Evelina

Temptations Of Love

SLOW BURN Love is a searing trail she's afraid to follow. ..... Evelina Wilson was sure of everything she wanted in life, and finding love didn't make the list. She has been scorched and scarred too much, she had shut her heart against it and and any form of its fantasies — atleast so she thought till she met him, Pete Hudson, her 'dare kiss'. All it took was one dare to kiss the lips of a stranger at the bachelorette party she had been forced to attend, to be exposed to a world of unending temptations. She wants to stay away from him, but he has her in a snare. How far can she fight off her temptations, before she gives in to the fantasies she's scared of? What would it take for her to heal and how long will he wait? EXCERPT ******** Alexandra and Christopher. Christopher caught the glint of excitement and expectations in her eyes. "I still think you're a very foolish girl to want this..want me." He told her, and Alexa daringly tipped her chin at him. "Why? Because you think you're going to hurt me?" "No, silly girl, because I will do more than hurt you. I'm not a good man for you, and you deserve better. Far better than me. And while I'd hate to have someone touch your lips again," he grazed his thumb against her soft lips. "it's a truth that has to be told." Unaware of herself, Alexa inched closer to him as if spirited by something unknown. Her face lifted to his till he felt her minty breath on his chin and her fingers brushing against it. "I do not doubt there's better out there for me, Christopher—" She muttered, and his brows twitched before narrowing to a knot. "Yes, there a few men out there who'd care about me and my feelings more than you'd ever be capable of. Of course, they're smarter, more handsome —" "Thread with caution, Alexa," He darkly drawled, and Alexa held back the smile about to spread across her face. She continued. "Yes, there is a line of perfect men out there, maybe a short one, because I doubt such precious jewels would be abundant. They have to be rare." "Alexandra!" "But despite this possibility of good men being out there, I still want you, Christopher. Yes, you'll burn me, but I've had my battle scars already. If this will be my end, then I pick you to be the fire that ruins me because I'll have it no other way." "Alexandra," He husked, breathing out her name as her dainty hands cupped his face and pulled him down till he touched her lips with his one more time. "And just so you know, you're not safe from me because I'll hurt you too, as that is all I've ever known, Christopher. I'll take from you till there's nothing left of you take." She said, trying her best to use the very words he had said to her over that kitchen island a few days ago. While her voice lacked the vigor he had possessed when he said those words to her, she meant every word of it. They both wanted each other, so they would take whatever they could from the other. She inched closer, and Christopher let her do as she pleased with him. She teased him with her not-so-naive lips, and he groaned. He gripped his hand around hers when she broke the kiss and tried to pull away. He tried controlling his strength as he roughly pulled her back, slamming her slender body against his. "I'm going to brand you mine. All mine, Alexandra. And I want you to remember it was you who wanted this. You." He told her as if wanting to drill the words into her skull, so she would never forget. "Alexandra?" He called when she stared silently at him. Nodding, she agreed. "I won't forget." A steady romance with a lot of sweetness. NOTE: I WRITE SLOW BURN.

In the kingdom of Valenhelm, where power is brokered not on the battlefield but in the shadows of the royal court, Lucien Valenheim plays a dangerous game. As a noble of impeccable reputation, Lucien navigates court politics with poise and grace. But behind his calm exterior lies a secret: he is the leader of The Omniscient, the most feared and powerful underground network in the kingdom, controlling the flow of information with ruthless precision. Armed with the ability to glimpse the future through his omniscient power, Lucien is always two steps ahead—until now. When whispers of a rival named Cedric Hale threaten Lucien’s carefully laid plans, a treacherous political chess game begins. Cedric’s ambition is matched only by his growing influence, and he’s backed by some of the kingdom’s most powerful nobles. As alliances form and fracture, Lucien must use every ounce of his cunning to protect his chosen pawn, Armin Draegar, and ensure his rise to the throne. But power always comes at a cost.

He can no longer trust even those closest to him—including Evelina, a noblewoman whose growing influence in the court draws both his suspicion and reluctant admiration. Is she a valuable ally or a deadly rival in disguise? As tensions mount and threats emerge from unexpected quarters—foreign powers, rebellious factions, and the ominous hand of betrayal—Lucien finds himself facing an impossible choice. With the kingdom teetering on the edge of chaos, will he be able to control the game, or will it spiral beyond even his grasp? In this world of intrigue and manipulation, where love and loyalty are never as they seem, every move is a risk, and every secret is a weapon. The Dual Masquerade is a high-stakes tale of political intrigue, dark secrets, and the thin line between control and chaos.
