Okay fans, I'm probably not done with this one, but losing interest in it, so I'm tentatively ending it, hope you like the final product. Luv y'all! ................James Arbruster, Duke of Thorngrove, had a moment of weakness when he laid eyes on the belle of the ball and let indiscretion rule over propriety or common sense. He had held her in his arms and kissed her fully, tasting of her silky white neck, but they had been caught....and to avoid her ruination with the ton, he had signed the betrothal agreement. That was two years ago, and he had not dared touch her or kiss her like that again. James had no desire to marry, for he had a lot of vices to give up yet, and the innocent Rebecca Worthington, daughter of the Earl of Pembroke deserved far better than the likes of a rogue like him. He would find her a husband deserving of her, and when she fell in love with him, he would have no problem being released from their contract. Problem was, in two years time, he had yet to find any man worthy of a beautiful angelic being like Rebecca. She deserved the very best, but he had to keep all the rest away from her, especially ones like himself! It was a constant battle keeping his hands off her, but he would not steal her treasure, he would preserve her for the man who actually deserved her...if there could be such a man.

Roommates with Benefits [COMPLETED]
Emma has sworn never to fall in love, but when circumstances force her to move in with her brother's best friend there are definite sparks. Like when he accidentally picks up her *toy*... Or when she walks in on him naked in the shower... Maybe... maybe they should just do it once... to get it out of their systems. Knightley has been her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. And now they're all at the same university. It's not until she moves into his apartment that she notices just how grown-up he's become. He's no longer the scrawny boy she never paid attention to. Ripped and handsome, he's no stranger to taking women home. But he never lets them stay the night. Knightley never expected this. Somehow, he's ended up living with his best friend's little sister. And she has turned hot as hell. He does not need the image of her with a vibrator taking up space in his head. She is off limits. Of course she is. No matter what kind of feelings he has for her. This is a brother's best friend, roommates-to-lovers with a secret relationship and steamy benefits. (❤️18+ recommended❤️) It's unedited, so there might be mistakes throughout. Thanks for your understanding! Book 2 in the Benefits series. This is a standalone, but it follows Pride and Hate with Benefits. (Both are inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma.)

The Submissive Wives Estate II
UPDATES MON & THURS🤍 At The Estate, every trial marriage begins with a contract. But not all end with love. Callie Shelsey has always been the bratty little sister. But after breaking her contract with Xavier, the one man who's ever put her in her place and in his heart, she learns sometimes you don't realize what you have until it's gone. She's about to discover that second chances don't come easy. Especially not when a mysterious new suitor is thrown into her orbit like a wild card. And Xavier's back in a new form-and he's not playing by the old rules. Callie wants to prove she can be good. But good girls get punished too. And this time? She might enjoy it. Audrina Frank was born to be obedient. Pretty, poised, and polished. After surviving a trial marriage to a man twice ribboned and leaving slightly humiliated, she meets a confident, eligible suitor with a punishing streak-a man with a shady past who needs a smokescreen. He's not here to fall in love. And Audrina? She might finally be done being perfect. Especially when submission starts to feel like the most dangerous desire of all. Meanwhile, Daniel Cross & Whitney Cherry are finally living their hard-won happily ever after. His rules are clear and their once-enemies dynamic has settled into something loving but disciplinary. Meanwhile, Levi Shelsey IV and his "little one", Charlotte are setting the gold standard in domestic discipline...as much as Levi's controlling tendencies and Charlotte's fierce independence can allow. In a world where punishment is tradition, old rules are crumbling and this generation is reinventing what true power exchange means.
Unexpected Love (Unedited)
'They sealed the deal by planning on getting you married to him...' Blake's words ran through her mind repeatedly. Kathleen's world comes crashing down when she finds out that her mom and dad arranged a marriage for her with none other than her rival since middle school, Nathan Heinrich. She never, once in her life, thought that she'd be married to Nathan. To add more ridicule to it, she hasn't seen him in the past 10 years nor is she planning to see him till their marriage or so she thinks. Nathan Heinrich is none other than your typical average player who has the whole world under his feet. With his charming good looks and sparkling green eyes, he could get any dame in this world. Not really into the thought of a married life with a wife and kids, he is the type who really wants to enjoy his bachelor life along with the playboy reputation. What if his parents thought that the best way to tame Nathan's playboy habits is to get him hitched to none other than his arch rival, Kathleen Holzknecht? She has got the money, the looks, the charm and everything, but why Nathan despises her is totally something ridiculous. With Kathleen storming into his life like a whirlwind, will Nathan change for good and leave all his habits of sleeping around and be the man of Kathleen's dreams or will bitter memories of past affect their life after marriage? Read more to find out what happens..... A/N This was my very first story on Wattpad, guys. This first few chapters would be short and not really...good, I'd say. There's an edited version of this story, if you can't handle grammatical errors and short chapters. On a lighter note, thanks for giving Unexpected Love a chance!Concluida

Love Me in Spite - [Aaron Hotchner x Reader]
You never thought the worst thing this town could throw at you was getting framed for murder, and even less likely, the only person who believed your innocence was someone you hadn't spoken to in over ten years. - *Okay so I want to preface this with the full disclosure that I do not have anything against Manassas Virginia (and I also know next to nothing about it so everything in here is most likely incredibly inaccurate) I just kind of ended up bashing the town as the story went along, my loves if you're from there I'm sure you're lovely I just made it seem low key suckish for purposes of the plot.* [This story is SFW! Lots of angst and hurt comfort but no smut] You can also find this story on my tumblr under @shmaptainhotchner or my AO3 mimita1211 :)Concluida
