Julie James Novels Novels & Stories

It didn’t seem to affect him at all, which made her seethe even more. “I’ll lock up the house and leave, Mr. St. James,” said Mrs. Jules with a warm smile. “Yes, please. Mrs. Jules, if you need work, you can meet my grandpa, Benjamin St. James.” She smiled at him gratefully. “Yes, I’ll do that. Thank you. Have a wonderful married life. I hope to see you both soon.” Skylar seethed at their interaction. How could he win Mrs. Jules over so easily? Was he a wizard in disguise with a magic potion to cast a spell on innocent people?

Most of them were what I expected—books on strategy, history, a few on Italian mafia politics. And then, tucked on the bottom shelf, almost hidden— "You weren't kidding about these?" I pulled one out, raising an eyebrow. "Really?" "Put that back." "The Duke's Dangerous Desire," I read aloud, grinning. "A Rake's Redemption. The Highlander's Captive Bride—" "Jameson." Her voice was sharp, but I could hear the embarrassment underneath. "Put them back." "I'm not judging," I said, turning to face her. "I'm just surprised. You kill people for a living, but you read romance novels?"

"No test, Jerry. I think Julia sometimes believes the same thing; that I'm somehow testing our marriage. I know what her fantasies were. I read a few of the same books she did to see where her mind is. I have no doubt she would remain faithful if it was something I required of her. Our marriage has been and is strong. Once I decided to do this, it was the biggest question I had; whether or not I could let her have every experience she dreamed about. I didn't ask her if she wanted to do this until I was reasonably sure I could let it go all the way. I admit to a small sense of relief when you chose Lisa last night, but I was perfectly willing to let her proceed as red silk last night. It woul

“You know, you talk about him differently now. And you talk about him a lot.” Victoria frowned and denied it quickly. “I do not.” Julie shook her head slowly. “You do. In fact, you smile when you talk about him.” “That’s just your overactive imagination.” She countered. Julie ignored her. “I’ve written enough romance novels. And read even more.” Victoria immediately knew where this conversation was heading. “Oh no.” Julie nodded enthusiastically. “Oh yes.” She began counting on her fingers. “Contract marriage. Cold billionaire. Independent female lead. They’re forced to live together.”

Nonetheless, Julian's curt reply was intimidating. Even through the phone, it was effective in scaring James so much that he felt weak in the knees. It was only after the call ended that he managed to calm down and breathe normally once again. He glared hard at the woman next to him. “Has Julian fought with Kayla recently?” “No,” Lucy, the woman, replied. “Kayla told me that Julian treats her very well, and was even willing to get a divorce for her sake.” A cheerful glint flashed past her eyes as she went on, “James, when our daughter Kayla officially becomes Mrs. Fulcher, will you make me your official wife too? I don’t want to stay in the kitchen and wait on that old hag anymore…”

Or did he already slide too deep in to get back up? *** (Julienne) JULIE CRAIG HAD never liked the shadows in the woods, never liked the darkness. She slept with the dim light burning, for the power of darkness, for the mystery of darkness always frightened her, and of course, she was ashamed of her childishness, but then… she had always felt more in the dark, more. Sensed the trouble walking just behind her windows, and stayed safe. Better safe than sorry. Even if there was nothing, she would be safe.

He moves his hand through his hair, closes his eyes, and then crosses his arms. “My reputation is almost ruined. I need you to make sure that I get out of this without time,” Richard says, and Julien smiles. “Don’t worry, I am going to destroy the guy,” he says, and Richard smiles. I watch as they both start talking about all the dirt that Julien got on James, and I can’t believe half of it. He was married before, and his wife left him because he threatened to kill her when she was late from work one day. He has a history of violence, and Julien is ready to use it.

in Julia's tone caught everyone off guard. Unperturbed, Julia expanded upon her earlier declaration, her voice audacious and unapologetic. "I sought after Jared's wealth and aspired to become the mistress of this estate. And not only that, I've formulated a cunning plan over the past few days. I sedated Jared, engaged in a physical relationship with him, and subsequently manipulated conception, ensuring he wouldn't be able to extricate himself from me." Julia's confession left Yannie and the others gaping. They had encountered shameless individuals before, but Julia's brazenness in openly and unabashedly voicing her intentions was beyond their wildest expectations.

“You’d like her. She’s got this way of making everyone feel at ease.” I almost drop my cup. Julia. He’s talking about Julia. My grip on the mug tightens. Julia—my former best friend, the woman who stole my husband. The betrayal still feels fresh. It feels like an open wound that refuses to heal. But James doesn’t know that. “Oh,” I say “What’s she like?” “her name is Julia. She's incredible,” James says with a smile “She’s smart, driven, always looking out for the people she cares about. Honestly, she’s more like a sister to me than a cousin.”

"Thanks. You'll definitely make a good wife for Jules." "Wife? Me?" My smile froze on my face. I quickly placed another piece of pork ribs onto James' plate. "Oh, sweet summer child, I wear the pants in this relationship. By right, Julius should be my wife." Confused, James asked, "Huh? But Jules said that you're—" Before he could finish speaking, I cut him off right away, "What he said doesn't count." Then, I reached out to ruffle his fluffy hair. James merely nodded in response.
