CONSTANCE
Book 1 of the Blackthorn Chronicles
By Rip_Itsuna

London, 1863. The skies weep as Duchess Constance Blackthorn buries her husband-a duke twice her age, brother to the King, and the final heir of a cursed bloodline.

At only twenty, Constance is a widow with no child, no allies, and an entire Duchy to govern. Whispers haunt her: that she killed him, that a woman cannot rule alone, that Blackthorn men always die at forty.

They don't know the truth.

They don't know about the ancient infernal pact forged generations ago... or the butler who stayed behind when all others fled.

Lucien is elegant, obedient, and unnervingly perfect. But beneath his flawless exterior hides a demon-Stolas, Prince of Hell-whose centuries-old contract has finally run dry. And now he has eyes for the Duchess herself.

Because power ripens in grief.
And her soul is the most tempting he's ever tasted.

A gothic tale of secrets, seduction, and supernatural games, Constance is the beginning of a slow-burn descent into dark desire, deadly bargains, and the cost of sovereignty in a world ruled by men-and monsters.All Rights Reserved

We hope you enjoy it." ******* Princess Elaine Renee Valys has always lived a sheltered life, hidden away in a tower on the outskirts of her father's kingdom.

A Bright witch, they call her - hell incarnate. The only person keeping her in check is Lucius Vortigern - the vampire lord of Bath and a man with too much power for Susan's liking. In return for being the only thing preventing her going up in flames or being slain by her own kind, she acts as his sword to guard his city and the blood-bag to sate his addiction. As a result, Lucius and his own are hers to protect, be it from their own mistakes, Lucius' dangerously flaring tempers, the wolves that bay for Vortigern blood or the monster that sleeps in the depths of the house.

I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot. This is a re-write of 'Lust for Her Master's Blood' and, while the gist of the plot is mostly the same, a lot of how it happens, the lore and the characters have been completely rebuilt from the ground up.

Under Knight's Spell by ChaseMonre

The first time Riley sees Alexander Knight, he imagines him between his legs-rough hands, filthy mouth, breaking him apart like he was made for it. Six-foot-three of power and ruin, smelling of smoke and whiskey, looking at him like a man already planning the crime. He hadn't come to the countryside to lose himself. He came for sun, silence, and maybe a little healing. But Alexander is his best friend's father. Powerful. Impossible. The kind of man who commands a room without speaking, whose stare feels like a hand around your throat. One look becomes a touch that tastes like danger. One touch spirals into a night he can't forget. And one night turns into an addiction he refuses to fight. They swore it would only happen once. Summer's heat makes liars of them both. In stolen midnight rooms and against cold walls, Riley learns what it means to be claimed-body, breath, and every trembling, broken part of himself. But secrets echo louder than any moan. And someone is always listening. Under Knight's Spell Of Lust and Legacy: Book 1 By Chase Monre 🔥 Explicit. Forbidden. Deliciously dangerous. Warning: Contains graphic scenes, a taboo age-gap dynamic, and a love so brutal it might break you first.

Where Forever Ends by ToluDanielle

Her body reacted before her mind caught up. Her pulse betrayed her before reason could protest. From that first glance, she was marked. He's the kind of beautiful you don't survive. The kind you don't walk away from. And when he touches her, it's with fire, fangs, and a hunger that makes the world blur around the edges. She should've run. She didn't. Every night since, she's fallen deeper into something tangled and consuming. He vanishes. She aches. He returns. She burns. This isn't romance. This is wreckage. And in Damien's arms, Gabrielle doesn't just lose herself- She becomes something new. Something dangerous. Because when you fall for a monster at first sight... You don't climb out. You evolve.
