Three (History Plays, Book 2)
Summer break? Nah, it's heist time. The heirs to crime family syndicate work together and against each other as twisting plots for dominance run over each other over a piping hot summer. Loosely based on the first half of the Elizabethan Drama, Edward III. Feels like an indie drama. Trigger/ Content Warnings: Rape is discussed at length (no voilence on page). A character believes they are going to be raped. Some sexual innuendos. A teenage character does illegal drugs and drinks on page. Some on page violence. Children commit crimes on page and are encouraged to do so by adults. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed. More information below if needed, there are spoilers: A female character believes a male character is going to rape them. This goes on for the majority of the book. There is no violence and the other character never intends to commit rape, however it is implied that he is aware the female character is upset and does not seem to care, however he ceases advances when he realizes she is genuinely afraid of him and not merely nervous. That said the female character spends most of the book contemplating escaping the situation by whatever means necessary.Complete
The Mistakes and Memories of Edward Townsend
Agent Edward Townsend of MI6 is many things: young, ambitious, calculating, and yes, strikingly handsome. Sure, he's got a reputation of being condescending, but that's not taking him off the fast track to become a top clearance operative before he's thirty and be privy to Britain's most precious government secrets. Edward has a long list of achievements under his name, including thwarting missile-smuggling ex-KGB generals and taking three bullets to save the British Queen, so he (reasonably) thinks he's seen it all. Until a woman named Catherine Goode walks into his life. His brief- yet life-changing- affair with her sends him on a collision course with an international terrorist organization that has existed since the American Civil War, a group of talented young girls attending the world's premier boarding school for spies, and maybe even the love of his life. This novella tells readers the backstory behind the most mysterious of characters from Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series. (Note: I am not Ally Carter. These characters and the general story line belong to her. Plus, this was written before her Plaid Collection epilogues came out, so the novella may not match up perfectly.)Complete
