It's 1856 in New York City, New York. It's the season, you can smell crops, flowers, and the stench of slavery in full swing. Follow the journey of Rachael Farris, a 13 year old slave girl to her master's, James and Lillian Broening, one of the wealthiest farming families in New York. Their youngest daughter, Margaret, tries to befriend Rachael, even knowing her status is greater than her slave's. It's wrong to be friends, it's wrong to even have a good conversation with a slave, but why is it so hard to change people's minds on the way they view fellow humans?

The Sun and it's Darkness (Completed)
"Mommy am I your child?" My mom looked down and chuckled at me. "Of course you are Theo." She said continuing to cut the vegetables that I hated. "Then why do we have different skin?" I blurted. I was five at the time and I didn't know any better. "Who said that?" She asked looking at me concerned. She knew I wouldn't have thought that on my own. I was always perfectly happy with everything. "This kid Matt. He said his mommy thinks you're weird because we're two different skins." I said coloring in my book. "Well don't listen to what people say. Love doesn't discriminate." She told me sternly. I took her advice. Highest rank: #6 in interracial #2 in interracial-romance # 3 in sexualthemesComplete

His Dirty Little Secret
"My Love, I apologise and beg for your pardon a thousand of times" I rubbed her beautiful strong current hair. Lillian turned her head and saw the healer rubbing a heat stone on pale skin, "Just set me free Theo" she whispered before her eyes closed. "I can't Lillian, I am selfish with you" I kissed her head thousands of times, she was the women I wanted to marry, she was the women to be the mother of my child. "Your Majesty, she needs a lot of resting, shall we take her upstairs?" The healer asks. "Yes, place her in my chambers- make sure your Queen knows nothing of this" I commanded when two guards lifted up her body and walked up the stairs. "You love her your majesty?" The healer asks. "I do" I admitted. "Don't mind me saying your Majesty, but she is clearly in pain. Why won't you just let her live her life?" he looks at me. "Because she mine and only mine, no other man will see her bare or love her like I do." I growled red hot anger burning through my head if I thought of my beauty in the arms of another man. ---- Highest ranks - #24 in Historical Fiction- 13/06/2016 #14 in Historical Fiction- 13/07/2016 #13 In Historical Fiction- 10/04/2017 Bad spelling and Grammer, please don't hate I will improve in time.Complete
