Amberhall

England, 1856. When Saphira Newgate arrives at Amberhall in Warwickshire to assume the position of governess to young Lamia Trafalgar, she expects discipline, duty, and quiet anonymity. What she does not expect is to find refuge. After years spent within the rigid walls of a boarding school, Amberhall offers her a fragile sense of belonging. Through patience and quiet strength, Saphira wins the trust of her timid pupil, forming a tender, protective, and fiercely loyal bond. But the fragile peace of the estate shifts with the return of its master. The Earl of Trafalgar—war hero, cynical aristocrat, and a man haunted by his past— a presence that unsettles the household. Lamia shrinks from him. The servants fall silent. And Saphira, determined yet cautious, resolves to mend the fractured bond between uncle and niece. What begins as a matter of duty soon becomes something far more dangerous. Though she strives to remain invisible, Saphira’s composure unsettle the Earl in ways no battlefield ever has. He dismisses her at first—only to find himself watching her, studying her restraint, feeling the slow and unbearable pull of something he neither expected nor permitted. Evenings at Amberhall grow charged with unspoken tension. In a world ruled by propriety and hierarchy, desire is a risk neither can afford. When Saphira flees to her family home in Durham to escape the intensity of his gaze, the Earl follows—driven not by pride, but by something far more consuming. Yet Victorian England is unforgiving.

When the Female Protagonist of an Ancient Romance Novel Transmigrate

Jiang Jiang is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhen’s household and the emperor’s personally appointed future Crown Princess. Later, she transmigrates into a book—a yuri novel—and becomes the fiancée of the older sister of the main female lead. It is said that their engagement was arranged only to fulfill her grandmother’s dying wish. In truth, the two women have no romantic feelings for each other. When Jiang Jiang meets her fiancée for the first time, the woman looks at her with an indifferent expression, impatience faintly hidden in her eyes. “I will marry you, but I will never love you.” Jiang Jiang obediently nods. She is familiar with this kind of arrangement. How many marriages between noble families are truly about love? She did not love the Crown Prince either, yet she still became Crown Princess. Ji Xu’an looks at her suspiciously, unconvinced by her meekness. — Later, Ji Xu’an realizes that Jiang Jiang is not disobedient at all—she is obedient to an excessive degree. At a hotel, a female celebrity slips into Ji Xu’an’s room. The Jiang Jiang who should have been sleeping beside her is nowhere to be seen. With a cold face, Ji Xu’an drives the woman away. Only then does she see Jiang Jiang poking her head in from outside the door, looking at her with regret. Grinding her teeth, Ji Xu’an snaps, “Don’t you know someone was trying to get close to me?” Jiang Jiang blinks her almond-shaped eyes. “Don’t you like it?” Ji Xu’an’s expression darkens further. “Do you even have a heart? Aren’t you jealous at all?” Jiang Jiang hurriedly shakes her head. Jealousy is a grave fault! Besides, isn’t it the duty of a proper wife to help her wife take in a few beautiful concubines? She is already being so obedient—why does Ji Xu’an look even angrier? — Disclaimer: All rights to the original content belong to their respective creators. Original Name: 當古言女主穿進百合文 Author: 人间甜橙

CROWN ME THEIRS: THE HEIRESS'S REVENGE REIGN

Brielle Saintclair was raised to be perfect. The jewel of the SaintClair dynasty. The beloved princess of four powerful families bound by blood and business. Her entire life pointed toward one destiny: marry one of her three childhood best friends and unite their empires forever. She loved them—Thane, Cassian, Dorian. Her protectors. Her confidants. The men who made her laugh, held her when she cried, promised she'd always be theirs. Until the night before her 25th birthday gala, when she overheard the truth hidden behind garden hedges: "Marry her? I'd rather hand my empire to strangers." "She's not the one I want. She could never be." "I'd rather die than be trapped with someone I've never even desired." Three voices. Three rejections. Three shattering revelations that the love she felt was completely one-sided. Heartbroken and humiliated, Brielle does the only thing that makes sense—she vanishes. New name. New country. New life where no one knows she's the SaintClair heiress who ran from her own engagement party. But what she doesn't know is that each man said those words to hide his true feelings. Each believed he was protecting her from obligation. Each thought the others didn't want her. And each is desperately, violently in love with her. When they discover she's gone, three ruthless heirs tear the world apart searching. When they find her transformed—powerful, cold, looking at them like strangers—they realize the devastating truth: their lies didn't protect her. They destroyed her. Now begins the real battle. Three men competing to prove their love is real. One woman who refuses to be anyone's consolation prize. And a revenge plot that will burn their families' empires to ash. She ran from their rejection. Now they'll crawl through hell to earn her back.

New Bad Beginning [eng]

A witch without faith. A war without heroes. This is not the Dragon Age you remember. The main character of the work is Morrigan. The one... The overbearing, intelligent, sarcastic and not-so-mysterious companion of the protagonist of Dragon Age: Origins. In contrast to the original, the entire focus of the story shifts to this amazing daughter of Flemette. By fate, as in the canon, the witch leaves Korkari. But it is not only the threat of Blight that drives her on her difficult adventures, relentlessly flooding the south of Ferelden with darkness and death. The attack... And the personal entanglements the Sorceress finds herself in force her to become more active. In the name of survival, she transforms from follower to leader. From now on, the girl no longer chooses who to stay with, but who is trustworthy, or at least curious enough to stay. Others will lose the support of the reluctant southerner. Ambition, growing amidst the gathering darkness of madness and the flames of civil war, will determine where the new path will take her. A tangle of wit, magic and contingency knows no bounds. The narrative is based on a classic Dragon Age episode, centred on a desperate band of disparate individuals facing the threat of the Fifth Dawn. There are changes of varying degrees to the series of events that have already occurred and future events that are inherent to the canon. Some are on the surface. Others are less visible. Who is the saviour here? And is there one at all? What if the familiar characters had a slightly different, more down-to-earth motivation? Or if a series of miraculous rescues didn't happen? Characters with a prominent role in the canon might be left behind, die or suffer unforeseen consequences. I invite the reader to the fire, to experience this small but hopefully fascinating experiment together.

I Got Scammed By An Angel: Book 1

[A Year of Grace- Book 1] Nyxara When I woke up cold, leaning against a tree in the woods, I wondered if there were a few details I wasn't told by the angel who sent me here. It wasn’t long before the brothers I had lost in my past life found me—right as I was trying to find my way out of the woods. They brought me home to the parents who weren’t dead. Since I didn’t get this world’s Nyxara’s memories, I’m claiming amnesia due to trauma. When I was given the choice between redoing my own life or being sent to an alternate universe, I chose the second option. I didn’t want to deal with the shattered remains of my past. What I wasn’t told? While this is a very different life, some people from my old world are still making my life hell in this one. And now, they might have fangs, mind powers, or claws. I’m not the me in my last life, and I’m not the me of this life. So… who am I? On that note, what in the world is an alpha, beta, or omega? Looks like I have a lot to learn—and fast—if I want to graduate from the Sentinels of Accord Academy, let alone survive in a world filled with supernatural beings. It's a new exciting world just waiting for me to claim my place in it. Top 3 in the end of year competitions looks like a good start. This year is going to be amazing. (The romance is slow-burn. 5 mates in total. The romance doesn't really start in this book. All mates are introduced though.) [Daily Chapter Release and Free until completion]
