"You know what they say about playing with fire?" I taunt him.

He looks at me while his lips form the most sinful grin I've ever witnessed.

"By all means, blaze away." 

-

Freya has seen more horrific things than most in her short lifetime. Even at 21, working in service as a maid in an esteemed household in the year 1910, her thoughts are still continuously plagued by her past. 

Magic is a banned word from her vocabulary. She knows more than anyone that it does not exist. However her new home on the Isle of Skye hides more than meets the eyes, and she has no choice but to entertain the impossible.  As secrets unravel while she tries to understand what is happening to her, she has to turn to an unlikely ally for help.

Nathaniel is the infuriating valet with a carefree attitude who everyone warns her to stay away from. A serious magnet for trouble with a past she believes might be more similar to hers than she is willing to acknowledge. Freya was determined to keep him at arm's length, however, he has a strange addiction to her fiery temper, and is hell bent on keeping her close. 

While navigating this new unusual dynamic, she finds herself juggling her new duties and new loyalties as what she discovers threatens everything she thought she knew about the world. Turns out she might not be as alone as she believed. 

What happens when magic finds itself in a world where it does not belong? Well, whatever the answers lay for her to find, she is not cowering away this time. This is the time to find herself. This, is finding Freya.

A/n : This is a slow-burn, fantasy intrigue, enemies to lovers trope. Your patience will be rewarded ;) There will be a book 2!

"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." . . . 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!
Mine, all Mine (Book 1) (Mature 18+) by UntameableBeauty
22 parts Complete Mature
Seven years ago, Tristan Knight walked away from the love of his life, Serenity Harris, without a word or a backwards glance. No goodbye. No Dear John letter. No words of apologies or excuses. She'd woken up one morning to an empty bed, her body sore; her hair wild and unkempt from their tempestuous love-making the night before. That night had been the first time Tristan told her he loved her. Their courtship had started fast. It took four hours for him to get her into bed and take her virginity and one night for her to fall head over heels in love with him. The year leading up to their final night together had been full of twists and turns, ups and downs. But she'd thought they had finally gotten to a place where they full understood and valued one another. So what happened? Why did he leave? And why had he come back today of all days? Her wedding day. To his former best friend and band mate, Nyle Wentworth. Nyle has been there for Serenity ever since Tristan left her heart in irrepairable pieces. Nyle loved her back to life and in spite of her love for Tristan, she found herself drawn to him. Now they're about to get married. Nyle won Serenity fair and square and he doesn't feel bad about actively pursuing her, falling in love with her, marrying her, or spending the rest of his life with her. He and Tristan were friends but that's all in the past. And that's where he intends to keep it. All Serenity wants to do is to marry Nyle, be happy, and go on with her life but the reappearance of the love of her life is making that more than difficult. Tristan is back, he wants what's his, and he doesn't care who he has to destroy or kill to have it. Now that Tristan's back, Serenity finds herself torn between what her heart wants and who her head knows is the better choice. **For mature audiences only (18+)
The Five Cursed Witches: Volume 3 - Morana, the Witch of Life by High_Priestess_Elena
101 parts Complete Mature
Morana knows she's different from other people in more ways than one. Firstly, she's sixty-seven years old but stopped ageing in her twenties. Weird things have also happened around her right after she's wished for it. But most importantly, no matter how she acts, people feel uncomfortable around her. Unfortunately, she has no way of finding out why all of this is since she was abandoned as a baby. A shocking event makes her cross paths with Alejo, a male witch who has issues trusting other witches. But when it comes to Morana, he feels comfortable and at ease, as well as attracted to her. They are, however, not mates, and as such, he knows that any romantic relationship between them is doomed to fail. To not risk losing her, he therefore does all he can to fight his own feelings. [Can be read without having read volume one and two] ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence (magical mainly, but some that's rather bloody), death, attempted rape (happens in chapter 42 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fairly none-descriptive, focus is on emotions, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), abuse both physically and verbally - mention of past child abuse. There is no self-harm, however, there are certain aspects that might still be triggering in that regard. If you ever have any questions about the content and potential triggers, feel free to reach out to me. I'm more than happy to specify more if need be. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (ongoing) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love

ROSES AND RUIN by Nef_3rtiti
11 parts Ongoing Mature
"I've had enough of your games," He growled, sending an involuntary shiver up my spine. "For the last time, who... the fuck... are you?" The demand had his voice dropping a pitch lower with each word and it suddenly got harder to breathe. A ripple of anxiety began a slow crawl up my spine, and I moistened my lips. "I- I'm Willow, Julie's girlfriend?" Why was I nervous all of a sudden? "Again with this shit, I don't care who the fuck your little girlfriend is. What do you want?" ~•~•~•~ Following her father's passing, Willow Macomber and her family were plunged into the harsh realities of poverty, where they struggled to make ends meet while burdened with debt. Saddled with a neglectful mother consumed by addiction and betrayed by a world that preyed on the vulnerable, Willow's once fragile heart hardened over time, leading her to develop a deep mistrust of men and seek solace with a woman who offered the love and security she longed for. Unbeknownst to Willow, Julie's deception poses a grave threat, entangling her in a complex web of deceit. Enter Dorian Wilhelm-White: ruthless, self-absorbed, volatile, and strikingly handsome, Dorian embodies everything Willow despises. Yet from their very first encounter, she was his, whether she liked it or not; and against his better judgment, Dorian is drawn to her fierce defiance with a passion. Sparks fly despite their stark differences, and attraction, unlike anything before simmers beneath the surface of their anger and suspicion. However, Dorian harbors his own darkness, and Willow soon comes to realize that giving in to him may come at a steep price... But is it one she's ready to pay?
I Need To Exchange My Demon, Please by JaideHarley

Marcus narrowed his eyes at her and brought a hand up, tangling his hand in her hair and tugging on it so she was looking up at him. "You're asking for it, Mila. I could have you moaning my name and begging for more in seconds," he said, squeezing her ass and rubbing himself against her. Mila inhaled sharply and let out an involuntary whimper, craving to be closer to him, with nothing in the way. "You're all talk," she said breathlessly. "All talk, no action. You talk too much," she said, looking up at him with darkened eyes. "I'll believe it when I see it." Marcus growled, planting another hard kiss on her lips, pinning her to the wall with his body as his hands slid down lower on her ass, fingers curling around her inner thighs and getting dangerously close to where she was already wet for him. "You're going to eat those words, Mila," he said against her lips, pushing off the wall and carrying her towards the bedroom. "You're going to eat them while I fuck you so good you scream my name." Mila is desperate for money. So desperate she is willing to do anything to get it and has tried most things. She reaches the end of hope that she will get the the necessary amount in time to take care of the person who needs it, until she remembers her life insurance. The life insurance she gets through her work could cover everything, the only issue being it requires her death and a suicide-clause means she can't do it herself. Desperate enough to sacrifice her life, she finds hiring someone to do it too expensive and one night while drunk, she turns to her superstitious roots and tries to summon a demon to do the deed for her. Several failed attempts later, she's surprised to discover it actually worked, and a surprisingly attractive demon named Marcus is standing in her living room, refusing to accept her request and sparking a lot of feelings she wasn't expecting to have for a demon from hell. this book comes down Nov 1st, then only on patreon
