Book 2

Amelia Hemmings is now an established businesswoman, even though she had only been at it for a few weeks. Word goes far, quickly. She almost immediately becomes a living legend.

Amy is still broken. After the events at the Friday ball, she feels like a shell of her former self. With this in mind, her and Mr Damien Lancaster travel to the American South for business. With tensions rising in the former colonies, Amy questions her morals. The American South wants her business, but can she go through with it? Slavery was abolished in 1833 in England. The South relies on England heavily to buy their textiles.
Amy is asked to help arm the South for the upcoming Civil War.
Can she do it? Or will she switch sides?
Financially, she should aid the South, but can she do that with a clear conscience?
It is a bit of a hindrance.

Rhiannon Aspenfell, an Ilvermorny Thunderbird from New Orleans, is brought into protective custody by the Order of the Phoenix. As she strengthens her magical powers and discovers ties to her mythological destiny, she also finds herself in a love triangle with Sirius Black and Severus Snape. (This is Book One in the Wizarding World Romance Series). **** CREDITS for all unoriginal characters, places, events, and dialogue to J.K. Rowling. CREDITS for chapter titles to lyrics by Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac. Original characters my own. **** ****MATURE CONTENT. Much like my original character, I make no apologies when it comes to sex. :) Prepare for mature content throughout. ****TIMELINE/NOTES: This is a love triangle- Sirius vs Severus x OC, set during the events of Order of the Phoenix. I've done my best to research dates and events to weave this story into the original, but please forgive me if I'm a bit off here and there. I also blend book and film together as it best fits this particular story and telling of the characters. The Sirius relationship starts out hot and heavy- Severus is more of a slow burn but worth it. **** Book 2 now up and complete: "Black As Night". Book 3 up and complete: "Soon All the Suns Will Rise" ***If you want to view the AESTHETIC board for this series, head over here: https://www.pinterest.com/sisterofthemoon0918/book-1-wizarding-world-romance/ *please vote & comment!

This book needs editing, the first chapters aren't very good, but the story gets better as you read on! There was only one thing that Amelia White needed to do. Be invisible and never draw the attention of five boys. She has been avoiding them ever since she knew who they were, and she's not planning to be part of the game those boys play. At least, that was the plan until her feet changed it for her. Bumping into Caine Williams is not exactly the way you stay unnoticeable for those boys. She detests an emotionless, narcissistic, and selfish asshole. He's the most attractive boy she's ever seen, but he has a terrible personality. Everything just seems like a joke to him. Hopefully, this journey of heated conversations and stupid fights turns out to be positive, and there's no need for any more hearts to shatter. Nevertheless, bad boys are unpredictable and dangerous, and there will be no insurance for broken hearts and unfixable relationships. But there's no need for insurance if the hate Amelia feels towards him is stronger than the tiny piece of possible love she feels in her heart, right? Caine will definitely regret opening the chase on her when he finds out it's not worth it. At least, that was what Amelia thought. Bumping into Caine Williams was certainly not the plan. That's the only thing that's for sure. Amelia knows that she can say goodbye to the plan of staying invisible, thanks to her clumsiness, and she'll have to say hello to his world with trouble and problems. You didn't think he would let her be, now would you? ©JosephineFlorence, All rights reserved

"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times. (First book in the Gilded series) ~•~ [#1 Streetracer - 4/21/21] [#1 Gangs - 9/16/21] [#1 Boxer - 9/12/21] [#1 Fighter - 12/11/21] [#2 Boxing - 9/3/21] [#1 Girlpower - 2/12/21]
