To Bewitch A Beast by greenwriter

"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.

Heart of the Fates by SolangeLu-Never-Dies

Book three of Heart of the Enemy Trilogy *** *** *** SPOILERS TO HEART OF THE ENEMY AND HEART OF THE LOST *** *** *** Nico was back at the palace. It'd been two years. The war hadn't gotten any easier, and his life had only gotten harder. It was obvious the Olympians were desperate. After the Ereban King, Nico's father, had obtained the weapon of the historical king Hades, they'd been decimating the Olympian and Atlantean forces. There was no way they'd win this war without heavy bloodshed and a miracle. So they did the only thing they could. They called for a cease fire, for a stop to the bloodshed, in return for the return of the Ereban princess, Hazel Levesque. So here they were, meeting on the border. Nico is seeing faces he hasn't let himself dream about for what feels like years. He's changed; all the progress Will and his friends had made in the time they were with Nico had disappeared. He was the Ghost King again. *** *** *** Will was, obviously, devastated after the loss of his family. He'd been angry for a long time, but there was only so much you could do when you're angry at someone you can't do anything to. So, after a while, his anger faded to bitter resentment, and his target moved to something more important. Getting his boyfriend back. Nico, hostage of the king, forced into this war that Will knew he didn't want to be a part of. Will would do anything to get him back, because he couldn't let King Hades take someone else from him. Not again. Never again. *** *** *** All character rights go to Rick Riordan unless stated otherwise. *Trigger Warning* Blood, gore, violence, self harm, depression, abuse, suicidal thoughts, slow burn solangelo, ect...

Husband Wanted (HC #1) by Flo_Writes

Elizbeth Anne Humphrey wants a husband. Her expectations are not outlandish; all she asks is that he be reasonably handsome, reasonably wealthy and completely kind. Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps. He also has a head-wound and no memory of who he is, but Elizabeth Humphrey has larger mysteries to solve; namely, the mystery of who she might marry.
