"You make me want to sin, Lady Portia." Harry drawled out his words eloquently, his voice a whisper of promise and eyes filled with glitter and lust. "I am already deep in the abyss of sins, Harry." Portia said as she stared back into his forest eyes, feeling her nerves kick in due to adrenaline. "Would you pull me into the abyss with you, dear Portia?" Harry asked as their noses touched each other, his warm breath fanning over Portia's face. Portia smiled widely before pulling him down suddenly, diving into the ocean of love as the light transcended from above, twirling in the water while their lips danced to the music of sins. -------- A game of love, oppression, war, wrath and freedom.

In hiding as a maid, Princess Adelaide must resist the charms of the devilishly handsome Duke of Kingfield. But could he help her if she told him her secret? ***** Two years ago, Princess Adelaide was forced into hiding after her father, King William IV, was killed in a carriage accident that also took the life of her mother and brother. She suspects that the despicable man now on the throne of England--her uncle, Ernest--is responsible for her family's death, so she avoids his watchful eye by working as a maid for the aristocratic families of London. However, when she's employed by the dashing Duke of Kingfield, she soon discovers that he not only believes that the princess is alive, but also that she could be the key to saving England. Is Adelaide willing to come out of hiding in order to prove him right? Or are her growing feelings for him worth giving up her claim to the throne?

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
