Despite the unshakable attraction between them, Maeve and Lucian are uninterested in love and marriage; especially since they hate one another and couldn't think of a worse match. • • • London, 1815 Maeve Langston's aversion to the opposite sex has given her the reputation of being an insufferable wench, so men have learned to stay away from her. Lucian Thorne, Baron Worthington, has become somewhat of a cynical hermit since his return from the Napoleonic wars, injured and disgruntled. When the two meet, they rapidly learn to despise each other. She appears to be a narcissistic brat, and he keeps acting like a pompous arse. Lucian wants nothing more than to stay away from Maeve, but his best friend has his eyes set on her for marriage. He has no choice but to show him the dreadful harpy that lies beneath the lovely facade. However, the more time they spend in each other's presence, the clearer it becomes that first impressions can be wrong. Between their unexpected similarities and the sparks that fly every time they meet, what started as hatred slowly shifts into something different. Something both of them will find much more dangerous. • • • This is the second installment of the Langston Series. Although I advise you to read the first one first (The Prince and the Spitfire), it can be read as a standalone.

The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more.

What's worse than being married to the wrong person? Being cursed to do it over and over again. Ethan has no control over the fact he has to find a wife over and over again. One he is cursed to crave the love and desire of, yet do all the wrong things to make her hate him. To live in a kind of tortured hell where he is told by the one he should spend his life with how much they despise him. How worthless he is. He could end this misery by just saying yes to his real tormentor. Morgan Celine is dead set on teaching him a lesson. She believes she loves him, and has cursed him to this fate. Forcing him to do it over and over. Take a wife, so that he can know her pain at his rejection. Ethan knows the truth, Morgan doesn't love him. Morgan just hates to lose and she is infatuated with him. He would rather die a thousand deaths than say yes to her. Unfortunately he doesn't see any way out. Just a viscous never ending cycle. Or so he thinks, when Ethan is forced to choose another yet again he comes across Corin Wright. Corin has no idea what she is about to step into. Or rather be forced into. Ethan and Morgan have no idea how dangerous a choice Corin is on more levels than one. Sometimes to break a curse you have to give up the happy ending you want. Sometimes saving the one you love matters more than your happy ending. ________ "I want you, I can't stand not having you anymore." He spoke into her ear. "If I said no?" Her voice rather quiet and her breath a bit shorter. She'd turned her head to look at him, his gaze was heated and met hers for a second. Then his mouth briefly touched the corner of her mouth before moving to her throat again. "I'd say to bad." Shouldn't she be more upset at that? Rather than a needful rush low between her legs and her womb clenching. This story is fully complete on Inkitt, if you wish to read it fully, please go there to do so! Thank you
