Born in the early 19th Century as an English commoner, Mildred exists to plough a lone family-less furrow without any explanable reason. Condensed into the shadows of aristocracy, both her only best friend -- Nancy Mcberthane and her reside under the cordial welcome grounds of the Louvelaire estate. To the critique eyes of the upper class, both Mildred and Nancy are servants but to the Louvelaires - loyal friends. When a member of the Louvelaire family singles Mildred as family, her ears fill with secrets deeper than blade wounds and deadlier if re-told by another.
Mildred's eyes open to the illusions of alchemy,a course entwined by romance, bloodshed and the devilry. Sucked into a parallel society narrated by Lady Francis, Mildred must wield her sword of rebuked honour and slice through the charming deceit of Clock Town to recover her true memories of her family. In this battle between wit, mind and lost love, will Mildred ever find out who she really was or will her adventure be in vain?

The Professor's Girl
Nova Quinn doesn't kneel for anyone. At eighteen, she's inherited grief, money, and a one-way ticket to Hellridge College-a place known for its elite programs, brutal professors, and whispered warnings. She arrives in black leather, messy bun, and sacred rage. She doesn't want friends. She doesn't want love. She wants silence. But the Vale Brothers don't leave things silent. Lucien, Ronan, and Kai are professors with reputations carved in fear. Sadists in suits. They speak to no one. Look at no one. Until Nova blasts music in their lecture hall and refuses to shrink. She's chaos wrapped in ink and pain. They're control wrapped in dominance and ritual. And when she's hurt, they don't ask questions. They act. What begins as protection turns into obsession. What starts as punishment becomes sacred. Nova doesn't submit easily-but when she does, it's not just to one man. It's to all three. The Professors' Girl is a dark, emotionally charged BDSM standalone about grief, power, and the kind of love that doesn't ask-it takes. Three sadist professors. One leather-clad rebel. This isn't a romance. It's a reckoning.Complete
