Gavin Rough

Ripples of the Rhône

Set in early 1990s Lyon, Ripples of the Rhône follows Lydia Shaw, an 18-year-old orphan racing to her Baccalauréat finals when she witnesses a stroller plunging into the churning Rhône River. Her split-second decision to rescue the drowning mother and child costs precious exam time – until a documentary crew captures the act, convincing strict Professor Laurent to admit her moments before deadline. The heroic deed earns Lydia a spot on Riverside Stories, Lyon’s beloved TV series, where she earns her first paycheck and collides with Gavin Sterling – the artistic rebel she’s secretly sketched in her notebooks for years. Their summer blossoms amid Lyon’s traboule courtyards: Gavin teaching her to trace Renaissance frescoes, Lydia grounding his restless spirit. But when both win scholarships to Sorbonne University, Gavin vanishes overnight with only a tainted farewell: "Family obligations require my absence. Do not wait." Five years later, Lydia’s drowning in medical debts from her grandmother’s illness. Desperate, she agrees to Jonathan Chase’s contract marriage proposal: two years of staged matrimony in exchange for covered hospice care. As she signs the papers in his penthouse office, the elevator opens to reveal Gavin – now a razor-sharp executive in Tom Ford silk, scanning her thrift-store dress like a forgotten museum piece. When Jonathan’s pen touches the contract, Gavin slams his palm on the document, eyes blazing: "A marriage of convenience? Darling, I’m the only candidate qualified to ruin you properly.

A withering flower at devil's mercy

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please…don't do this,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. "But you chased me all the way back!" her lips met his crushing her mouth with a forceful kiss burning her up. She groaned trying to free herself but it was a futile attempt. Dragging her to bed as she tried another futile attempt to escape he stripped her with rough yet controlled hands. "You could've casted me out of there. Gotten married to your ex. You had a better choice given," he kissed her collarbone. " But here you are laying beneath me as it was that night. When you were just a clueless innocent virgin." he grinned sarcastically. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper still trying to move away from his touch. "It useless to defy me. Now this is the only place left for you." And he reclaimed her with burning passion rendering her attempts to refuse him and escape him futile. ----->>>>> Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But worse yet the man who she was supposed to be wedded was replaced by a more ruthless hound. A more agonizing revelation that he was a slave with empty title in name. The white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

Dari Gavin, oleh Gavin, dan Untuk Gavin!

Kalau julukan 'Jomblo Ngenes' itu berwujudkan manusia, Gavinlah manusia sial itu. Gimana nggak, dari zaman sekolah sampai sekarang, masa iya nggak pernah deket sama cewek? Saking pemalu dan pendiamnya, dia bahkan jarang ngobrol sama cewek. Dia selalu sama Revan. Playboy kelas kerapu yang kelakuannya kayak influencer endorse kondom. Dia mancing sama Revan, traveling sama Revan, hiking sama Revan, pokoknya mainnya sama Revaaaan mulu, sampe kerja pun bareng Revan. Untung nggak homo. Minusnya, dia jadi ikutan rada-rada. Dia yang tipikal cowok lurus berkacamata, gara-gara bergaul sama Revan dari zaman sekolah, ya kelakuannya jadi kayak monyet, nyaris niruin Revan. Kehidupan Gavin berjalan damai-damai aja... sampe suatu hari, datanglah seorang cewek bernama Nadine. Nadine itu cantik, imut, dan centil; dia adalah anggota divisinya Revan yang naksir sama Gavin secara terang-terangan. Bukan naksir dengan kalem ala-ala drama Korea, ...tapi naksir yang levelnya sampe teriak-teriak: "PAK GAVIN, AKU SUKA SAMA BAPAK!!! BAPAK GANTENG BANGET, ASTAGAAI!!!" Selaku jomblo dari orok, Gavin panik nggak, tuh? Panik, dong! Apakah Gavin siap menghadapi kenyataan bahwa hidupnya mungkin nggak selamanya dari Revan, oleh Revan, dan untuk Revan? ****** Ini adalah spin-off dari ceritaku yang sudah terbit berjudul 'My Man'. Bercerita tentang Gavin, kakaknya Talitha, bersama dengan sohibnya yang bernama Revan. Buku ini ditulis dengan bahasa yang santai (tidak baku).
