Rachel Roses

The night before graduation, my best friend Sophie talked me into confessing to Lucas Sterling, the boy I'd secretly loved for three years. She said Lucas was at the basketball court, wearing a white T-shirt. I gathered every ounce of courage I had, grabbed the bouquet of roses, and rushed over. I came up behind a boy and covered his eyes with my hands. "Lucas, I've liked you for so long!" I felt his body go rigid. He turned around — and the face staring back at me was dangerously handsome, with a wild edge to his gaze. It was Dominic Blackwood. The one person at Westfield High that nobody dared to cross. I spun around to run, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me against his chest. He dipped his head, breathing in the scent of my hair, his voice rough and low. "What did you just say? That you like me?" "Say it again." "If you don't, I'll kiss you right here in front of the whole school."

Marina had spent her life clawing against poverty, illness, and desperation. With her mother and brother gravely unwell and her family barely surviving, she makes a dangerous choice. To become a royal consort. Trading her body and freedom for the power to save the people she loves. It is not romance she seeks, but leverage. King Xanthanius was murdered by betrayal and brought back from the dead by a single, fatal error made during his killing. Immortal but incomplete, half of his life force was stolen, leaving his resurrection imperfect and his existence unstable. Determined to reclaim what was taken, he rules with calculated cruelty and a singular obsession. Restoring his immortality at any cost. When Marina enters his court as a consort, Xanthanius initially sees her as nothing more than a crowd to his space then a disposable pawn, useful for navigating political traps and accomplishing delicate tasks beneath a King’s notice. But Marina is not as expendable as he assumes. Her presence is an untold key to the missing half of his immortality. She is tied to the very power Xanthanius needs to survive. Bound by mutual exploitation, desire, and distrust, Marina and Xanthanius use each other to pursue their own ends until ambition blurs into intimacy and manipulation gives way to something far more dangerous. Because falling in love with Marina may cost Xanthanius the immortality he’s willing to kill for and Marina must decide whether saving her family is worth destroying the man she’s come to care for. #romantasy #darkromance #mistress #ruthlessking #steamy

A NOVEL ON STOCKHOLM SYNDROME BOOK 3 OF A THREE BOOK SERIES *TRIGGER WARNING* This book contains scenes that some readers may find disturbing… and also slightly annoying. “Miss. Iris, do you believe she has a point?” she asked and returned to her seat once again. “I don’t think so, her father and uncle deserve to go to jail.” My answer extracted a smile from her like she was proud of my response. “My name is Christine; I am a renowned medico-legal psychotherapist. Been in the business for over twenty years and that is what a case of Stockholm syndrome looks like. In my years of experience, we see situations similar to this but its our job to help the victims realize” “Wow…” I started, really amazed at what she had said and what her work entails. I was only concerned why they locked me in a room with a psychotherapist “it must be difficult at times” I added. “yeah, its difficult every time” she laughed “but today isn’t about me, I have a question for you.” There was a brief pause in between before she carried on “Does Hunter deserve to go to jail?”

An meinem Hochzeitstag wurden mein Verlobter und meine jüngere Schwester Rachel erwischt, wie sie leidenschaftlich in der privaten Lounge miteinander schliefen. Ich war zur Lachnummer für alle geworden, doch dann machte mir mein Jugendfreund Jason Law vor allen Augen einen Heiratsantrag und stellte sich schützend vor mich. Nachdem wir geheiratet hatten, war er der perfekte Ehemann … außer im Schlafzimmer. Es wirkte immer, als wäre sein Herz nie wirklich dabei. Erst dieses Jahr, durch eine IVF-Behandlung, gelang es mir überhaupt, schwanger zu werden. Danach umsorgte und behütete er mich noch aufmerksamer als zuvor. Ich war überzeugt, bei ihm meine Heimat gefunden zu haben … Bis ich eines Tages zufällig mitbekam, wie er sich mit einem Freund unterhielt. „Jason, du bist wirklich skrupellos. Nina ist so gut zu dir. Wie konntest du einfach ihre Eizelle gegen Rachels austauschen, nur weil Rachel zu viel Angst vor der Geburt hat? Das Baby kommt in zwei Monaten zur Welt. Was willst du dann tun?“ Jason schwieg einen Moment, dann seufzte er. „Sobald das Baby da ist, gebe ich es Rachel. Damit erfülle ich ihr einen Herzenswunsch. Was Nina angeht … ich werde ihr einfach sagen, dass wir das Baby verloren haben. Ich werde es wieder gutmachen, indem ich für den Rest ihres Lebens bei ihr bleibe.“ Also so war das. Er hatte mich all die Zeit nur ihretwegen so behutsam beschützt. Ohne zu zögern ging ich weg und vereinbarte einen Termin für den Abbruch. Dieses unreine Kind wollte ich nicht. Und diese betrügerische Ehe erst recht nicht.
