"She crossed time itself to find a love society would never understand."
||WLW||Historical Lovers vibes||
Ivy Belladont has always lived for the stories that promise everything she's never had: candlelit ballrooms, stolen glances, and that breathless, rain-soaked kiss that changes everything. But her days are spent above her family's old bookstore, cataloging love she'll never risk for herself-until a mysterious patron gifts her a strange, never-seen-before book with a warning about choice, risk, and the true cost of romance.
When Ivy opens it, she doesn't just read the story-she falls into it. She wakes in a world of glittering society balls and ruthless gossip columns, dressed in men's tailored trousers instead of a gown, forced to pass as an exotic foreign guest to explain away her every mistake.
And at the heart of it all is Lady Violet Vale: society's flawless debutante, duty-bound to marry well, but hiding a reckless hunger in her eyes. Their connection is instant, electric, and entirely forbidden. In secret gardens and candlelit rooms, they trade confessions meant to stay buried, and risk touches that could destroy them both.
Because love this improper is never safe-and Ivy will have to decide if she's willing to pay the price for the one thing she's always wanted: a love that dares everything.

Bound by Flames (f/f angels and demons | dark / forbidden romance/erotica)
Her voice came out grainy. "I'm tired of being the devil's whip." She ground her teeth together. "I'm tired of killing for evil. I saw you the other night and it made me feel something I'd never felt before. The want to protect you." She looked down at her feet, her expression unfamiliar. "I've been a monster for five hundred years." She looked at me. "And when I saw you, I saw good. I saw purity." - "And what did my angel think about?" She growled. I could feel her breath in my ear. The possessiveness that clouded her burrowed into me. She bit my ear again and I sighed in pleasure. "Tell me," she demanded. "I thought about you," I admitted. My core began to throb. "And was it good?" She moved her lips down to my neck, biting the artery that beat rapidly. I swallowed. "No one has ever made me feel like you do." My voice came out husky. I couldn't take much more of this. - Camael never asked to be saved by a demon. She didn't even know that demons could be saviors. Her purpose was to do the right thing, even when it felt so wrong. Lirathis has killed her entire life. She was the Devil's whip and knew nothing except pain and destruction. Void of any emotion. Until she met Camael. Something is changing between them. Pulling them together. Wrenching them from the lives they knew. Chemistry had its own magic.Complete
