𝜗ৎ He grew up beside Eugene like a brother.
And now he finds himself longing for what he shouldn't even be looking at. 𝜗ৎ
In eighteenth-century England,
a young woman named Edith suddenly becomes a widow. And her late husband's family welcomes her into their noble residence.
Yet she does not belong to that world - neither by birth nor by blood.
And Jonathan Kennington reminds her of it.
Cold, rigid, and bound by the teachings and duties his surname demands, he despises her - and the fact that she once belonged to his cousin.
Yet those very feelings of resentment and hatred slowly begin to change...
transforming into a tension that draws them irresistibly closer.
Then Sébastien arrives: kind, charming, and seemingly perfect. A threat to the fragile connection between Edith and Jonathan, he makes her question everything she thought she wanted.
In a society where reputation is everything...
What is the true cost of following one's heart?

(COMPLETED) "I want to drown in you, Claudette, no damn blade can touch me and no rifle can shoot me down. I will always be crawling back to you on my knees-come battle or storm. Do you understand that?" ༄ 𝘼 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙍𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙪𝙨𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙧. 1770. Claudette Bardot loses everything she ever had, in the fire that erupts in The Groaning Goblet Tavern in her quaint town of Alsace where she worked with her two sisters-Paulette and Laurette-as a waitress. With the Prince of Beaumontria's monstrous curse withdrawn, his marriage to Belle, and the rogue city of Alsace brought under the kingdom of Beaumontria, the new era was supposed to be a new beginning. But not for Claudette. Part of the doll-like beautiful triplets formerly known around Alsace as the Bimbettes, the sudden fire at the tavern brutally destroys her life as Claudette knew it, killing her two sisters and the kindly tavern owner Monsieur Warrick, stealing her dreams, freedom and her voice. But when Alsace is visited by a group of the Prince's Royal Musketeers, and Claudette runs into the elusive and strong Marceau D'aureville, her despairing heart might just have found something else to beat for, on this cusp of her journey where unbeknownst to her, a curse awaits.

Winter's Rose ~A Beauty and the Beast Retelling~
'"Oh, William, there will be no heir. The throne will sit empty for years. Everything your father created will be gone. And you will not be able to stop it." She walked towards him, like the serpent in the garden. She touched her finger to his forehead, and leaned into close, "You will become the thing you fear the most; a monster who lurks in the night; a soul lost from its path. You will be blinded by your own fear. As time goes on--and it will go on--you will be trapped by your fear until it consumes you. You will forever be a monster, and you won't be able to stop it." "No," he clamored, "I'll overcome it, I'll fight it every day until I die." "Oh, my dear, you will not die. You will be immune to death--a monster today, a monster tomorrow, and a monster forever. A soul lost from its path can only be led back to the light, it cannot find its own path."' (The Two Curses) ~~ How can a person lead you back to the light when they are as blind as you?Complete
