To Bewitch A Beast
"Deliciously captivating! It's the perfect amount of laughs, love and drama. You won't be able to put this book down!" - Grace K @ HQ. When Agatha becomes the Everard's governess, she's grateful for a way to escape her dark past. That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst. And Benedict, the Lord of Devonshire and the eldest of the clan, is as mysterious and brooding as anyone The Town has ever seen. His face is marked with scars, and no one dares to speak on how he got them. Known to all as 'the beast,' the townsfolk tremble in his wake. But little does he know that he is about to meet his match in Agatha Blair, his sisters' new governess. Agatha is witty, smart and gives him a run for his money when he tries to peel back the layers of who she really is. She truly intrigues him more than any woman he has met but she is a governess and he is a Lord. The Town would shun the union of two people from different stations and any romance between them is surely a recipe for social disaster! But what can they do when the burning hot feelings refuse to relent? And when Benedict uncovers that Agatha is hiding a secret far more dangerous than anything he could have imagined, will love save the day and will Agatha finally tame the beast? *This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.

Bound To Bea
"No respect for the dead." His words came out in silent whispers, his teeth clenched. A small smile tugged on her lips. "Respect is earned in life, my lord. When a man fails to earn respect in life, it cannot suddenly be bestowed on him simply because he returned to the dust whence he came." "At the very least, Lady Atkins, pretend," he admonished. "Pretend to mourn for your husband! You are a woman in mourning! Grief, sadness, decency is expected of you," he growled, stepping so close to her, his nose almost kissed hers. "Not a low-cut, salacious red dress!" She inched forward, jaw set, until she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "And you are a man whose cousin's widow was only a few minutes ago caught with a man on top of her," she shot back, leaning further in until her lips were nearly brushing his as she searched his gaze. "Anger, rage, fury, is expected of you, my lord... Not jealousy!" * Newly widowed, the sudden death of Beatrice's husband has brought about her freedom from the shackles of a loveless marriage... Or so she thinks. All hope is quickly lost when she discovers her husband's cruelty in disinheriting her and leaving her penniless. But worse than his decision to disinherit her, is his decision to leave her at the mercy of his cousin; Noah, the very handsome Marquess of Camden. TW: This story contains mentions of suicide.

Regency Romance: The Earl's Obsession (Historical Romance) (COMPLETED)
(COMPLETED) It's 1817 and there is nothing more a woman wants than to marry a rich man and live a life of comfort. But not Nancy Brooks. Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor. Things take a turn when she delivers clothes to one of the schools she always dreamed of attending and ends up saving the day. Lord Andrew Montgomery rules almost every place he sets foot in-one of the perks of being the son of the most powerful duke of the time-and this includes Oxford. Violent and aggressive, he vows to make the life of every student who dares defy him miserable. However, when he targets the new (and first) girl at Oxford, his obsession becomes a little more than just making her life miserable. It began, he would later speculate, with a shout: the simple sound of someone shouting at him-for the first time in his life. It began, she would later speculate, with a catch: the simple movement of strong arms, breaking her fall, catching her midway. But after that, there would come many more events, and ones not too keen on bringing them together. What will they do when a powerful duchess steps in, when it seems every person is working to keep them apart? This is a story of betrayal and love, because they are not so different after all...Complete

A Bet On Hearts [Romantic Comedy]
[IMPORTANT: This is a closed-door romance for readers uncomfortable reading heavy erotica and adult scenes.] Miss Mina Haswell has always been a firm believer in love, especially when it comes to her betrothed, a dear childhood friend. Years ago, however, fate took a cruel turn, draping her in mourning and casting her heart in grief. Though unable to even fathom the prospect of love once again blessing her life, she finds joy in her sister's happiness. After her father's untimely passing, the title of Viscount Sinclair unexpectedly falls to a distant relative, the somewhat reclusive Mr Royston Langdon. When their paths cross, Mina and Royston embark on an unconventional journey filled with unforeseen challenges. Intrigued by Miss Haswell, the newly minted Lord Sinclair proposes a daring wager - a game of hearts. If Mina can help Royston win the affection of his potential bride, he promises to triple her inheritance. In return, should Royston help Mina win the heart of her chosen suitor, she will be forced to give up her beloved summer residence, which holds her most cherished memories and represents a significant portion of her inheritance. Their stakes are equal - Mina has lived far from the scrutinising gaze of the ton, while Royston remains a newcomer to its complex world. But patience is not a virtue for which Miss Haswell is known, and Lord Sinclair seems to take a peculiar pleasure in vexing her at every turn. Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, societal expectations and their passionate exchange of wits, one question lingers: Can there be a winner from this daring wager, or will the unpredictability of love cause the rules to be rewritten? ♦♦♦ Contains themes of death and grief. ♦♦♦ ♥♥♥ Ambys 2024 Favorite ♥♥♥ The story is also available on Inkitt. #historicalromanceComplete
