Book excerpt: In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton. After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer -- the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin. But that was then . . . Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love . . . until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets . . .

Download or read book If She s Wicked written by Amelia Hutchins and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International, award winning, Amazon top 20 Bestselling author! She's a war I cannot win. She's our salvation. Erie is the one creature that can save my race from dying out. The thing is, we broke her, but we broke the wrong parts. Now, the only thing that girl craves is revenge and a need to destroy with a rage that burns hotter than the fires of Hell. I've loved her longer than she has been alive. She's in my veins, and this is one war I cannot afford to lose against her. He's a battle I'm willing to fight. They say nothing worthwhile comes easy, that if you want something bad enough, you have to fight to get it. They're idiots. They say love is a battlefield, and they were right about that, but this isn't a battle of wills. It's a battle to the death. He thinks I can be saved. I don't want to be saved; I want to destroy everything and everyone that ever hurt me. I want the world to feel my pain, to taste my rage. I'm not their savior; I'm their damnation. I don't want to be saved by him or his kind. I'm the War they won't see coming until I'm on top of them, waging it against them. I am Erie, and I'm going to set the world on fire and walk through the ashes of those who have wronged me. Warning: Erie isn't a hero; she's the antihero in this story. This isn't a love story. It's a dark and twisted battle of wills and bare bones. They're going to war against one another, and it will be brutal, chaotic, and beautiful. So if you're not into dark re-telling of twisted love stories, this isn't for you. Thank you for looking, but I'm an unapologetic author of alpha-holes and the women who fight back against them. I don't believe in insta-love. I believe in putting them through hell and making them earn it first.

Download or read book Within These Wicked Walls written by Lauren Blackwood and published by Wednesday Books. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An intricate magic system, a grimly humorous Black heroine, AND a heart-thumping romance? This book leaves nothing wanting." - Jordan Ifueko, New York Times bestselling author of Raybearer Andromeda is a debtera—an exorcist hired to cleanse households of the Evil Eye. She would be hired, that is, if her mentor hadn’t thrown her out before she could earn her license. Now her only hope of steady work is to find a Patron—a rich, well-connected individual who will vouch for her abilities. When a handsome young heir named Magnus Rorschach reaches out to hire her, she takes the job without question. Never mind that he’s rude and demanding and eccentric, that the contract comes with a number of outlandish rules... and that almost a dozen debtera had quit before her. If Andromeda wants to earn a living, she has no choice. But she quickly realizes this is a job like no other, with horrifying manifestations at every turn, and that Magnus is hiding far more than she has been trained for. Death is the most likely outcome if she stays, the reason every debtera before her quit. But leaving Magnus to live out his curse alone isn’t an option because—heaven help her—she’s fallen for him. Stunningly romantic, Lauren Blackwood's heartstopping debut, Within These Wicked Walls, ushers in an exciting new fantasy voice. "Fierce, eerie and heartfelt... a romantic and spine-chilling reimagining of a classic. I loved every creepy, swoon-worthy moment of it." - Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds
