Finn has an honourable position; personal servant to the monarch of Cafi, a small country off the coast of France. He also has not-so-honourable a position; a man in love with another man, in the early 1800s. Oliver is being forced towards marriage, and Finn is being forced towards accepting his love is unrequited. As France begins to fall into another revolution, the world begins unravelling around them. Oliver has to fight to maintain the democracy he established, and Finn must cope with the reawakening of his less-than-ideal past as a con artist in the search for his long-lost brother. The two must learn who to trust and who not to trust as they begin to know each other more deeply than they every thought they could.

Content Warnings Applicable to This Story:
This book is set in the early 1800s, and I don't want to avoid talking about the horrendous things that happened to people of colour then. It will talk about slavery, but from a firm anti-slavery perspective, never glorifying or making excuses for it. Cafi itself is a fictional country and while I absolutely believe they would have had slave trade too (because most places did and I don't want to pretend they didn't), I want the book to include Oliver's fight to abolish slavery in his country.

Otherwise, there may be previous mentions of abuse, but it will be extremely mild, nothing graphic, and the chapter itself will pre-warn you. Oliver's relationship with his family can be problematic at times. Please take care of yourself during any chapters that may be triggering for you.

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)

How far would you go to save the one you love? What would you be willing to give up? A crown. A country. Your very life. Edward is the crown prince of England. He's got the entire world at his fingertips. And he can have anything he wants. Anything, but the brash, ill mannered knight who has somehow captured his heart. Ignoring all cautions, the two young men begin a forbidden love affair. A forbidden love affair that will change the course of history. Edward II of England will gamble everything to keep control of his country and maintain his relationship with the man he loves, Piers Gaveston, who will go on to become one of the most enigmatic figures in English history. Based on the incredible true story. Ahem: are you still in pain after reading Song of Achilles? You want to be in even more pain? Have I got the story for you! This is long, it's gonna take hours, you'll be invested, you'll cry. Probably more than once. Download this and you've got enough anguish for a cross country flight. Plus, it's all based on true events and you'll become emotionally invested in people that lived 700 years ago.

It is clear characters are about to have or have had sex. Abuse, toxic relationships, and bullying occur throughout. Traumatic violence, as well as deaths of characters. Family relationships and homophobia throughout. Some sequences may be upsetting to some readers, please seek help as needed. *Alcohol use throughout

~~~~~{Book Three}~~~~~ "So if you both are Force Sensitive, does that mean Rue is too?" Esmere then asked. "Yes, I believe so, but why only Rue?" Ben asked in return. "Because, I've tried doing the things she does but it's no use. I'm a runt." "You're not a runt, don't ever call yourself that. Some people just start with their door open wider than others, so maybe you are and we'll just have to see over time." "Okay... I love you two. Don't ever change." Esmere hugged them tighter as if when he would let go he would lose them forever. "We won't. I promise." Eclypse whispered then smiled sadly, glancing between Ben and Esmere. It felt like a mistake... Telling them everything. But there's no going back now. Their perception of them has changed forever... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's been almost fifteen years since the defeat of the Final Order and on the planet Pillio lives Ben and Eclypse Solo with their children Aarue and Esmere who are oblivious to their dangerous heritage.
