***COMPLETED!!!***
----

Everyone has secrets...

Vincent, Viscount Thorne, perfected his wicked grin and his good-humored mask years ago. He has no time for fools. Or that fickle emotion, love. The ton is full of sheep blindly walking into heartbreak.
After all, he had ruined his best friend's little sister for love only to have ripped away from him. Thorne had no choice but to leave her waiting that night in the garden. It was his only choice. So, why does he still regret it so damned much? 

Especially now, when the lady in question reenters society, scarred but hardly broken. The Duke of Burkeley - that pompous, uptight wanker - declares himself her fiancee, and Thorne finds he will do whatever necessary to keep her out of that prig's clutches. 

A wager is in order. He'll find her a better bridegroom and then let her go. If only he could. 

...but eventually, even the best kept secrets come out...

Lady Georgianna is done hiding. So what, the love of her life left her waiting for hours in a darkened garden? So what, the fire chose that evening to entrap her, leaving her face burned? She dares anyone to place her into an imposed exile. Once was enough. 

With the Duke as her betrothed - the most arrogant and influential of them - Georgie will finally have everything she wanted within her grasp. Well, if Thorne hadn't intervened once more with his ridiculous talk of wagers. Suddenly, Georgie's in a game she can't afford to lose.

But, what if she wins?

...Until everything comes crashing down...

By season's end, the masquerade ball reveals more than their masked faces. It's a blazing unveiling that trumps even Beau Brummel's exile. The question remains. Will it lead to their ultimate ruination? Or might it just be their salvation?

The Tyrant's Queen by coko_rose

"I am bored, my Queen. So, entertain me." ~ * ~ Young Prince Lucien of Aesna is more suited for the countryside than the royal palace of fatal mind games and seasonal assassinations. Despite being shunned for being born to a palace maid, Lucien practices utmost loyalty as a soldier, leading battles for his country. That's until one day, he's captured and tortured as hostage, then used as a bargaining chip for Aesna's enemies to get back a valuable piece of land. But there is no bargain- Lucien, almost promptly, is given up by his own country. Years later a bloody coup breaks out between the two princes of Aesna, leaving all men of royal blood dead or crippled. With two neighboring countries waiting to pounce on the destabilized nation, the royal officials get back Prince Lucien in exchange for the land he was given up for. They welcome the prince as king, remembering the soft-hearted and naïve boy and ready to easily control him as puppet king with bribes, flattery and threats. But the man they put on the throne, is more madman than king, more beast than human, heralding another bloodbath in Aesna. ~ * ~ To avoid being forced to work as a bar girl, May lives as boy "Toma" in a small town of Aesna. But one day a man offers to pay off all her debts- in exchange for marrying him. Little does she know he's the mad, new king of Aesna. ~ * ~ His callused hand cupped the back of her head and lifted her face. He wasn't harsh, but he wasn't gentle, either. The smell of the wine on his breath was hot on her face. "...You yourself know the answer, sire." Lucien's eyes slipped from her eyes, to her lips. "Oh, do I?" he growled. His mouth swooped in without any tenderness, and his hand seized and tightened around the back of her neck, yanking her close to him. ** "Are you done, sire? Or do you order me to love you?" ** Started uploads: 5 Aug 2022 -1K: 12 chapters uploaded, 3 Nov 2022

What the ton doesn't know is that Fabian is biting to return to his previous life. What people believed to be a holiday around the continent, was actually Fabian's cover as he worked as an Agent of the Crown. His new status as a Duke however, did not make him want to step down as an Agent just yet, especially with a recent case that specifically embroils a series of planned heists within the ton. --- As the two are thrown together in a series of circumstances that was mostly chance, sometimes fate, and with a dash of secrecy, how would the turmoil change their lives?

BOUND (#1, of Crows and Thorns) by AvaLarksen

[THIS STORY WILL BE TAKEN DOWN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2024] She's the reason the heart of my family had been torn apart. Because that night, I'd unwittingly chosen her. Now she's my prey. Nelle:- Cursed by a terrifying dark power, I'm a secret hidden in plain sight and trapped on my family estate, hardly leaving its gated confines. For no one is permitted to wield magic not approved by those we serve-the Horned Gods. And if my secret is discovered, everyone I love will die. But, of late, I barely can control the darkness writhing beneath my flesh. I desperately need to unearth its secrets, which means escaping my family home to seek answers to dangerous questions from a monster. The only person I can turn to for help is Graysen Crowther-a ruthless enforcer and, ugh, my jerk-of-a-fiancé. Of course, there's always a catch with Graysen. This time, he desires a kiss. But that one kiss awakes something more dangerous than desire and more mysterious than even the magic of the insidious marriage contract that binds us together. Graysen:- I'm the one entrusted by my family to uncover the depths of Nelle's sinister secret. And worse, our mutual loathing and hatred for our arranged union runs alongside an undeniable attraction. Yet, time is running out fast. I'm recklessly trying to figure out what she is, and far more irritating, why that strange hyperawareness has always existed between us. Threats sweep in from all sides. Even her own family needs her dead to shield themselves from the Horned Gods' wrath. Because while I'm hunting Nelle, something else is hunting her too. And there's no way in Nine Hells I'll allow her to be stolen. ['Of Crows and Thorns' is an epic saga that belongs to Nelle and Miss Catt. We alternate between these two leads, along with the Crowther brothers. All the novels, no matter who the leads are or what timeline they occur, drive the dire dilemma of Nelle's storyline.] Cover Design by Ren Tachibana

Lord Anthony Bridgerton, the formidable head of the Bridgerton family, sets forth on a quest to secure a worthy spouse, driven solely by his unyielding duty to preserve the family's esteemed name. His pursuit of a debutante who can meet his exacting standards appears destined for failure until the arrival of the Sharma sisters from the exotic lands of India. Yet, as the Viscount endeavors to court Edwina, his heart and mind are ensnared by an unexpected distraction-the Queen Dowager of Württemberg, now globally recognized as the Queen Mother, Charlotte. Unbeknownst to Anthony, Charlotte harbors a conflicted heart; while she yearns for him to marry, she can't escape the fervent desire that it were her he chose. A lifetime of unspoken love lingers, and she regrets the moment she turned him away when he bared his feelings. As Anthony's courtship of Edwina unfolds, Kate uncovers the stark reality of his intentions-a genuine love match isn't high on his list of priorities-certainly not when she discovers of the Viscount and Queen Mother's past. Determined to shield her sister, Kate resolves to thwart the impending union. Amidst everyone's efforts, every encounter between Charlotte and Anthony draws them irresistibly closer, entwining their destinies in a complex web of emotions.
