Chapter 1: The Summoned Bride The ancient oak doors of Blackthorn Manor creaked open like the groan of forgotten ghosts as I stepped across the threshold, my simple traveling cloak still damp from the relentless English rain. At twenty-four, Elara Thorne had left behind the quiet life of a village herbalist and healer to answer a summons I could not ignore. The letter, sealed with black wax and an unfamiliar crest, had promised salvation for my ailing sister in exchange for one year of service. What it hadn’t detailed was the true nature of my new employers.

Callie just gave her a wide doggy smile. After cleaning up, they pulled out Rose’s futon and curled up together. Although the sex was amazing, Seth had to admit he liked this part almost as much. Which meant he was turning into a total sap. He could just imagine what Max would’ve said: Watch out. You’re not getting out of that trap anytime soon, man. Seth moved his hand under his pillow, only to find a book there. He pulled it out. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. “Oh, I’d forgotten I’d put that there.” Rose took the book from him, smiling. “This is one of my favorites.” Her eyes widened. “The hero’s name is Mr. Thornton, actually. John Thornton.”

Victoria said all of a sudden again and I glared at her. “I don't think it would be a problem but if it is then I will gladly withdraw it. Mr. Black is smarter than that though. If he is going after someone then it should be Leonard Byers. He was the one that cheated on his daughter afterall.” I explained it well to her and she nodded. “I know that I have been super nosy nowadays. I apologize for doing that but it won't stop anytime soon. I am way too curious.” she said and I chuckled.

Leila checked the time on her wristwatch for the sixth time that morning. She moaned as she slumped against the car seat; it was nearly nine o'clock, the first period would have ended, and she would have already missed her Chemical techniques test. She used to be a straight-A student in junior year, but her grades began to slip as she entered senior year. Ms. Annabeth, the chemical techniques tutor, was the only teacher who seemed genuinely concerned about this and took the time to talk to her. She'd promised her that she'd work on herself and try harder to read, but now she'd not even been on time to take her test!

Chapter 3: Now that her father had returned to London and she had a few weeks to go before starting at the academy with Madame Blanchard, Rose could focus on the old estate. She liked the old furniture and the smell of wax used to polish it, some of it could use reupholstering. Ok most of it. Moving from room to room she became alarmingly aware that much of this house was left to rot. Although her dad had a pest control team go through and rid them of rats and other vermin, the aftermath of the hibernation was overwhelming in some rooms. Until she came to one that was locked. Frustrated, she called for Mrs. Stuart. Issabelle made it to her much quicker than the older house keeper and offered

she exclaimed. “If I'll never guess then there is no point in me guessing is there?” I sighed and placed my laptop bag down at the side. “I had a visit from mother earlier and she wanted to know if we were interested in going to the Thorns charity event next Saturday!” The Thorns are well known for their status and money. 20 years ago, Richard and Lesley Thorn invested in setting up a local apple orchard and cidery and opened Thorn cider. Before long they had expanded across the country. Their brand quickly hit shelves across all supermarkets and stores in the UK. Although their wealth has grown, the family stayed local and chose to run the local site as opposed to moving away. Their childre

She trusted him to know what mattered and what did not. Three weeks after Sasha's return, Thorne came to her room at midnight. His face was pale, his jaw tight, and he was carrying a book so old that its leather cover was cracked and flaking. He placed it on her desk without a word. Ela looked at the spine. The symbols carved into it were unfamiliar, ancient, written in a language she had never seen. She looked at Thorne. His expression was unreadable, but his hands were shaking. Where did you find this? she asked.

"My name is Rebecca Greene, I'm my father's daughter. I hold a master's degree in business administration and I'm currently the head of Greene Empire. Thats all there is about me, and that's how I'd love to be addressed," "This is not appropriate. Let go of me, Rebecca," "Give my company a chance, and I will," "Let me get this, you're in my house, a house deep in the woods and surrounded by men and tamed wild beasts,you barely even know me. Yet you're in my room, giving commands. Don't you think I could just kill you?" "You could, but you won't," "And what makes you think I won't?" "I just know you wouldn't hurt me, Mr. Knox,"

Then he put the food in the insulated lunch bag, and then he left the beach mansion and went to his boss's matrimonial mansion. Thorne took his laptop and headed down to the wine cellar. He switched on the lights, and then he put the laptop on the floor. He took the KWV brandy from the shelf. He washed the glass, and then he sat cross-legged on the plush carpet. Thorne poured himself a stiff drink and drank it down in one gulp. Then he started reading about his beloved Paula’s activities when she was abroad. He felt like his heart had been squeezed by invisible hands. After the abortion, Paula’s lover hid her in one of his properties for months until his wife discovered her and beat her up.
