CARLISLE: Tamed (Aristocrat #9) by WriterKal
8 parts Ongoing Mature
She has lived her life bound by three core values: maintaining the fragile peace of Salvado, safeguarding the friends she holds dear, and keeping her word, as her family's legacy demands. For years, that has been enough. She didn't care for much else. Until her sister throws a wrench into everything, forcing her to take on a responsibility she never wanted. This responsibility comes in the form of a woman-one with a burning desire to reclaim her fallen family's name. She's ambitious, self-serving, and utterly selfish. At first, the woman seems like nothing more than a nuisance, someone to babysit until the job is done. Carlisle has no interest in her or her petty schemes. She could disappear tomorrow, and Carlisle wouldn't bat an eyelash. But when Carlisle starts to uncover the truth-that the woman she's now bound to protect may have played a role in the suffering of someone Carlisle has sworn to protect-everything changes. The betrayal cuts deeper than she ever expected. Her sense of duty is tested, and with it, her loyalty to her friend, who has been by her side for years. Now, Carlisle stands at a crossroads, trapped between two opposing forces: her sworn duty to protect a woman she finds repulsive, and the loyalty she has always held for her friends, the people who has shared her life, her secrets, and her struggles. Can she keep her word, as a Di Santis should, even if it means betraying someone she loves? Or will the truth force her to shatter her oath, risking not only her own reputation but the fragile peace she's worked so hard to maintain? With every step, the weight of her decision grows heavier, and the consequences more dire. In a world where family, loyalty, and power collide, Carlisle must choose what kind of person she wants to be-and whether she's willing to sacrifice everything she holds dear all for the sake of one woman.

LOGAN: Bewitched (Aristocrat #4) by WriterKal
38 parts Complete Mature
They couldn't be more different-or more volatile together. One is driven by fierce loyalty, a protective fire that burns for those she loves; the other, a cool and calculating presence, is as mysterious as the secrets she keeps. Sparks fly every time they meet, but not in the way anyone would call "romantic." From the beginning, distrust hangs between them like a storm cloud. Logan blames her for putting her best friend in danger, for being reckless, cold, and too close to dangerous people. She hates everything Persis stands for: the secrets, the icy detachment, the subtle but undeniable magnetism that unsettles her every time they clash. Persis feels the heat too, though she'd never admit it. She's always been able to control her emotions, raised to be tough in a world where softness can be fatal. But with Logan, her restraint is slipping. Logan's hot temper, her passionate spirit, stirs something foreign inside her. As tension crackles between them, the lines between hate and desire begin to blur. Each confrontation brings them closer, unraveling their defenses as they face off against both Persis' dark past and their growing attraction. In a world where love could be their undoing, they have to decide if they're willing to risk it all or if they'll continue to dance around the spark that just won't die. As the heat between them rises, neither is willing to admit to the pull that keeps drawing them back into each other's orbit. It's an attraction they don't want and a connection they can't ignore, one that challenges their assumptions, chips away at their walls, and leaves them each wondering: is there more to hate than they ever imagined?

39 parts Ongoing Mature
When overworked medical intern Juliana "Jules" Marquez wakes up in a rural village that shouldn't exist, she has no idea how she got there-only that it's definitely the 1800s, no one has ever heard of antibiotics, and being a woman with opinions is not in fashion. Desperate to survive, Jules poses as "Julian," a traveling doctor. With her quick wit, real-life trauma, rotation skills, and a very convincing coat, she accidentally impresses the local chief-and gets herself a room, a reputation, and a job. Enter Cassandra, the chief's beautiful, whip-smart daughter who has made dodging marriage proposals an art form. At first she was very skeptical but finds herself watching more often than not this odd, sarcastic "man" who knows more about the human body than anyone she's ever met-and who reacts to every flirtation like someone set her on fire. As Jules navigates herbal remedies, goat birthing, and the terrifying possibility that she might be stuck here forever, she finds herself falling for the village, for the people, and for the girl who might just see right through her. But time is a tricky thing. And secrets, even the well-meant ones, don't stay buried forever. Let's explore this sapphic historical romcom about identity, second chances, and falling for someone who makes you feel like you've known them forever-even if you've just met. Disclaimer...
