Lydia Dennings, her twin sister, Lilly, and their older sister, Deliah live in Victorian England. They want what all young ladies want of that time period: to find an advantageous suitor, produce an heir, and live happily in wedded bliss.
Dimitri Wyatt is the epitome of an eligible bachelor. With ethereal blue eyes, long, wavy raven hair, and full lips he is absolute perfection. The Dennings certainly think so.
But what secret is he hiding? What of his "condition" that bewilders Lydia, and he's willing to protect at any cost?

Spy || Derek Hale When the troublemaking duo ventured into the woods that night to uncover the truth behind a buried body, the plan unraveled quickly. Stiles' sharp tongue and bad timing landed him in the back of his father's patrol car, leaving Scott McCall alone to face the dark unknown. As he pressed on without his friend, the oppressive silence of the forest turned sinister. And then he saw them-two glowing, blood-red eyes piercing through the shadows. For Scott, it was a fateful encounter that would change his life forever. Meanwhile, Hazel's own journey took a different turn. A series of strange, inexplicable events led her to Derek Hale, the brooding and enigmatic werewolf with a dangerous past. Their initial meeting was anything but friendly, shrouded in suspicion and the weight of secrets. But as Hazel's path continued to intersect with Derek's, an unlikely connection began to form. Over time, Derek became an unwilling protector to Hazel, and she, in turn, became one of the few to glimpse the humanity buried beneath his hardened exterior. Each season of chaos brought them closer-whether through shared battles, unexpected alliances, or moments of vulnerability that neither expected to share. But as Hazel grew more entrenched in the supernatural world, she couldn't help but wonder if her connection with Derek would be her salvation-or her undoing. For in Beacon Hills, trust could be as dangerous as any monster lurking in the woods. TEEN WOLF S1 S2 S3 S4 S6Complete
