But, when WW1 begins, she and her darling husband are driven apart by the war. James has promised to return to Victoria, but it's a promise he might not be able to keep.

WARNING: THIS BOOK IS CUTE, HOT, SWEET, SEXY, ROMANTIC, MUSSY, DRAMATIC, EMOTIONAL, INTENSE. Beware. EXTRACT (SUMMARY BELOW): “Like father, like son” The truth of the words hit me then. A cruel smile caught up with me. Somewhere at the back of my head, I couldn’t believe what I had just said, but I refused to let the guilt creep into me. If I called him huge before, I didn’t know what I should be calling him now. His entire six and a half foot frame began expanding animistic-ally. Charging like an angry bull, he reached me in two long strides. His eyes budging in fury. As suddenly as he started, he stopped. “You said what?” “Monster” I whispered back. But unwillingly my eyes dropped on the floor. No he did not scare me, but I could not bring myself to look into his eyes after what I just said to him. Nonetheless, he was a monster. Next thing I know, his large rough hands pulls my waist to his torso. Shocked, I looked at him. My eyes flared at his, my eyebrows raised in aftershocks. I flinched at his touch, but his arm kept me in place. I couldn’t no longer read his eyes. He used his free arm to grip my chin and pull it until my neck stretched back, until I looked directly at him. “Say that again” he repeated. ***########*** Curiosity kills the cat. She had never expected the cost of peeking into a stranger’s room to be her freedom. Rosaline James was what we might call a goody-two-shoe. Her dream trip to England gives her more than she bargained for. Fun, excitement she was expecting, but what she never expected was to fall under the mercy of a monstrous possessive billionaire. Nathan Hamilton. She is certain that dangerous trip to London and back to America under the ruthless Hamilton heir would make her experience heights of hatred. But yet why does it feel like she has instead found the key to love? --------------------- FOLLOW ME TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE BOOK.

"You're joking.", I asked in pure disbelief. His eyes held the answer I didn't want to see. The look of regret. "I'm sorry darling. But the marriage will be fulfilled. If I can just tear this contract apart, I will. But I have no choice. I love you Lesley. So much that I would die just to take your hands on the altar and call you my wife,but that woman planned it all.", he said in pure honesty as he stepped closer. I stood in place trying to register what he said. So. This is over now. I lost my senses and did the unexpected. I slapped Granger hard while taking Clay in my arms.

"I never believe in love. A woman meant nothing to me except a companion in bed," says Blake Iversley. Blair chuckles. He mocks, "You just taunted Cupid, Bro. Love would struck you soon. You just tempted fate." "Stop, not you too. Bianca kept saying those stupid phrase too. You don't see me falling in love with a stupid woman. Did you?" ***** Yo!" calls James. Blake sighs. He is in really bad mood this morning. Seeing James only made it worse. James has been a regular visitor lately. Sometimes he even spends his nights here. Blake complaints, "Why can't you just go home? Your brother's manor just few blocks from here." James looks around. He's glad Fiona hasn't waken up yet. James says, "I need an advice. You see I'm in love with a woman. And I want to marry her. The thing is...I broke her heart many years ago. How could I win her back?" Blake curses. He asks irritatedly, "Do I look like a love advisor for you?" "You're right. You're a bachelor like me. I bet even your love life is even drier than mine." James just strolls away. Blake feels very irritated. If James has stayed here, he would have earned a punch or two again. ***** Two handsome men who don't believe in love. What if love finally slapped them on their faces? The last book in Iversley series. You could read it separately from the other books. Book#1 Black widow (Iversley#1) Book#2 Scandalous Governess (Iversley#2)
