Dangerous Machinations chronicles the lives and loves of Lady McPherson and Guy Templeton, two characters who couldn't appear more different and yet are bound together by a complicated twist of fate. Lady appears to be the ultimate Beverly Hills 'housewife.' With a fabulous career, a brilliant husband, and three precocious children, Lady has it all. So why then is she so unsatisfied? Guy is the dashing scion of one of England's most prestigious families. The exploits of his friends and family are the stuff of Tatler magazine and every girl's (and guy's) fantasy. But somehow, lately things haven't gone well for Guy. He's on the run from the Russians, Interpol is investigating him, and he can't remember how he washed up in Goa with a suitcase containing $50,000 in American, British, and Russian currencies. With an international cast of characters and locales, set pieces and plot twists that are guaranteed to keep you turning the pages, Dangerous Machinations is a little bit Jackie Collins, a little bit James Bond, and whole lot of fun.Conceived and written as a multi-part serialized novel, Part One is initially publishing to Amazon Kindle on February 14, 2015 with subsequent parts publishing every month or two thereafter. It will also be available via other e-book retailers very soon.  Check it out on Twitter: @DM_novel and on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DangerousMachinationsNovel

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

After a major betrayal and heartbreak, the heir of the largest business empire in Thailand had to make a split-second decision to save the empire from crumbling. His situation led him to a young boy desperate to save his family. What was apparently thought to be a potential liability turns out to be their strongest alliance. Since English is not my mother tongue or first language so, please bear with me. This story is completely my work of imagination, hence other than the characters there is no connection to the actual KinnPorsche novel. Thanks Enjoy WARNING: Its basically a romance novel with occasional scenes of violence, action, assault, blood and torture. It's also full of light hearted content, romance and fluff. There are mature sexual contents also. TRIGGER WARNINGS WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE BEGINING OF EACH CHAPTER. NB: I will be updating once or twice a week. Disclaimer: The pictures and characters are not my creation. They all belong to the rightful owners. Only the storyline is my own creation.

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

The Devil's Daughter (Devil's Right Hand MC #4) by Mack_2024
40 parts Complete Mature
Chrissy Martinez is lost, but not the kind of lost that a GPS will fix. She's the kind of lost that takes years of therapy or a trip to one of those spiritual retreats to fix. At 19, she had no idea what her place would be in the world, but she could manage. With her mama and sister by her side, she kept her head down and worked a shitty job to hold the family together. That is, until her whole life came crashing down when her mother died and she lost the safeguard of her home in the same week. Wandering lost in a world without her shepherd, she knows her snarky attitude or quick wit cannot save her from this, she needs a map. And maybe, just maybe, she finds the very map she needs while cleaning out her mother's closet. Maybe, that map is in the form of a birth certificate. ---------- Skillet Lawson is the club goofball. His reputation for inappropriate comments and deadly sarcasm make him a staple in the Franklin chapter of The Devil's Right Hand MC. To some, his child-like banter and carefree nature may seem immature, but to Skillet, this is the epitome of maturity. Nothing is more mature than seeing all the shit the world has to offer and sticking your middle finger up at it. His life is pretty damn good now. He's got everything he could ever want. But what happens when the mysterious girl with curly hair and a bag full of secrets catches his eye? Now, the man who never takes anything seriously develops serious feelings for the beauty with a secret identity, even though he knows he shouldn't. Can Skillet resist the gorgeous forbidden fruit? Or will he fall under the spell of the devil's daughter? ------ Disclaimer: This is the fourth book in my Devil's Right Hand Series. While I recommend reading these books in order, this can be read as a stand-alone.

"That means you're coming with me too then." He groans, bringing a hand up to his forehead and rubbing it in exasperation. "Excuse me?" My chest puffs up indignantly. "I don't think me or this baby will be going anywhere with you." "Ever since he was born, he and the mother have been in danger." He snarls as he comes up to my face. "And now that you've found him, your life is in equal danger." I blanch. Shaking my head, I slap down my impending terror. "Your point?" The foreboding man leans forward and switches his gaze between me and the slumbering child in my arms.
