Sebastian Harcourt lives by two rules: never take society seriously, and never fall in love with someone who can match your wit.
Algernon Moncrieff is a disaster on both counts. Between mistaken identities, cryptic poems, and absinthe-fuelled flirtation, their connection threatens to turn Wilde's comedy into something dangerously heartfelt.
Who knew being earnest could be so... complicated?

You Had Me At Hocus-Pocus
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Penrose has perfected the art of being unnoticed at Hogwarts. While everyone else is busy snogging under mistletoe or gossiping in the common room, Olivia's happiest with her nose in a Jane Austen novel - not in someone's love life. Especially not her own. But when her latest "purely academic" experiment - a highly potent love potion - is mistaken for a cheap drink at a Gryffindor party, everything goes wrong. Overnight, the boys who never knew she existed are suddenly writing her poetry, fighting duels in the corridors, and declaring their "undying devotion" loud enough for the portraits to gossip. And the absolute worst part? One of them might actually mean it. With her friendships falling apart, professors circling like hawks, and her reputation on the verge of total disaster, Olivia has to find a cure - fast. The problem? The only people who can help are Hermione Granger (rule-follower extraordinaire) and Fred Weasley - the infuriating, charming, utterly smug boy who's somehow immune to her potion... and now pretending to be her boyfriend. Magic, mischief, fake dating, and one very inconvenient spark - welcome to Olivia Penrose's most chaotic term yet.
THE DUKE'S TEMPTATION
Short Story of A Duke and His new Husband. The air was thick with the scent of wine, candle wax, and the perfume of the aristocracy, but all I could smell was him. Sebastian's hand was around my wrist before I could take another step, his grip firm-unyielding. My breath hitched as he pulled me away from the grand ballroom, away from the swirling dancers and idle gossip, into the shadows of a secluded alcove. The wall was cold against my back, but his body was burning as he caged me in, his hands braced on either side of me. His eyes-dark, hungry-devoured me as though he were a beast barely holding himself back. "Do you have any idea what you've done to me tonight?" he murmured, voice low and edged with something dangerous. His fingers trailed along my jaw, tilting my chin up until there was no escaping the intensity of his gaze. "Parading around that ballroom, smiling so sweetly, looking so untouchable, when I am the only man who should be allowed to look at you that way?" My breath came shallow, my heart hammering against my ribs. "Sebastian-" "I want to ruin you," he growled, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear, his voice sinking deeper into something dark and possessive. "Right here, against this wall. I want to mark you, claim you, so that no man would ever dare look at you again without knowing who you belong to." A shiver ran through me. My knees felt weak, and he must have sensed it because his hands were on my waist in an instant, gripping me tightly, as if daring me to run. As if he knew I wouldn't. "You are mine, Felix," he whispered against my throat, the promise threading through my skin like fire. "And I will remind you of it before this night is over."Complete

"Liliana." He halted his movements. "Yes Seb?" I was in a trance. Under his spell. Helplessly so. "It's your call." "What is?" "This." I felt his thumb caress my skin from under my shirt.

Love At First Text ✔️
Being a hopeless romantic has never faired Eden Holland well. For all her expectations of being swept off of her feet, to public declarations of love and swoon worthy date nights beneath the stars, she's suffered only broken hearts, failed first dates, and a long list of let downs. Still, she dreams of her own cliche love story, and when an exchange of texts begins with the nameless man she saw at a bar, she is quick to fall head over heels. Sebastian Walker is a charmer, and he knows it. He has been since his teen years, when he spent most of his time flashing a pearly grin at the girls in the corridor, splashing on dates every other week, and letting them down easy and gentle. He hasn't changed much, and for all of his weekends spent tangled in a different girls bedsheets, he's still never called one back the next morning. Yet, when he's left a mystery girls number in a bar, and her replies are nothing short of uninterested, he cannot help but press send. But is it love at first text, or will the serial dater and the love story singleton be a recipe for disaster? --- #2 in mature, slow burn This book can be read as a stand alone, but character cross overs occur from my first and second book, 'Mr and Mrs Nemesis' and 'In Drunken Matrimony' respectively. Buckle up for the cliches, foul language, and the stuff that means I have to rate this book mature.Complete
