In the autumn of 1916, deep in rural Ontario, Clara DuBois, a young Black woman, spends her days tending to her aunt's modest farm and working as a nurse's aide at a military hospital overflowing with wounded soldiers. She keeps her head down, works hard, and knows better than to expect kindness from a world that has rarely offered it. Still, she finds purpose in her care-until a single encounter shatters the ground she's built her life on. When Lieutenant Edward Whitcombe, a well-born, sharp-tongued soldier from a wealthy Toronto family, is brought in with a shattered leg and a sharper temper, Clara is assigned to tend to his wounds. What begins as a clash of class, race, and stubborn wills slowly softens into something neither of them expected: understanding. And, perhaps, something even deeper. But as rumours stir and the shadow of separation looms ever larger, Clara and Edward must decide whether the emotions between them is strong enough to endure the forces determined to tear them apart.

"So Professor Jones, does this mean that we are an actual thing now?" "Princess, calling me that will get you in trouble," he grunts. I smiled in response, because he liked it. He liked that I was calling him professor. I think this was what was so exciting about him and I. He was my professor and the idea of fucking each other is a turn on. There was also the fact I had Grayson as well, even though he was the more reserved one, but what's the harm in still having both of them. I moved my hands under his shirt and I felt soft patch of hair, but hard muscle. "Maybe I want to get in trouble," I teased. "I thought you were going to be a good girl?" Grayson interjects. "I never said I would be good all the time," I say, innocently.

From the author of your favorites like "Favor with the King" and "DUSA," comes the heart pounding, page turning story of Robin Hood (with a twist) Life used to be wonderful in the prosperous kingdom of Enchancia. It was only until a new ruler, King Richard, was brought to the throne that made the kingdom fail. Meet Robyn; a 19 year old free spirit whose life is filled with looting and debauchery: she was raised to rob all her life and has sworn off all royals as evil; what happens when she steals something most valuable from the king? Will a deal with a devil be her only chance to freedom? ____ "You really don't like to share?" I chided. "I am a prince so I always get what I want" he bragged. Once we entered his room he closed the door and turned to inspect my figure. He undressed me with his eyes and walked over to peel the thin red tulle covering my face. I breath nervously as we stand just a breaths apart, our lips barely touching at the surface. "Tell me to kiss you" he whispers desperately, pulling my body into his toned form; his warm hand trails across my exposed back. No words were exchanged as we stood observing each other, as if it was the first time we had met. "And why would I tell you to do a thing like that?" I tease him, impatiently waiting for the chance to tattoo the taste of his lips onto mine. "The eyes are the window to one's soul and yours are screaming for my touch" he murmurs as he grabs my chin, forcing me to stare into his blue eyes. I bit my lip innocently, making sure to tease him again. "Tell me" he growls once more into my neck, as his wet tongue begins to glide down its surface. _____ There will be a love triangle INVOLVED!
