To save their society from falling apart at the hands of their greedy ruler, two of London's youth will go to any and all lengths. 
Tawny Mattingly and her partner-in-crime Bentley Evans are thieves. They've adapted to the injustices of living in the Great Britain of the late 2800s, from the sporadic tax collections to the brutality of the king's men who line the streets. But when a chance meeting with three helpful allies inspires a revolution, the two become dangerously attached to the illusion of a pristine and perfect way of life.  And still, sacrifice after sacrifice is made to no avail. Tawny is left shattered, and so is her nation. 
Adamant, Tawny is caught between continuing the battle and letting her despair consume her. Her odyssey is a difficult one, but she's determined to see it through, to the very end.

Of Blood and Duty by WhiteGoldFangs

Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!

Be Alright by amberbrielle

[completed] "What's wrong? What's wrong is that no matter how hard you try and convince me that I'm what you want, I can't believe you. I see the way you look at him.

A Plaything for the Dragons by annablazer

❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much to lose in the war of Dacva, but it left me scarred for the rest of my life. I'm just a red female dragon, scraping by from one day to the next in the Banished realm by doing petty crimes. It's enough for my meagre existence. But when I went from petty crimes to attempting an assassination on the sleeping princess out of sheer desperation, it didn't end well. When I'm caught and interrogated by the banished Kings, I must do everything to keep them from finding out the truth of my lineage. However, it gets harder with the two Banished Kings constantly breathing down my neck and taking too much interest in my scars and my scales. Before I know it, I'm their plaything, and they seem to find it hard to keep their hands off me and each other. As much as it tempts me to bare myself to them completely for them to claim every inch of me, I need to keep my secret. Once they find out about my lineage, it would turn into the bloodiest war the dragons have ever fought. I don't want another war, but with the Banished Kings wanting to possess more than my body, a war seems inevitable. How long can I stall the inevitable? I have fought a bloody war before; I could fight another if needed. But with my secrets unravelling and the fate playing a silly joke with me again, would the Kings accept me after learning my truth? Or would they reject me and toss me away after having their fill of playtime with me? ~ A stand-alone book. Themes: mxmxf (everyone does everyone), slow burn, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape.

A Tale of Two Thieves by MoriYuki

Please enjoy this exclusive excerpt from A Tale of Two Thieves, book 1 of my forthcoming steampunk romance quartet! *** Welcome to the world of A Villainous Affair, a sensational steampunk romance saga about villains and heroes, rich and poor, science and justice, and the breathtaking power of love. The tale begins with an unlikely pair of thieves who cross paths on one fateful day in a poverty-stricken metropolis.... Once upon a time in Victorian London, lowborn thief Ruby Darling rescues Nathan Harlow, a gentleman fugitive inventor on the run from his murderous uncle. Nathan must prevent his groundbreaking aether device from falling into the wrong hands, while Ruby craves wide-scale social reform to help the country's destitute people. To ensure mutual success, they strike a deal-her protection in exchange for his technical wizardry to achieve her goal of conquering England. But Ruby has one condition-their partnership will end as soon as they overthrow the Crown. With millions of lives at stake, she can't let friendship or romance derail her mission. Nathan agrees even though he's already hopelessly in love with her. A new identity will help shield him from the authorities, so he proposes a fake marriage. Impressed by his sensible idea, she agrees. Ruby is dirt poor, so first they need to amass a fortune and build a criminal empire. Meanwhile, the League of Vigilance-a citizen anti-crime force led by the intrepid, poleaxe-wielding Eleanor Marson-is on the hunt to capture Nathan and return him to his uncle's evil clutches. The stage is set for a thrilling adventure as Ruby and Nathan Darling embark on a fantastical journey to gain unrivaled power in the underworld and beyond. Yet navigating their unconventional relationship proves just as challenging as their wildly ambitious mission, with many treacherous waters ahead of them.
