'They were two sides of the same coin, like day and night, and other such clichés Emilia despised.
She loved them both, she had come to discover, and the only problem was whether or not either of them loved her.'
Emilia is unmarried and with child. She is cast out of England by her father and sent away to start a new life in America. There she meets the sons of her new employer. Both are handsome and both have taken a piece of Emilia's heart.
Fredrick is charming and clever, seeming like the perfect husband. However he holds a secret that could cost him everything.
Max, an aspiring playwright is the more studious of the two, but also another puzzle Emilia can't work out.
In a confusing whirlwind of emotions Emilia flees, determined not to have her heartbroken. Only one man pursues her but matters of the heart are never simple as she soon comes to find, and some sacrifices she is unwilling to make.

The Promise We Broke
Imagine being bound to someone your whole life from birth. And that person isn't even a sibling or relative. Yep, that's how my life is. Me and my best friend have always been together. Most people already considered us soulmates. But what happens when things soon start to change. ******************* David and Valeria grew up together in Richmond, London, bound by a childhood promise: they'd always be together . Starting their sophomore year at P.R.E.S college, one of the UK's most elite schools, Beck slips effortlessly into the role of golden boy. Blonde haired, blue-eyes, captain of the football team, heir to a billionaire father, and with millions of followers online, he's the guy everyone wants. But behind the perfect mask, Beck hides scars from a past that still haunts him. Valeria on the other hand: grounded, sharp, and beautiful in a way that feels untouchable - all red curls and storybook eyes. Together, they've always been inseparable. But promises are fragile. When Sidney Alvera, a bold new transfer from America, arrives at P.R.E.S, everything begins to shift. Secrets unravel. Loyalties blur. And when Beck finally finds the courage to confess how he feels, nothing will ever be the same again.
The Bellrich Vow.
The second book is in the BELLRICH ACADEMY. This is not a stand-alone novel. The first book is The Bellrich Vow. *** Marrying Kelvin Robinson was never about love-it was survival. To the outside world, Dara's decision seems reckless, but she knows it's the only way to escape the suffocating grip of both her own family and the ruthless Robinsons. But marriage is not the end of her battles-it's just the beginning. As she struggles to navigate life at Bellrich University, her so-called friends, and the dangerous web of the elite, one shadow from her past refuses to fade: Kelson Robinson, Kelvin's twin brother, and the man who shattered her trust. With the weight of two powerful families pressing down on her, her growing feelings for her new husband become another battle she never anticipated. Taking the Robinson name was supposed to be a shield, but instead, it makes her a bigger target. In a world where loyalty is a facade and secrets hold more power than wealth, Dara must decide-will she fight for herself, or be consumed by the forces that control her? **** The book series (for now).

Ashes of Forever- Available On KU & Paperback
William, Earl of Ashford, and Violet Hayes had known each other since childhood-he, heir to a great title, and she, the daughter of his father's horse master and the cook. What began as innocent friendship blossomed into stolen kisses and whispered vows. William swore their love would cross every boundary of class, that nothing-not family, nor duty, nor the rigid rules of society-would keep them apart. But when William returns from London in the midst of the Season, it is not to claim Violet's hand as he had promised-it is to announce his engagement to a woman of wealth and pedigree. Violet's pleas shatter against his cold words: this is his duty, and nothing will change it. Worse still, his mother ensures Violet's disappearance, warning that if she does not leave at once, her parents will lose their livelihoods. Lady Ashford will not allow a servant's daughter-carrying her son's child-to remain when his new bride is soon to arrive. To Violet, it is not only her love William has cast aside-but their unborn child as well. Shattered and alone, she is sent away, banished from the man she once trusted with her entire heart and soul. Years pass. William's glittering marriage ends in ashes when his wife dies childless, leaving him with nothing but regret. Seeking Violet at last, he finds not the trusting girl who once believed in his promises, but a woman carved by heartbreak and hardened by loss. Violet lives only for her daughter-the child William rejected long ago. Her heart is withered, her trust broken, and she no longer believes in the promises of men. When it mattered most, William did not choose her. And Violet Hayes has vowed never again to be that girl who chose him. Content Warnings: referenced suicide (off-page), child choking incidents (fully resolved), emotional cruelty/manipulation, abandonment of a pregnant heroine, loveless duty marriage, grief/loss, class power imbalance, and secret baby (father unaware).

Rushbrooke End (Book 4)
"Perhaps I could run away," she murmured to herself, stopping to look at the low hanging brach of a willow and determining whether or not it would hold her weight. "From what? To where?" She turned at the voice, nearly sinking into the ankle deep snow as she spied Lord Grimshaw picking his way towards her. "From everything I know, to everything I don't." "Why? Are you bored by the mundane already?" "Aren't you?" "I survive the mundane," he cocked his head to one side, searching for words in the air, "because certain people make it extraordinary." Lilly Thorpe has never shown an interest for love in her own life. She has always been content with her romance novels, ignoring the going ons of her large and busy family. When the Thorpes embark on a journey to Hertfordshire Lilly makes the acquaintance of the intelligent, mysterious but handsome Earl of Tavistock. The earl and his home, the gothic Rushbrooke End, are both shrouded in secrets and mysteries, including the strange circumstances that surround his mother and sister's deaths. In a holiday of secrets, madness and envy, Lilly finds that perhaps real life can be just as thrilling as her beloved novels.

That twelve years ago, her life had been stolen from her. Growing up in the slums of Lagos, she learned not to dream-dreams didn't belong to people like her. All she wanted was a way out, a job to pull her and her sister out of poverty. But when the truth comes crashing down, her simple existence is ripped apart. She isn't just another struggling girl-she is the long-lost daughter of one of Nigeria's wealthiest families. And they want her back. Thrown into a world of untold riches, Denise is expected to adjust, to play her part in a life she never knew existed. But not all that glitters is gold. Her twin sister despises her, her new family is drowning in secrets, and the mystery of her kidnapping looms over her like a dark shadow. To make things worse, Bellrich Academy-the elite school she now attends-is a battlefield of ruthless rich teens, social hierarchies, and cruel mind games. And lurking beneath it all? A serial killer picking off students one by one. In this world, failure is not an option. Survival means navigating deadly secrets, deadly people, and deadly truths. Because in the world of the elite, the most dangerous thing Denise can be-is unprepared.Complet
