********************************
Lord Davenport wanted to see for himself the young debutante who had captured his cousin's heart. He didn't expect to fall for her himself. She was beautiful, but was she as pure as she looked? If so, why was she slinking off into dark corners with a mystery man at a monumental risk to her reputation? Why couldn't he get her out of his head? Ah, such thick, silky dark hair, pale alabaster skin, and lips that invited kisses and sin.  

All Lady Evelyn ever wanted was to uncover the mystery surrounding her illegitimate birth. It's a stain that haunted her all her life. But when she found herself married to the domineering and jealous Lord Davenport, he put a stop to her pursuit that's already placed her in danger. Undeterred, she continued to do so in secret. But her husband must have discovered her disobedience, for he turned cold and distant overnight. She couldn't have known the capricious stranger she married had unspeakable secrets he couldn't reveal. Desperate and confused, she sought help and advice where she could to win him back. Only the friends she trusted aimed to destroy her instead. 
  
Unbridled passion always exacts a heavy price. Friendships ruined. Familial bonds severed. How could happily ever after be possible when every smile hid hearts filled with duplicity?

Orabella | ✔️ by kxshintia

* Sequel to TBPEW * ¥¥¥¥ Years after all the drama between the Knight family, things are starting to look good for them. With the help from Cole's friend, Lukas, the two were able to prove that they could take over the family company. Meanwhile after the death of Orabella's father, Henry, she was watched over by one of Xavier's men and his wife. The two do nothing but make her feel suffocated, as if she can't live her life even at the age 22. As Orabella got older, all she could think about was her late father... and the man that murdered him. She then made it her goal to ruin the lives of both Xavier and his family. What happens when she applies for a job her friend suggested that is soon managed by Cole Knight himself? The man she once had a crush on as a child now stands in front of her with cold eyes. Will she continue on with the mission? Or will she leave it all in the past and move forward? ¥¥¥¥ Orabella's POV I knew just from looking at him, that the other next to him was Cole. He was tall. He had to be at least 6'3. He wore a black shirt that showed all of his muscles, standing with pride. His shoulders were broad. While the other guy's hair was styled neatly, his was more messy. In a good way of course. He had a few strands of his dark curly locks in his face. I would say that having a sharpe jawline runs in their family, him having stubbles on his face. His expression was blank and had a unusual coldness to it. I could practically feel the power radiating off of him. He seeked control. His nose was sharpe, lips plumped. I noticed the small scar going through his left eyebrow. When I looked back at his eyes I saw that he was already looking at me. I felt as my heart began to race slightly, me now feeling uncomfortable under his cold eyes. • • • • #6 plottwist - 09/22/23 #28 darkness - 09/24/23 #8 ex - 10/05/23 #1 jealous - 12/11/23

Addicted by BD_Connoll

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of. Not until he came along. With his tousled brown hair, lean muscular body and smile that ignited everything south of her body; he was unbearably attractive and intimidating to Alison.

As they embark on this journey together, Alison discovers her own desires as well as all the secrets Isaac keeps. You will become addicted to Addicted.

"She was a coveted enigma, a forbidden treasure whose allure was undeniable, yet, in some twisted fate, she was entwined with us..." ⋆.˚✮ 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬. ✮˚.⋆ This is a tale intricately woven with threads of betrayal, each chapter drenched in the vivid hues of crimson, a reminder of human sacrifice and the deep despair it breeds. Here lies a saga where trust flickers like a candle in the wind, a fleeting shadow that dances just out of reach, and every heartbeat reverberates with the weight of secrets that are far too heavy to carry. Despite the countless attempts to uncover the truth, everything inevitably gravitated toward the monstrous force that resided deep within the heart of it all. This lurking presence, a grotesque reflection of unspoken fears and concealed desires, looms over every decision and action, illuminating the true battle that rages within. Bonds were severed and reforged, the truth never sparing in its brutality-but they pressed on, entrapped by a toxic addiction that compelled the men to worship the very ground their women graced with their steps. This narrative is not a gentle stroll upon rose petals; instead, it is fraught with venomous thorns, sharp enough to drive the most resolute of hearts to madness. Will you dare to peel back the layers of this tale? Will you uncover the puppet master lurking in the shadows? If your answer is yes, then welcome to the house of The Rajwanshi, a place where wounds fester deeper than the scars of a tormented past. . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

Her feelings for Dimitri grows as she's forced to live with him, but her boyfriend, Mark, is someone her mother would be proud to see her with. Will her dreams change? Will she change? Excerpt: "Ask me nicely." His sultry voice twists my stomach in the best of ways. "Wha- what do you mean?" I mentally kick myself for allowing his power to rule me. This only builds his ego.

I take a step back from him so I can focus.
