"Do you think of me, in the quiet of the crowd?"

It's the year leading up to the First World War, and for Lily Denby, everything is about to change.  Her way of life, friendships and family are about to be torn apart by the powers of the war and the impact of society.  Young, naive and rendered powerless by the war, Lily watches as the world emerges into a new order, and feels the heartbreak of true loss and devastation of a world waged by violence.  

Along the way, Lily develops relationships with two men from very different worlds.  Sebastian Carter, a wealthy gentleman by name and society; and Jonah Fitzwilliam, a young gardener forced into the world of violence by the war.  These two men change and shape Lily's future as much as the war ever could as she falls in love and feels the heartbreak of losing those closest to you.

Touch Me Not (Manwhore Series #1) by AprylBaker7
36 parts Complete Mature
A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secret... Since the death of her twin sister, Lily can't bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casually...and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that she's in love with him. She can't give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else. Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhore... Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with him-until he makes her an offer she can't refuse. He'll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her. But Lily raises the stakes... Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition car she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, she'll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved 'Cuda is his to keep. In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation. If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adam's touch as she's starting to crave Nikoli's? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?
