As the season closes in 1810 and Susanna prepares to return home to Hertfordshire unattached, she meets the very man who will indeed change her life forever.

But there is more to this man than meets the eye, and their meeting sets in motion a series of events that will undoubtably change society as they know it forever.

"I will kill us both, just to make sure that no one else can touch you if I couldn't. Do you hear me, Elysanthe? This world will not fucking have you with anyone else but me, I will raze it all if it tries to.

As whispers of a similar attack rise from a rival kingdom, Elysanthe's world, as well as her already shattered heart, begins to unravel. Caught between duty and desire, hope and heart's torture, Elys must uncover the truth behind the fires that threaten to consume both kingdoms, even if it means coming face to face with the crown prince of that rival kingdom-the thirty years old Prince Varric Desai-who once broke her like glass. With an ancient power awakening from the shadows and old rivalries fracturing under a new threat, the fate of Starcrest-and all she holds dear-hangs in a delicate balance.

Pink Is The Color Of Infatuation by Ophelia_is_Knightly

Alexander Hugh was his grandfather reincarnate except for one thing...he was much more lustful. His quiet, calm demeanor gave those around him the illusion that he was exactly what he seemed. Handsome...harmless but little did they know that beyond his demeanor and his striking good looks was a man filled with carnal expectations, a raging libido and a heart bright as gold. Xael Beckwith was on a mission. A mission she did not agree with but a mission nonetheless. She was a happy, friendly person with eyes that sparkled and an avid love for the sun and all things warm. But when her family runs out of money not only is her home in jeopardy but her families name and reputation as well. When the two collide will love prevail or will they be too different to allow love to reign?

𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓; 𝐈'𝐌 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒; eloise bridgerton ² by hexterya

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 that some bonds are as inevitable as the tides, drawing one and one together despite the constraints that bind them away from each other. Some cannot be escaped, others do not want to escape. But then there is society, and though evolving, it is certainly demanding of compliance. I ask you, from an unopened letter: Can the gravity of an undeniable connection be labeled as wrong? As fruit of insanity? Perhaps some truths are destined to remain shrouded in mystery, but Siena DeLuca and Eloise Bridgerton cannot, for crying out loud, endure ignorance, and much less impotence. If the world refuses to see them through gentle eyes- or accepting ones, simply- then they would damn right assure that they would find a way to wreak havoc raucous enough to earn the disdain. Because to love in secrecy is a burden, an exhausting endeavor even for those restless as them. But it is also a world too old to remain unchanging, a world too entrenched in tradition. So, when does one seize the moment to ignite revolution? When does one know it is the right moment to set in motion a scheme so grand it is meant to redefine existence as we know it? BOOK 2 OF THE: 『 BETWEEN THE FOLDS OF MY LETTERS 』SERIES!
