What would you give up to dive into your favourite story?

Romantic, sharp-tongued, with a tendency to fall in love with tall, dark-haired, brooding men--Leah is the archetype of the "Pride and Prejudice" fan. TV series, movies, comics, musicals: she has seen and read them all.

For her birthday, Leah's friends and family pool together to get her the ultimate Janeite gift: the Bridge, a virtual-reality gaming device.
By granting access to her five senses, she can live her favourite novel as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet!

As she explores Regency England and quarrels with the infamous Darcy, Leah cannot help but digress from the original plot to suit her modern-woman convictions.
The longer she plays, the weirder her beloved characters act, until the lines between fiction and reality blur.

Under Oath | BWWM by BlairsPen

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?

When her father and brother die in the Napoleonic Wars, Corinna Wolverstoke of Penninghall and her mother Liz are thrown at the mercy of the merciless man who takes over the title. Corinna has to steal to stave off genteel starvation, but she does it with style: She dresses up as a highwayman, using her soothsaying skills to find her victims. Highway robbery keeps the little family alive, but for how long? The price on her head weighs heavier than the gun in her hand. The days she holds up the Marquis of Demoral, she knows she's found her match. In more ways than one.

Bound by Prophecy by MelissaWrightAuthor

Aern's only job is to protect the chosen. The trouble is, she's the key to a prophecy and everyone wants her. Hiding a girl in the center of a secret war is tricky business, but when her sister shows up to take Aern hostage, all bets are off. A slim brunette in borrowed jeans should be the least of his problems, but there's something about Emily he just can't put to rights. And it's not her penchant for using hand tools as weapons or the fact that she seems immune to his sway. Everything about her screams run. But when he discovers she's working toward her own prophecy, he's got no choice but to keep her safe. It might have been easy, if she didn't think she was the chosen's protector. When the opposition descends, their only hope is to stick together, but the truth unravels, and together might prove the biggest complication of them all.

She's Whiskey In A Teacup | Min Yoongi x OC by inkedinterlude

A solo trip to Seoul was supposed to be a fresh start-a chance for Choi Hanni to reconnect with her late mother's homeland and begin her new life as an English teacher. What she didn't expect was to literally crash into her favorite idol, Min Yoongi, spilling his coffee... and unknowingly spilling into his world. What starts as a chance encounter turns into something more-a quiet pull, a late-night text, a home-cooked meal, a lingering touch that says more than words ever could. Yoongi, the ever-private, ever-controlled genius producer, finds himself drawn to Hanni in a way he can't explain. And Hanni, who's always been too understanding, too used to being an afterthought, finds herself at the center of something she never expected. But Yoongi's world isn't simple. And Hanni never wanted to be a burden. As their connection deepens, so do the challenges-hidden glances, whispered conversations, and a public life that demands secrecy. What happens when the line between an idol and a fan blurs? When two lives-so different, yet so alike-begin to intertwine? And when the one person who never asks for anything... is the one he wants to give everything to? 📚 Fictional story. I do not own BTS or their likenesses-just borrowing names to explore soft chaos, emotional healing, and the long road to love. 🛡️ All rights reserved.
