For years, Lady Aurelia Ravenswythe has carried the weight of her family's scandal-the mysterious deaths of her parents, whispers of a curse, and a tarnished name that even her beauty and talents cannot cleanse. Returning to London for her sister's debut, Aurelia expects judgmental stares and sharp tongues. What she doesn't expect is the reappearance of Lord Sebastian Ashworth-the son of the man who destroyed her family.

Sebastian has his own scars. Cast out by society, his name a byword for disgrace, he has spent years rebuilding the Ashworth legacy. When business brings him back to London, the last thing he anticipates is meeting Aurelia. Yet, in her defiance and grace, he finds something he never thought he deserved-hope.

But their connection is forbidden. Their families' shared history makes a future impossible. And as secrets come to light, Aurelia must choose between the loyalty she owes her family and the love she never expected.

"You've crossed the line, Aurelia!" Ezekiel's voice thundered, pulling her sharply away from the ballroom. "Dancing with him? The son of the man who ruined us? How can you even bear to look at him?"

Her breath hitched, but she lifted her chin. "Two families ended that night, Ezekiel. You forget his suffered too."

The air in the garden was heavy with unspoken words as Sebastian found her moments later.
"I never meant to fall for you, Aurelia," he confessed, his voice raw. "I came here for business. I told myself I wouldn't care. But then I saw you."

She should have walked away, but his words held her still. "And what do you see now?"

He stepped closer, his voice breaking. "A future I can never have."

Will Aurelia and Sebastian defy the odds and confront the shadows of their past? Or will duty and scandal tear them apart forever?

Cursed Facade by RumanticTales

"Wake up." The icy splash of water jolted Jasmine awake, her breath hitching as reality crashed down. Disoriented and trembling, she barely registered a hand striking her cheek. The sharp sting and the metallic tang of blood grounded her in a nightmare she couldn't escape. Sebastian loomed over her, his presence as sharp and cold as the venom in his voice. "Welcome, princess. How do you find Montague's hospitality?" His smirk was colder than the water dripping from her face. "I bring news," he continued, his words cutting like a blade. "Your father has finally met justice-straight to hell." Jasmine froze, tears welling in her eyes. "No," she whispered, shaking her head. "What happened to my father? What did you do to him?" Sebastian's smirk twisted into something darker. "What did I do?" he repeated, his voice low and venomous. "I gave your father exactly what he deserved-for destroying my sister's life, for tearing my family apart." He leaned in closer, his gaze piercing and unrelenting. "But don't mistake this for an ending, Jasmine. This is only the beginning." Her voice cracked as she pleaded, "Please-you've got it wrong. My father and I would never harm anyone!" Sebastian's grip tightened on her chin, his unrelenting gaze boring into her. "Spare me your innocence," he hissed. "I should be glad he's dead-but I'm not because I didn't kill him myself. So I'll settle for you. Every tear, every ounce of pain, will torment him in his grave." Even as fear consumed her, Jasmine's voice trembled with defiance. "You're wrong. Whatever you think you know, it's a lie." Jasmine's memories were fragmented, her past shrouded in mystery. She couldn't even remember her father's face, let alone the sins this man accused them of. She didn't know where to begin, or who to turn to for answers. But one thing was clear: He wasn't just her captor-he was her storm. And the storm between them had only begun.

Unbroken Bonds | Sebastian Sallow x Reader by kkynareth

"You think shutting me out will fix everything?" My voice trembled, frustration and hurt bubbling to the surface. "That disappearing, keeping secrets, pushing everyone away, that it'll somehow make this right?" Sebastian's jaw clenched, his gaze fierce. "I'm doing what I have to do. You wouldn't understand." I took a step closer, refusing to let him slip away this time. "Then try me," I shot back. "Don't just stand there and say I wouldn't understand when you won't even give me the chance."

I felt my breath hitch as his shoulders dropped ever so slightly, the fight in him faltering. Then, as though some unseen barrier had shattered, he closed the distance between us in a single, unguarded moment.
