Post first world war Britain is a dismal place, darkness exudes from every nook and cranny of a tired and worn out nation desperately trying to fill the holes in a crumbling empire.

Amidst this gloom, secrets dwell in even the quietest and subdued places, even a quiet town in a quiet part of the English countryside.

Alex lives every day of his life as a lie, he seeks revenge for wrongs done to him and his family when he teamed up with the beautifully scarred Mae there was no stopping them. Now is the time they have waited for. They must claim their revenge before someone claims them. 

Murder, betrayal, lies, and debauchery lie ahead as secrets are revealed and teach them that the sins of the father and an empire always get avenged.All Rights Reserved

Pain and Love by trishawrtes

For him, it was love at first sight. A fleeting glance that changed everything. How could he have known, with just one look, that his heart was already hers? But for her, the world was a maze of shadows, and love was the last thing she allowed herself to feel. She had secrets dark ones that held her prisoner, and a promise to marry someone else, a future already written. But can fate be so easily ignored? Can two hearts, drawn together by something deeper than reason, ever be torn apart by duty or fear? What if she doesn't love him back? What if the scars of her past are too deep to heal? And what if, despite everything, their love was meant to be? What happens when love arrives uninvited, when the heart falls for someone it' s not meant to? Can a man, who loves so deeply, break through the walls of her broken soul? Or will the weight of her past and the promise of her future pull them apart? This is a story of a love so intense, so pure, that it lingers like a whispered promise in the dark. Of a girl with secrets buried deep, a past that haunts her every step, and a man willing to fight for a love that may never be his. Can love heal the wounds of a tortured soul? Or will the past destroy the future they could have shared? Join them on a journey where love and pain collide, and every choice may either tear them apart or bind them together forever.
