Lingering Temptations.
Arabella Hastings and John Shelby were like lost angels, navigating the twists and turns of their own personal journeys. Each one carries their own set of dreams, hopes, and struggles, trying to find their way in this vast world.
Arabella's journey back to her old stomping grounds was filled with a mix of excitement and nerves. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to see John again after all this time. As fate would have it, their paths crossed once more.
This encounter was a turning point for Arabella. It made her reflect on her past, appreciate the present, and embrace the unknown future. Sometimes, endings can be beginnings in disguise, and only time will reveal the true outcome of Arabella and John's story.
For what is love without suffering?
Nothing.
After your father dies, you discover he left you in the care of the Shelby brothers. You're used to taking care of yourself. But soon you learn that's not necessary anymore, with the brothers and Michael all too willing to take care of you instead.
Slow burn. Smut. Apparently not a 'true' rh as Tommy becomes protective of how the others treat her in the harem (and I stand by it as he'd be ooc otherwise) so don't read if you have a problem with that. But poly to the end and bonus Ada joins the harem too.
