Year 1918.
All female servants are driven by curiosity. It's a common stereotype that redeems itself true by Isabelle Woodhouse, the loyal servant at the royal Buckingham palace. Among hundreds of servants, she finds a liking towards the American horse brusher, Richard Bobert. His lean figure, his kind, graceful eyes enchant her.
Which she grew too curious of, for her own good...
Is he really who he pretends to be? A man with an agreeable, simple demeanor?
And it sure isn't hard to have a liking towards the sweet girl that serves you homely soup every evening, at least that's what so called Richard felt, then. He realizes his immense feelings for her a tad bit too late when his masked actions put her in a place of confusion, even hatred, at times.
supporting a country, that wasn't his, and in terrifically illegal ways, through it's bloody war...
Adrenaline drives people, like Isabelle, to think that this makes a man even more dangerously desirable.
Is Isabelle supposed to protest against or stand with royality? Is it country or her passion for adventure?
For it's wrong to fall in love with a black shadow and it's scandalous past...
A thriller, that is sure curiosity yielding, will keep you flipping the pages.

King Henry
Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.

Paper Cranes
Published on Amazon! Link in my Bio. One test, only two results. Teague had everything a dominant could hope for: a loving family, freedom to chase any career, and the privilege of higher education. The only thing missing was a submissive to complete his life. But with mounting student debt threatening his future, he makes a bold choice-enlisting in the army to secure financial stability. It seemed like an easy decision at the time. After all, there hadn't been a war in years. Basic training, drills, maybe some security detail-he could handle a few years of service for the country he loved. What could go wrong? Then, war erupted. Thrown onto the front lines, Teague finds himself deep in the chaos, far from the secure future he once envisioned. His mission now: sweep through the war-torn, supposedly abandoned city of Duro. But as with everything in war, nothing is as it seems. Then there was her, a woman. Her fate had been sealed the second she came from the womb. As the fourth wife of a powerful lord, her life was a shadow-always the least favored, the least important, the least considered. Her only goal: survive another day. But when horrors tear through her home, she's forced into a choice that changes everything-one that leaves her with blood on her hands. Captured and taken behind enemy lines, she faces an impossible decision: who can she trust in a world governed by power and control? The ways of her captors seem so similar to her own people, yet Teague insists they are not.Complete

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

A Sense of Propriety
"After all the trouble I caused. After what I did to you . . . Did you really expect me to be able to look you in the eye?" Cordelia Sutton, young and gentle, has seen her fair share of tribulations in life. From the untimely death of her parents to the forced removal of one of her closest friends, she desired nothing more than a quiet life in the country. But with the insistent urges from a family friend to return to London, the pressure placed upon young ladies by society is difficult enough, even more so for Cordelia who finds herself coming face-to-face with a man she thought she would never see again. Now not only must she find a way to navigate the complex world of the pure bloods but also battle her own emotions pertaining to a certain Marquis. It is a difficult task for one so ignorant of the world to undertake, and one where a sense of propriety could very well mean the difference between life and death for a love once lost. ***All rights reserved.

Aah-s-stop, let go!" I cried, tears stinging my eyes. His eyes flicked down to my bare skin, a dark smirk tugging at his lips. "n-no stop" I cried "you shouldn't have disobeyed sweetheart" He pulled down my underwear as I screamed. Humiliation washed over me as i cried my eyes out. My vision blurred by my tears "N-no p-please s-stop this" He bend down next to my ear "Look at you, trembling like a good girl" "s-stop this p-please". I begged only to hear his chuckle. He stood behind me, the belt gripped tight in his hand, his breath steady-controlled. "Count," he ordered coldly. "Every. Single. One."
