GENRE: PERIOD ROMANCE, GRUMPY-SUNSHINE ARRANGED MARRIAGE, CARETAKER-HEALING TROPE.

The Duke of Sherards knew fear when he saw it. It was sheer, blind terror that he saw in the eyes of Lady Evangelina when she showed up in the middle of the night at Sherards Manor with the most incredulous proposal: That of marriage. 

"I dare not ask this of anyone else, for I am aware that the minute my father comes knocking at their doors asking for me, they will relinquish me like property back to its rightful owner. I do not ask for your love for I know I will need to earn it. I am here to ask you for mercy, if you have any, for a woman who seeks to fight for herself before her soul is snatched from her body by her own." 

She asked for sanctuary and for him to become her husband and protector. He agreed, not because she was terrified, but because her fear bothered him for the first time in a long time. Or maybe just because he needed a saving grace just as much as she did.Todos los derechos reservados

A Marriage Most Inconvenient de zeen2805

Forced into marriage by duty and obligation, The Duke and Duchess of Rothbury parted ways a week after saying their vows under the explicit understanding that theirs was a marriage in name only. There would be no expectations of love, fidelity, or romance. The Duke hates the American Heiress who married him only for his title, completely unaffected by the senseless tragedy that had made their marriage necessary in the first place. When an illness forces him to retire to the country, he makes sure to choose the property where his wife wouldn't be. Except that she is, and she is still as insufferable as ever. The Duchess resents the man who killed her youthful dreams of love and abandoned her to live his bachelor life unencumbered. When she is jilted by her lover, and faced with inevitable ridicule, she decides to retire to her beloved estate in Cornwall, where she runs an orphanage. Never once does she expect to run into her cold, selfish, insufferable arse of a husband! Forced into each other's company by circumstance, the couple begin to unravel their individual prejudices. Resentment turns into respect and friendship. Respect and friendship soon turn into attraction and affection. Was love closer than either one of them could ever have imagined? And that begged the question; can the Duke win his wife's favor, or is it far too late to make their marriage a love match? Cover by MuniWilliams.

Escaping Darkness [Book 1 of Through Darkness and Light] de keiyani

Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have lived similar lives, though they never realized it. All their lives, they've asked the same questions, though they never realized it. What do you do when the world turns against you? When your protectors become your betrayers and condemn you? What do you do when your world comes crashing down on you, and the darkness threatens to suck you into its grasp? Is there any hope, any kindness, any light to be found? Can the unloved find love in the unlikeliest of places? Can enemies put aside differences and learn to trust each other through friendship? Will the darkness that lingers eventually be vanquished, or will it claim victory forever? Will you be able to escape the darkness? Is it even possible? Little do they know that these very questions will bring them together on a journey like no other.

You have been warned. First in the series of Autumn Club books. *** He lowered his head to her ear. "Good evening, kitten," he whispered. "You are always such a good girl for me, aren't you? Allowing me to pet you without complaint." His wrapped fingers moved so they rested over her covered breast, and a gasp again escaped Katrina's lips. She leaned back a little in to him. She wasn't sure if she was trying to move away from the touch or closer to his body. She knew this was wrong and she should run away, but his touch was addictive.

His wife de white-scar

"Please leave, please," she implored, her voice a fragile thread in the dim room. Her small fists struck against my chest, each blow more a plea than an attack. Her touch was light, desperate, a whisper of strength amid the weight of her fear. Her tears shone in the soft glow of twilight, streaking down her cheeks and leaving silvery trails on her pale skin. Her hair, damp and tangled, clung to her face, and her sobs filled the air with a raw, aching melody. I tightened my hold, my arms a barrier against the world that had hurt her. She felt so small, so breakable, and the thought of letting go filled me with a terror I couldn't name. Her voice echoed in my mind, each "please" a shard of glass against my heart, but I stood firm. She was my heart, my everything. Our souls were bound, twisted together by fate and love and pain. Even in the face of death, I would not release her. I would fight for her, for us, against the tide of despair threatening to pull us under. Her eyes, wide and glassy, held both innocence and shadows. She stared up at me, a blend of trust and fear that tightened the knot in my chest. Her breathing slowed, her small hands clinging to my shirt, and I smoothed a strand of hair from her face. "We'll get through this," I whispered, my voice steady. "Together."
