It's the late victorian era and workers are protesting for their rights. Ash or more commonly known as Miss Simpson- has to look after her family in dire times and that requires working for the enemy in order to make ends meet. Mr. Arthur is a businessman and work is all that matters to him. He doesn't have time for protestors. He has a reputation of being cold, and anyone that crosses him faces the consequences. When Ashley's (Miss Simpson) brother tries to stand up to him, Mr. Arthur makes sure he pays dearly for it. Now he is faced with a woman that will threaten to challenge all of his principals. Mr Arthur and Ash have been connected through one ugly night and no matter what, they cannot put it behind them. SNIPPET: "Don't think that you landed a good job, I will make your life miserable." said Mr. Arthur. Glaring at him, I hissed. "I hadn't thought that I had and don't worry, I will never work for a man like you!" I tried to move away but he placed his arm on the wall next to me, effectively trapping me. "What?" I snapped. "A man like me?" he chuckled. "I would never want the girls to be exposed to a dishonest woman like you!" #1 in historical romance. ✨ -6/7/2022 #1 in slow. ✨ - 28/7/2022 #1 in old times ✨- 4/8/2022 Slow burn ?✔️ hate to love? ✔️ angst? ✔️ enemies that wanna kill one another but may be won't do that? ✔️ Bridgerton ✔️ Jane Austen ✔️ What you're waiting for?

Her mother, the supposed Faerie Queen, promised that if she waited four years, everything would be fine. Spoiler alert: Everything is NOT fine. Now, on the day she turned eighteen, she's been framed, kidnapped, and dragged back to the Fae world, where she's expected to compete in deadly trials to prove she's worthy of the crown. If she fails? Her friends die. If she wins? She gets to be queen. Some birthday present, right? Oh, and about those friends? They had no idea that their buddy Matt was actually a girl. Surprise! Well, that's what she thinks anyway. Also, surprise again! She's been shoved into an arranged marriage with seven men-three of whom are her (now very confused) besties. Magic, mayhem, murder plots, and way too many hot husbands-Madeline is in for the fight of her life. Thanks for all the love! Every like, comment, and add is like a present, so I appreciate them!

#1 Dystopian | #1 Survival | #3 Romance Abandoned by her mother in the midst of a war, Olya is caught in the throes of an uprising and captured by an enemy soldier. Only he won't tell her where he is taking her, because according to his people's laws he cannot look at, speak to, or touch a woman. || My eyes rolled open with a click, like the cocking of a gun--armed, dangerous--and for a brief and merciful moment, I remembered nothing. It took long seconds for the ceiling above to shift into focus-flat and smooth, a panel of shiny steel, almost like a mirror but warped. A distorted reflection gazed back at me, a ghostly white girl in dark clothing, colorless eyes and snowflakes for lashes. Had I always looked like that? Long hair and eyes wild? More of an animal than a girl? I supposed I had. ★✩★ ACHERON AWARDS|1ST PLACE| SOUL AWARDS|1ST PLACE| EXTRAORDINARY AWARDS|2nd Place| LITWITS AWARDS|2nd place| MIDNIGHT AWARDS|2nd place| GRAMMAR AWARDS|Finalist| TRIDENTS AWARDS|Runner Up|

His chest glistened with water droplets dribbling down the glowing bronze skin. Resting, his strong muscular back against the rocks on the lake side, head lulled backwards, onyx eyes closed in utter salvation. "Your spying on me is utterly useless young tulip." Ink eyes opened, resting upon my little frame making me freeze. "What are you thinking? You have got this one chance....run away." He offered his eyes watching my each and every movement like a hawk. "I am a prisoner sire, I have heard stories....tales of how war prisoners are mercilessly butchered if they are caught and I can't afford to die....not yet...I have someone to feed and I will do anything for them." "Anything?" He asked in eerily calm voice. I nodded slowly a lump forming in my throat as my eyes glistened with tears with the scenes of men using my eighteen year body flashed infront of me making me tremble. Water splashed around as he rose to his full height inside the lagoon, his eyes solely focused on me, his feet moving forward, closing our distance altogether. "Azarios" I stiffened, my eyes snapping to his in utter surprise as I heard the name leaving his plump lips. His identity, the name which echoed throughout the dynasty making every living soul shudder. Killer Commander Beast He was the commander of Gladiators. Azarios, the Gladiator of Ambrose. "You will be the bride of mine." "You are my enemy, my contender, the person I hate with everything....every fibre in my soul." she fumed. "Too bad then... you are the person I love with every cell in my body." *No toxic relationship*

"This should be the last time you talked to me like that," he lowered his face to my level, spiking my heart rate further.
