Set against the backdrop of London's dangerous East End in 1888, Victorian propriety and passions collide when a beautiful widow makes a wager with a wounded police detective bent on solving the Ripper mystery.
Unlucky in love and estranged from his family, Detective Sergeant Benjamin Quinn is obsessed with solving the Ripper crimes. When he’s suspended from the Metropolitan Police, it’s another failure in a long line of disappointments. But a new mystery arises when a beautiful widow shows up at the most infamous pub in Whitechapel seeking his help. He’s determined to assist Kate Guthrie, and equally determined to quell his growing attraction to her.
Kate Guthrie hides painful secrets from her first marriage and has avoided matrimony for nearly ten years. Now she’s finally decided it’s time to remarry and move on with her life, even if it means giving up the charity clinic work in Whitechapel that makes her days worthwhile. But when a battered young woman turns up at the clinic claiming to have been attacked by Jack the Ripper, Kate seeks out Detective Sergeant Benjamin Quinn, a man who sparks feelings in her too potent to deny.

John The Ripper
A lengthy story I've been working on with a mixture of horror, classic tales, & slash. ORIGINAL TALE: Jack The Ripper. A true story about a gruesome serial killer in the year of 1888 murdering 5 prostitutes, fucking with police, but was never caught. THIS tale: John Lennon is a skilled serial killer with a gruesome record. He scopes prostitutes and mercilessly kills them for his sick enjoyment. But what happens when he spots a handsome, young detective that drops his jaw? (McLennon, duh) Warnings: Language, Violence, gruesome content, mentions of sex, and light slash A/N: I took some content out of the true story of Jack The Ripper, such as small portions of real letters he actually wrote and dates. Enjoy...Concluída

Till Death Do Us Part
In 1888, a series of murders creates an atmosphere of panic in London. But not everyone feels the same: Miss Holy Gray has intelligence, heritage, beauty, and above all, curiosity. As the death toll in Whitechapel rises, Holy's interest in the tragic crimes grows, and with the help of Count Henry Gray, her twin brother and secret lover, the girl begins to visit the crime scenes to paint the mutilated figures of the women who perished under the blade of the mysterious killer. Meanwhile, news of Henry's impending and unexpected marriage puts the twins' relationship to the test -- and Holy feels pressure to find a suitor for herself. Her fate thus crosses that of Dr. Jack Fraser, and the attraction between the two is immediate and intoxicating. But as the couple's relationship deepens, Miss Gray must confront Jack's darkest nature while dealing with her brother's jealousy, possessiveness, and secrets, as well as the unwelcome presence of her future sister-in-law, Cassandra. Driven by her passions, Holy embarks on an irreversible journey among assassins, nobles, doctors, and evildoers, each at the mercy of their own perverse psyches and unique morals, to discover not only where her heart lies, but also what her true nature is, and how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves, while fulfilling her most disturbing and intimate desires. #JackTheRipper #1888 #London #CriminalRomance #Thriller
