 Two lovers are torn from each other by their feuding families.

When Duncan Buchanan and Isobel Porter met at a masquerade ball, they thought they'd found someone to change their distaste for matrimony. When their mothers tore them out of each other's arms, they found themselves trapped between two feuding families, each matriarch willing to destroy the other, even at the cost of their children's happiness.
Duncan and Isobel knew nothing of their families' hatred for each other, nor did they care to become involved with whatever scheming acts of revenge their mothers are planning. Willing to sacrifice everything they have just to be together, they arrange an assignation. Nothing could prepare them for what happened in the churchyard that night though, driving them from town and each other.

Heartbroken by their year of separation, and the rumours about his indiscreet associations, Isobel is hesitant to employ Duncan on her cattle station. Had his mother sent him here to use his seductive charms to take what she felt was owed to her?

Having spent the last year drowning his sorrows in a whiskey bottle, Duncan was confused to discover Isobel was his new employer, eager to involve him in the running of her station. Why would she allow him back into her life after so long? Was this some trick instigated by her mother to ruin his family?

As Duncan and Isobel continue working together, they can no longer ignore the love they once felt for each other, the intense raw emotion again burning so close to the surface. Will their families finally allow them a chance to be together? Or will the two lovers be separated once and for all?

Imagine to the End by Jady_Austayne

Three friends. Three families. Ruthless struggle for power. And love, stronger than any challenge. This is a story about childhood friendship that life cut short, love that will be put to the most difficult test by a family tragedy, conflicts in the cruel business world, and family secrets that will forever change the lives of the heroes. After six years, Eddie and Emma meet again at the wedding of their best friends. They are still haunted by painful memories of their parting, after the death of Emma's father, police inspector Harry. Eddie's anger at the sudden breakup without any explanation did not abate. He still carried Emma's picture, which he once found in the amphitheatre at the Faculty of Law, and the memory of a coincidental meeting at Niko's cafe after a spilled cappuccino has not faded. After her father's murder, Emma spent years trying to find peace. As soon as the opportunity to return to White Port appeared unexpectedly, she realized that she could no longer run away and that she would only find peace if she found out who was responsible for her father's death. At the same time, she was excited but also afraid of meeting Eddie again. When she left him six years ago, it seemed like the only thinkable decision. Although she was certain that Eddie was not involved in the murder, she feared that people close to him were involved. Despite everything, she was still wearing the necklace that Eddie had given her. What will the reunion between Emma and Eddie look like? Will Emma manage to find any clue that will tell her in which direction to investigate? Will Eddie and Emma manage to fight for their love and overcome all the obstacles they encounter?

Fragments of a Broken Timeline [Book 3] by tater_t0t3

"I'm not angry because you dragged me into this whole time traveling mess, I'm angry because you lied straight to my face..." In a perfect world, everyone would be happy with the hand they're dealt, but more often than not, that just isn't the case. After discovering that Sly has faked his amnesia, Rae is beyond livid with him to the point where she doesn't even want to work with him, much less be near him. However, when their family timeline is in peril, Rae now has no choice but to bite the bullet and work with Sly and the gang on this one, but with a slight twist. Bentley has created a time machine so that they can travel through time and restore these strange anomalies before their family history is forever corrupted by the likes of a man who goes by the name of Ceril Le Paradox. Now, forced to tag along on another adventure involving time travel, Rae must resolve her differences with Sly if they ever wish to repair their fragmented timeline. However, what happens when Sly gets tired of playing this game with her, and what secrets will be revealed once he finally confronts her about it? In a story filled with drama, unexpected twists, and an unintential betrayal, the gang must travel through time in order to repair the timeline, otherwise their future may be corrupted for the worst. Disclaimer: I do not own Sly 4: Thieves in Time or its characters, only mine and any changes to the story. Will follow the events of the fourth game, and will contain mature content, such as violence, string language, and other mature themes, so as always, viewer discretion is advised. Sly/Oc. Second sequel in series/third book. Read Black Rose and A Thief's Honor in order to understand details. Also, I do not own cover art or any images used in story. Original art belongs to their respectable owners, and as for Bob's speech pattern, I am actually going to have him speak normally since the mammoths do in that time period just so everything makes more sense.
