ice Queen, has lived all her life with no real danger.
