History, Jealousy, and Games [ ON HOLD ]

[ I'M STILL EDITING AND REWRITING. ALL CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN ]

Rikkard Ambrose did not expect Lillian Linton to turn to his family once he disappears. And now that Rikkard's back, it's high time that he fix the mistake she made... and deal with Johann, his oh-so-beloved cousin. And now, Johann is creeping into Rikkard's life and is dangerously close to toppling the empire he built from dust.

Lilly Linton did not want to be the one to inform her boss' family that he was supposedly dead and lost at sea. She knew that things could go awry, but the charming Johann Ambrose was not part of her back-up plan Z. His efforts to court her and Rikkard's sudden return to Battlewood is just driving her insane. Lily wasn't sure this was part of the work requirements.

Empire House is back in business.

AU-ish where everything does not go to plan starting the end of the first book. Definitely an AU where Rikkard and Lilly deal with Battlewood far sooner than Sir Rob paced it, honestly.
