Adelaide 'Ada' Woodhouse is on a mission.

After being kicked out of the girl's school in Scotland she was sent to, she prepares to return to her childhood home and her late father's estate in Cornwall to rebuild a new life away from the rules and regulations of Victorian Society and nothing and no one will stop her.

Free-spirited, fiercely independent and unorthodox, Ada soon finds her journey home is not a simple one. A train ride results in her meeting the dashing yet useless Louis Hatton, Earl of Nottingham who is returning home after finishing his own studies at the University of St. Andrew's. 

But their journey takes a detour when a hit-man is after the Earl and Ada regrettably decides to help him get to safety in Nottingham.

But it seems Louis is not the only one being searched for - Ada is a person of interest as her sudden departure from Scotland has caught the attention of the authorities, including her brothers - Emerson Woodhouse, the Viscount Porthleven and the famous detective Dr Theodore Woodhouse.

As her feelings for the useless Earl grow, she becomes more determined to get him to safety, but with the hitman right on their tails and unable to go to the authorities for help due to the investigation against her, Ada finds herself caught up in her own lies that risks the lives of all she holds dear, including Louis when the person responsible for the hits on his life might be closer than they ever anticipated.

the LEGEND of She-Cat by SEViolet

Duncan Conner was a man full of anger and anguish, having lost everything he loved, and nearly his own life. Living in self-imposed exile, he wasn't seeking out companionship, hoping to heal from the deep wounds of loss. What he found in the scorching heat of the desert sand would change his life forever...if he survived. ~~~ My slap caught his jaw, the echo of it bouncing back from against the rock, my palm stinging fiercely from the strength behind the blow. The next I knew I was looking up at the sky, ears ringing, shuddering waves of pain rippling from the side of my face. I had not even seen him move, but the rider had spared no strength in his instant retaliation. Dizzy, the world somewhat indistinct and whirling I did not resist when he reached down and again pulled me to my feet. I swayed and nearly fell but the man caught me, gently holding me in place until I could stand on my own. I looked at him, my eyes wide with astonishment, and he must have sensed how I felt because he shrugged. He knew I did not understand him, but he spoke anyway, his voice deep. "I told you I'd lay you out flat, and I don't speak for the pleasure of it."
