The night before her marriage to the beloved Prince Maverick, Lady Maxine, a renowned healer of Beddington, finds herself ensnared in a world of darkness. Captured by mysterious raiders, her life takes an unimaginable turn as she becomes the prisoner of a creature who was supposed to exist only in the pages of horror books – the Duke of Ashbourne, Duke Sullivan, a vampire. Duke Sullivan reveals his plight to Maxine – he has been ailing for a century and has searched relentlessly for a healer to cure him. The catch? Maxine is the key to his salvation, a healer unlike any he has encountered before. But Maxine faces a daunting dilemma. How does she explain to a creature that vampires do not exist outside of tales and in those tales, they cannot fall ill? Trapped in his shadowy domain, her options are stark: heal him or face dire consequences. Maxine's life takes a dizzying turn as she finds herself wed to two powerful men. One is Prince Maverick, her cherished childhood love, who would move heaven and earth to be with her. The other is the enigmatic Duke Sullivan, a creature of darkness, who desires nothing more than her unparalleled healing power. As the days unfold, Maxine uncovers Duke Sullivan's hidden desires, a yearning that transcends the boundaries of their peculiar alliance. Seduction becomes a perilous game, and Maxine teeters on the edge of an impossible choice. However, slowly, Maxine begins to figure out that her two husbands were not what they seemed to be on the outside. They were much darker, even her lovely, caring husband might be worse. _____ A vampire is triggered by an open blood, but Maxine's blood was not a regular one. It had a high level of sweetness, one they could taste already with their sharp noses. Sullivan looked around, ensuring there was no further threat and then he looked at her with pardoning eyes, "Do not be..." "Stay away from me!" Maxine shouted. Her voice became low, scared that she would attract more bloodlust creatures. "Don't... don't even come nearer." However, in a blur of motion, Sullivan scooped Maxine into his arms who immediately hugged him, knowing what he was about to do. And suddenly, Sullivan whisked her away from the scene. They arrived in his chamber, and he gently set her down, his eyes now holding a mix of concern and apology. "It's dangerous to..." Seeing that her blood still dripped from the wound on her neck, Sullivan took a step closer, his fingers trembling as he wiped the blood away with a gentle touch before licking the blood off his thumb. _______
*anderes Werk des Autors (Sie gehört dem Dämonenkönig)* *** Man sagt, Gegensätze ziehen sich an, das ist eine Lüge. Gegensätze töten sich gegenseitig! Wenn ein heißes Blut auf ein anderes heißes Blut trifft, ist es vorprogrammiert, dass die Dinge brennen. Genau das passiert, als die aufgeblasene und stolze Elfenprinzessin Neriah aus dem Königreich Avelah gezwungen wird, den forschen Drachenprinzen Barak aus dem Königreich Trago zu heiraten. Neriahs Ziel ist es, eines Tages aus ihrer Ehe auszubrechen und mit der Liebe ihres Lebens, Lyle von den Niles, durchzubrennen. Barak hingegen wird alles tun, um sie als Ehefrau zu behalten. Neriah ist sich sicher, dass sie in einen anderen verliebt ist, aber sie ist sich auch sicher, dass niemand die Leidenschaft entfachen kann, die ihr Mann ausstrahlt. Ihr Mann, den sie mehr als alles andere hasst. Können die Flammen der Leidenschaft aus dem Hass entfacht werden? Kann dieselbe Leidenschaft die Mauern aus Lügen, Verrat und Schmerz niederbrennen? Kann sich ihre Asche in Liebe verwandeln? Auszug "Ich bin eine Rose, eine schöne Blume, zart und kostbar! Aber Sie, mein lieber Herr, sind nichts weiter als ein dorniger Stängel! Stachelig, gefährlich und sehr schädlich!", schimpfte Neriah, während sie mit ihrem Zeigefinger in seine Brust stach. "Nun, du scheinst ein wichtiges Detail zu vergessen, meine Liebe." Ruhig ergriff er ihre stochernde Hand. "Und was soll das sein, mein feiner Herr?" "Dass der dornige Stängel und die Rose zusammenwachsen. Die zarte Rose und der stachelige Dorn, sie gehören zusammen, meine Liebe." "Du..." "Und keine noch so große Schimpftirade wird das ändern. Denkst du, ich will eine Hexe wie dich behalten? Du bist eine Nervensäge. Wenn ich ein Dorn bin, dann bist du ein Stück Fischgräte, das in meinem Hals steckt. Ich kann es nicht schlucken und ich kann es nicht ausspucken! Ich muss es einfach ertragen!" "Du frecher Bastard! Willst du damit sagen, dass ich eine Last bin!" "Na, du bist ja auch kein kostbarer Preis, oder?" Und das war's, sie stürzte sich auf ihn und wollte ihm die Krallen ins Gesicht schlagen, aber er war schneller, fing ihre beiden Hände mit einer seiner eigenen und drückte ihre wogende Brust an seine. Goldene Augen starrten tief in die ihren. Sie waren so grün wie die frischen Blätter eines Orangenbaums. Seine Finger streichelten ihr Gesicht: "Du magst kein kostbarer Preis sein, aber bei den Himmeln, du gehörst mir." Und seine Lippen fielen auf ihre, und wieder einmal wurde ein Streit ertränkt.

Did I transmigrated into a novel?!” Join the world where love knows no Boundary. ————————————————————————————————————-———————— Behind us a big commotion arose and we were tossed to the sidelines like the forgotten rag dolls. Cameras flashing. Reporters hovering the place to get the perfect shot, each scraping for even the tiniest glance at the powerful figures that emerged out of their cars. I was left in awe of the dazzling socialite ladies as they strutted across the carpet, ignoring everyone they deemed beneath them. Their million dollar dresses and jewelleries leaving everyone with envy. Accompanying them were the well - known businessmen whose money never seemed to run out. Following behind them came the well - known actors and actresses. They waved and smiled while the onlookers screams of joy and appreciation for them filled the environment. I nudged Rebecca and whispered “Can I go back now?” “No way! It’s a masquerade ball. We can be anyone we want.” She replied while smiling ear to ear. “Ok” I thought as my confidence level piped up a bit. No one was gonna know that a complete outsider had entered their territory. . . . "Stop! I don’t want to dance." "We’re in a masquerade ball! That’s what people do. Dance." "But...I can’t." He gave a little chuckle enjoying our little fight before he intervened, "It’s ok. I can teach you. Just follow my steps." "Common Hayls. Go on." "Alright, I’ll go," I said, giving her a look. "Have fun!" She gave a soft cheer before focusing all her attention back into her plate. He held my left hand and gently led me towards the dance floor. The music soon changed to something more romantic. The magic of love by Russel Watson and Lionel Richie started playing in the background. Soon all the couples started dancing together. "Are you ready?" The man whispered in my ear making me blush. "Ready as I’ll ever be," I replied hesitantly. "Don’t worry. I’m here, just follow my lead." He gently held onto my waist with his right hand and grabbed onto my right hand with his left. I lightly placed my left hand onto his right shoulder and we started our slow dance. "Right, left, Glide, glide…" Along with our dance, he kept whispering the steps to me and soon we were in sync with each other. We spun, laughed, and before the end of our dance, the music went into slow beat again. We softly danced to the rhythm as I basked in his rich and beautiful fragrance. It was all truly a magical moment. . . . Hello everyone I’m Bandana & this is my very first Novel.

Silla and her betrothed would never take that place. Seol opens her mouth; it is now or never. “Don’t say it,” he cuts her off, a hand stretched out for a lonely snowflake to perch upon. It turns translucent against his roughed palm. “My hand isn’t made for snowflakes,” he sounds joyous, as he always does – when she is weeping within. His eyes remain resolutely elsewhere. “I’ve been summoned to the garrison,” he continues in that same flat tone. “My last duty here will be to deliver your highness to your betrothed.” She is unaware of the tear that has escaped, until an ice cold thumb brushes it off. “Don’t cry,” he says then and she sees the laughing spark in his eyes for what it truly is; longing. “It breaks my heart.” ***Volume 1 Isadora, pregnant with Maxwell's child, has no choice but to accept his offer to live in his mansion and keep the pregnancy a secret because her family disowned her.
