Edmund Moore is a boring and reclusive man living off the generous charity of his wealthy, elderly aunt in his beloved, remote country home, "Bartrum Manor". His life is turned upside down however when his aunt informs him that unless he marries, she will remove him from the house and force him to reside with her. 

Reluctantly, Edmund marries Miss Mary Becket, the quiet and strange daughter of wealthy London socialites and the two of them settle into their new life, content to keep to themselves and away from nosy relatives, However, Edmund and Mary soon learn that securing their home will not be as easy as they thought, and unexpected guests will send them on a chaotic adventure across land and sea, where they must use the charm that DOESN'T come naturally to them to survive and hopefully make it back in one piece. 

This is a tale of stuffy dull Victorians, forced to endure royalty, pirates, exotic lands and tales of terrifying ghosts, all while learning how to endure each other and hopefully find a little bit of joy along the way.

HISTORICAL ROMANCE - ADULT CONTENT Ella Fitzpatrick is a beautiful young lady from a wealthy family. Her mother high and well respected in social circles. Her father the best doctor money could buy. Most women her age are already married with children, however, these marriages are often loveless and arranged to benefit social status. Ella wants to marry for love and she certainly doesn't love Andrew Shapel, the most recent gentleman of high standing to propose to her, much to the approval of her matriarchal aunt who is convinced she has found Ella the best husband in high society. Unfortunately she has sent her to her doom. Andrew may be devilishly handsome and charming on the outside but on the inside he harbours a darkness no one would suspect. She is left for dead on a pirate ship! Falling in and out of consciousness as she is dragged to the brig and left in the darkness with nothing but the painfully vivid recollection of how she got there as company. With the crew calling for her to be thrown overboard and saying a woman on board is a curse, she realises that she is at the mercy of the captain, who doesn't take kindly to stowaways on his ship. She is petrified and prepared to die but little does she know that from the very first moment Captain Thomas Tyler lays eyes on her he finally believed in love at first sight. Placing her under his protection, his anger directed towards those who used his ship as a way to dispose of their crimes. He promises to return her to her family and hopes in time that the memories that haunt her soul will fade. One thing he wasn't prepared for, protecting her from himself. A lady and a pirate is absurd! (NB) Written using modern day colloquialisms intermingled with historical essence.

𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 '𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞' 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 Once upon a time, in a faraway land- well, actually near the faraway land of fantasy of which we know much about- there lay a small country named Rihaaya. It was small in terms of its geographical borders but its population was vast and ever increasing, with the agricultural production (for that was the main means of livelihood) flourishing and growing leaps and bounds. It was not a young Land- it had lasted centuries upon centuries, and was ruled by a caring and clever Queen and her kind and benevolent King- but, due to some international worry, it needed the protection of a larger and stronger land. Naturally, the most reasonable thought to secure this protection the King and Queen had was that of a marriage alliance- for, that would guarantee protection and security for years and hopefully generations to follow. And they were most pleased once they received word from the High King of Narnia- who had seen the advantages of marrying into a bountiful Queendom that had an abundance of grains and natural resources- that they were willing to accept the alliance and union. Really, there were only two opposers to this idea. The bride and the groom. //// #1 in #edmundpevensie (25/06/2021) #1 in #thechroniclesofnarnia (29/05/2021) #1 in #cslewis #1 in #medievalfantasy (7/7/2021) #1 in #goldenage #1 in #kingsandqueens (9/06/2021) #1 in #naomiscott #1 in #narniaau (26/04/2021) #2 in #ocfanfiction #2 in #faeries (29/11/2020) #2 in #medievalfantasy (13/03/2021) #2 in #thegoldenage #3 in #kingsandqueens (5/04/2021) #7 in #narnia (out of 5K stories) (10/04/2022) •••• The Alliance Series, as found on @EdsGryff: 'Alliance' 'The Heirs' 'Moonshine' 'Fairytale?' ••••

Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts! . . . "There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you."
