Rhea Ripley

Lord Holloway's Adored Lady: Climbing The Ranks After Divorce

Lady Rhea Montgomery, Countess of Riverian has the perfect life. A wonderful, powerful husband who rules his county with dignity and honour. Enough wealth to keep her dressed in the finest of silks and decked in jewels to enhance her radiant beauty. And people who love her as their beloved Countess. Life is perfect, until suddenly it isn't and Rhea loses everything to a woman younger and more capable. Becoming no one after being someone is almost too much to bear and just when Rhea resigns herself to her fate, along comes Lord Augustus Holloway, Duke of Ravenholm. Everything she has heard about the powerful and dangerous man says to stay away but his sweet fondness for her says otherwise. Augustus seduces Rhea into his frightening yet exciting world and leaves her questioning whether she could be someone without Lanon, and if her connection to him is worth the chaos it brings into her once peaceful life. Rhea had once been a merchant's daughter and then a Countess. If she played the game right, and she damn well will, she could become a Duchess or maybe even Queen. ____ Note: There is some confusion because of the language I use and the setting but please be aware that THIS IS NOT A HISTORICAL NOVEL. It's a mix between 19th/20th century society and values and modern day technological advances. Please keep that in mind so you don't go in with expectations that will not be met. If you're cool with that, go right ahead and enjoy.

Bound To The Ice Dragon King

"I was once killed by my previous lover." "Huh, then how are you still alive?" "I'm still alive because I'm destined to meet you." ----- Rheanna Villden finds herself thrust into a marriage that was never meant for her but her stepsister. Forced to wed a man with a reputation for hideousness, she desperately tries to break free from the chains of her predetermined destiny. But fate has a cruel sense of humor, and Rhea soon discovers that her escape only leads her right back into the hands of the very man she was running from. As the forceful wedding unfolds, Rhea unearths a stunning truth - the man she is being forced to marry is an imposter! ------- Excerpt "If I were the one you met then, our life would have been a happy one now. There wouldn't be betrayal nor revange, because I would only shower you with love and a blissful life along with children born from the fruit of our love. You wouldn't have anything to worry about except who is courting your daughter in secret." A smile threatened to break apart Draven's lips at her words but he didn't smile and stared at her in silence. Rhea waited to hear him say something, but even after minutes passed, he continued to stare at her with a blank unreadable expression. Rhea's patience ran thin, she took off her shoes and stepped into the pool. Without hesitation, she hooked her arms around his neck, she leaned forward and gently bit down on his lower lip. She stuck his lip in between her teeth playfully, then she used her tongue to seductively lick the lips, "You want me, don't you?" She whispered against his mouth and deliberately pressed her body against his naked body underwater. Draven muffled a groan as he felt her body pressed against his aroused body. And without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her and crushed his lips on hers in a hungry demanding kiss. Before Rhea could lose control of herself in the kiss, she quickly pulled away before he deepened the kiss. "Stop," she said breathlessly, "You have kissed me many times, you have seen my naked body underwater, you have held me to sleep on your bed. You have to take responsibility. Will you marry me?" She asked as she glanced up at his desire filled blue eyes. --- Welcome! I'd like to thank my old and new readers for dropping by. By the way, if you haven't checked out my other book, please do. Title: Wife Of The Demon Prince. Title: Loving The Temperamental Adonis Note: this book is a slow burn romance. Happy reading!

REBIRTH: THE TYRANT'S WICKED MISTRESS

A tyrant with a blood-crazed fetish that would often lead to meaningless wars and countless death, he is the king of the beasts. He is the thirtieth emperor of the Bezarius Empire, the young prodigy, Emperor Hyan Rezenia Bezarius. He was known to be the most beautiful being in the empire with his silver locks that it would seem as if all the treasures of the empire reflected upon his long straight hair, cerulean eyes that could be compared to the glistening northern sea, paired with his ethereal features that even the priests of the Great Temple would compare his looks to the Goddess Rhea. Everyone failed to recognize the psychotic glint in his eyes. Everyone got fooled and died. Though born as a bastard among the eight princes of the empire, he rose to the peak even with the disadvantage amidst the power struggles between the eight heirs. With no faction to side him and no maternal support to lean on, the bastard fourth prince, along with his trusted aide, struggled for many seasons. Like a predator, he patiently waited to bear his canines behind his privileged brothers. He bowed his head and turned a blind eye even after the seventh consort, Lady Amina Tesero of the Nomadic tribe of the south. Lady Amina Tesoro was the seventh consort of the twenty-ninth emperor of the Bezarius Empire. She became the twenty-ninth emperor’s favorite because of her calm demeanor and astounding beauty that could compete with the bastard fourth prince’s elegance. She also caught the attention of the predatory fourth prince. Her kindness penetrated the walls protecting Prince Hyan’s heart, rendering him immobile under her charms. His confession to Lady Amina Tesoro marked his twisted journey to being the emperor, and when he finally became one, he lost his most important one. The thirtieth emperor lost his love. He lost the ability to feel any ounce of emotion. And with every emperor comes an heir. To mock his officials, Emperor Hyan Rezenia Bezarius took the ugliest lady of the empire as his wife. Lady Ivynia Ilorde Rosehil is the laughingstock of high society. With half of her face covered with dragon scales, the higher echelon dubbed Lady Ivynia as the beast among the beautiful Rosehil sisters. Her rare charcoal-colored hair and amber eyes that reflected the setting sun as if its light remained in her eyes did not compensate for her dragon scales. Lady Ivynia Ilorde Rosehil suffered ever since birth but suffered more during her reign as the empress. Watching her husband, whom she came to love, wallow in self-pity as he mourned for his lost love. While making sure that the noble faction and the aristocratic faction would not attack them underhandedly, Empress Ivynia Ilorde Bezarius suffered the greatest among anyone in the empire. And when the continent finally mobilized to take their revenge against the mad king, the empress became the widow who fought in loneliness for her unborn child, only to end up dying. And where does this bullshit crazy story take me? Oh yeah, I have become the thirtieth empress of the Bezarius Empire. And I will die again when the male protagonist of this tragic shit appears. Do I need to mention that I am inside the Netflix Series entitled “The Serenade of Death”? Of all the Netflix Series I binge-watched, do I have to be reincarnated inside the R-rated one that I loathe to the bones?

Bloodlust: Goddess of Vampires

Elysia Areklides is a lethal flower, a key pawn in the eternal war between vampire clans and the hunters that stalk them. As the daughter of Ares and Mnemosyne, she possesses abilities not granted to other vampires, and is a warrior for her clan. She finds herself intrigued by Evan, a rogue hunter and hater of vampires, who is dependent on her to aid her in finding his mother's killer. Then there is Alec, Elysia’s surly bodyguard, who watches her every move. After a confrontation with hunters at the Awakening ceremony ends in fire and blood, Elysia finds herself on the run. With the aid of Evan and Alec, she is determined to gain her family’s power back, get revenge, and end this curse upon her race once and for all. Elysia is at the center of a millennia long war between gods and ancient heroes, the living and the dead. Raised to be leader of her clan, will she be able to forge a path ahead of her, or will she let herself be consumed by the flames? * * * The blade slid through muscle and bone easily, blood flowed freely to the Earth. Spurts gushed and trickled down the pallid corpse, as the gurgles and sputters of final breath echoed off of the cavernous walls. The thick crimson liquid ran into the carved grooves of the stone altar. The altar began to glow and the room began to tremble, dust and debris fell from the ceiling of the temple ruins, the Doric columns swayed with the Earth as if they cheered and hailed the sacrifice only to slowly come to a halt and a silence that pursued the remnant ritual. A smile quirked the edges of Rhea’s lips as she brought the blade to her lips, she ran her tongue along the length of the blade. She tasted the unharnessed power simmering within her victim. She gripped the elder god by his blonde curls and yanked his head back to stare into his eyes. Lifeless, they now glowed, flecks of fire danced beneath the surface. “Zeus, how the mighty has fallen. My son.”
