Lady Sarah Emiline Lucia needs to hide her identity for fear that mobs will kill her and her family after her uncle-Napoleon Bonaparte-is exiled to Melba. She is sent to Hampshire, England, to stay with friends of her father. To stay safe, she must play the role of her maid while her maid assumes Lady Sarah's identity. Complications arise when she meets the very handsome man, and she suddenly wants him to look at her as a real woman, not a servant. Protecting her life, however, is more important than confessing the truth Gabriel Lawrence's pirate ship is almost captured, and this time it was too close. He and his crew need to hide for a few months in hopes that Napoleon's men who seek revenge will soon forget about him. During his stay at his aunt and uncle's in Hampshire, he meets his enemy's niece. Because she doesn't know who Gabe is, he will become close to her to see if she knows any more of her uncle's secrets. But the beauty of her companion, Miss Emmie, captures his attention, and her quirky personality keeps him wanting more. But her over-zealous nature for adventure places both of them in danger, and he's forced to play the honorable rogue. How can he protect them both when an unknown spy is always one step ahead...and wants Gabe dead?

Sentiment? A Weakness by Sp00kySpoons

When Sherlock Holmes receives an urgent summons to the majestic halls of Imperial College London, he is thrust into a labyrinthine mystery that threatens to unravel the very backbone of British scientific achievement. A string of unexplained breakthroughs in biochemistry, accompanied by the peculiar malfunctioning of lab equipment and the inexplicable vanishing of crucial data, has left the university's esteemed research teetering on the brink of disaster. As tempers flare and uncertainty looms large, the shadowy figure of a possible saboteur-begins to unravel threads of an intricate plot far more insidious. Mycroft manipulates the investigation with his characteristic cunning, maneuvering from the shadows like a chess master overseeing a game of immense stakes, while the Chancellor waits on pins and needles for a resolution. Faced with challenges that test not only his remarkable intellect but also his unwavering loyalty to his family and country, Sherlock plunges deeper into the enigmatic chaos. He uncovers hidden alliances amongst the faculty, encrypted secrets that lie beneath layers of bureaucracy, and chilling truths that suggest the very research intended to propel Britain forward could, in the wrong hands, become a weapon of catastrophic potential. One miscalculated move could trigger a series of events powerful enough to send shockwaves through the global scientific community-putting Sherlock at the forefront of a battle he never anticipated. Yet the implications stretch far beyond the reputation of Imperial College; as Sherlock meticulously peels back the deceptions obscuring the truth, he uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of national security and casts a long shadow over Mycroft's precarious position within the government. With time slipping away and Sherlock is compelled to navigate this treacherous landscape with utmost precision. It is a race against an unseen adversary, where every decision could lead to his downfall

The world's only consulting detective, an ex-army doctor, an art therapist, and an American who loves music. These sound like four very different people, right? Definitely. Em isn't quite sure what she expects to deal with when she decides to leave her home in the US to go and live with her half-sister (Athena) all the way over in London at the address of 221C Baker Street. Being woken up from trying to sleep off her red-eye flight jet lag by all the ruckus being made by her and her sister's new 221B neighbor was not something she wanted to have to deal with right away. However, she storms up the stairs and gives Mister Sherlock Holmes a piece of her mind. How does he respond? What happens when the landlady (Mrs Hudson) suggests Sherlock look for a new flatmate in order to make paying the rent a bit easier on himself? And how does Em and Athena's dynamic with Sherlock change when Doctor John Watson walks into their lives? Something dark and eerie lurks in the shadows, watching our team of four mystery solvers take the world of crime solving by storm. Eventually, things will be revealed about one of our Baker Street Four that will make the other three see them in a whole new light. Well, might as well get started because... the game is on! ▇ ▇ ▇ Pairings: • (Sherlock Holmes x OFC) • (John Watson x OFC) Cover by Timelady2013

Still mysteries and pieces to put together. Every single person has a secret. The question is... What're you hiding? And why? Remember... If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun. I suck at descriptions honestly just read with book ;) Here's a fun snippet: "You kissed them?" Chase whispers to me. "No! Well yes and no, kind of. Now's not the fucking time," I stop myself from rambling. "Put the gun down," Louis demands. "Or we will shoot!" "What if I shoot first," I challenge. "Five of us and two of you. You knock down one or two of us we'll have your name on a gravestone," Louis grins evilly. "Are you underestimating my shooting skills?" I question. "Do you want to find out," Louis dares. "No! No the fuck we don't," Chase yells. He shoots me a 'what the fuck is wrong with you' look and I shrug.
