Tempest and Temptation

"Are you…are you threatening me?” Her voice inclined, unfazed by their decreasing space.

He went silent, water dripping from his head and onto her lap.
She scoffed in his silence. “You really don't seem to recognize how insignificant you are. A single hair on my head costs more than you probably ever will make in your lifetime. You are nothing compared to me. Nothing.”

Another chuckle came, and the corner of her eye twitched. “Why are you laughing?!” she shouted, more shocked than angry.

"Haha." He laughed again, casually knuckling the corner of his raised lips. "Oh, goodness." He sighed. "Really, what am I gonna do?"

"Excuse me?" Blinking, she burned her gaze into him. "I didn't ask that."

“Why don’t you?”

A 21st century Jane Austen-inspired and Taming of the Shrew hybird historical fiction love affair with snowballing romance, thrilling mystery and intrigue, dashed with a spice of the supernatural.

WARNING: VERY HISTORICAL FICTIONY AND WILL LIKELY BE NICHE.

This is novel is one I hold dear to me. It's one of my first books I really started writing seriously. I am currently working towards it completion for publication but that is an ongoing process.

Warning, this book is very historical fiction like and the romance is a slow burn. Not everyone will like it, but I hope at least some can enjoy it. <3
