Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith to find what you're looking for...

Living in a cosy bungalow with a fully-functioning fire and a hairy dog is exactly what Nell Edwards had dreamed about; she just dreamed it would be her own bungalow, her own fire and her own dog, not the arrogant Adam's. So when she finds herself in the middle of Scotland in the pouring rain without a clue where she is, Adam's offer of staying the night seems oddly appealing. 

But running away from her London socialite lifestyle catches up with her just when she is becoming more attracted to the Scottish Highlands ... And Adam. Was Nell's leap of faith really worth it, or is the man she swore to loathe one temptation too far?

The Edge of Misery: The Mitchel Brothers Series Book Two by BritCYancey
22 parts Complete
** Picks up where The Edge of Hell (Mitchell Brothers Series Book One) left off** If there's one thing Declan Mitchell learned from watching his mama almost die from the heartbreak of losing his daddy to a war nineteen years ago, it was that a great and powerful love delivered an equally devastating heartbreak and suffering-the kind he had every intention of avoiding like the bubonic plague. And until traveling west to Idaho Territory and coming face to face with the mismatch-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, Wren McCrawdon, he believed he might succeed in carrying out his plans of never marrying. Molded by her traumatic journey west when she was twelve, twenty-four-year-old, accident-prone Wren McCrawdon's life on her family's ranch in Falcon Ridge, Idaho, is full of back-breaking work, beginning as dawn's first rays peek across the mountains and ending long after the sun sets when she can barely drag her weary bones up the stairs to her bedroom. But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.

"Love is Dangerous" is a short story written by S. S., a girl from Northern Italy. It tells the story of Charlotte Cornell, a policewoman who works in Bath, in the South of England. Her life there is almost perfect; she has many friends and is very happy about her job. Everything starts to change when some weird writings appear on the walls of an abandoned building, and she realizes that she could have some enemies. But who, exactly? Maybe her previous colleagues, the people she worked with a couple of years before, when she lived in Newcastle, her hometown. She had a good career there but Charlotte decided to move away when...she started to be the victim of unfair criticisms. She could not stand that situation anymore. Now, her investigation in Bath becomes increasingly complicated, until she could not be sure about anything anymore. She will have to "relive her memories", face her past and meet some old "friends" and, finally, even to risk her own life just to try to achieve what she deserves. After all, she just wants to be happy, is she asking too much? "Love is Dangerous" focuses on Charlotte's life as a cop, and especially on her investigation to find out the truth about a tragic event happened in Newcastle, but there is also room for feelings in this short story, like friendship and love. "Love is Dangerous" is a short story written by me, S. S., in 2017. It was the first story I wrote completely in English and, especially at the beginning, it really seemed like a difficult challenge. However, after a while everything started to be natural and the adventures of Charlotte Cornell took life in an unexpected and interesting way. The text was submitted to a contest but did not win, therefore I have recently decided to publish it here online. I really hope you can enjoy this short but involving story.

HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.
