Sinopse

Olivia wakes up seeing an unfamiliar ceiling and lying in an unfamiliar bed. The last thing she remembers is celebrating her eighteenth-birthday and now she's wrapped up in a swaddle and sucking on a dummy. There must have been something that's happened in between, but she doesn't remember any of it. Then, an Alpha walks into the room and picks her up and she does the one thing she knows and starts crying.
 
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
 
"Are you hungry, baby? Poor baby. Daddy's sorry. Come on. Daddy's going to get you something to fill your hungry tummy."
 
He must be insane if he thinks she's going to eat anything he makes for her. For all she knows, he's going to take the opportunity to drug her and do all sorts of weird, kinky stuff to her. The thought makes her throat close up.
 
"Do you wanna fill your hungry tum-tum?"
 
She scowls at him. Is he sick in the head? Is that why he's talking like that? Her stomach betrays her by grumbling loudly and he chuckles and it's really unfair how good his voice is and how good that makes her feel.
 
"Alright, alright." He bounces her on his arm the entire way out of what appears to be a bedroom and towards the kitchen. She can't really see much, cradled so close to his chest like this and it feels really frightening because she's afraid he would drop her. She's glad to have use of her arms and legs back, but now it's a little bit awkward because she doesn't know where to put her hands. She rests it on his chest, thinking she would put a little space between them but she's also worried that she would accidentally push too hard and he would drop her.
 
She should have spent the time getting to know her surrounding and memorizing escape routes. Instead, she spends the entire time being stunned by what she's wearing when she puts her hand on his chest. Her palm is wrapped up in a pair of mittens that reminds of when she has to bake something in the orphanage, but it's a very badly designed one because she can't use her thumbs in this. Baby mittens, she thinks with a little frown.
 
She's wearing socks too, which explains why she's feeling so warm. She wriggles her toes a little bit. It feels so soft and comfortable. He's holding her in the nook of his arms like she's an infant, which is as humiliating as it is insulting. She's petite, not a child! With that in mind, she tries to struggle out of his grasp, but when she lurches forward, her head begins to spin a little. For a second, she panics, thinking she's going to fall straight out of his lap and headfirst towards the floor. This how she's going to die.
 
He pulls her up easily. "Oppsie-daisy," he says. "Alright there, baby?"
 
Her heart is beating out of control and she doesn't know why, but she begins to cry straight away, eyes welling up with tears and throat closing. She lets out a soft hiccup that turns quickly into a fresh wave of tears at how hopeless and helpless she feels already. And she's only been in this situation for less than an hour! She can't even struggle properly, giving in to him when he hoists her up all the way until her chin is resting on his shoulder. He rubs gentle, soothing circles on her back.
 
"It's alright, baby. Daddy's got you. Shh... Shh..." He bounces her a little as he keeps walking forward. "Don't cry, baby. Daddy's got you. It's alright. Daddy's not going to let you fall. Poor baby," he peppers her face with kisses. "Poor baby."
 
She's not crying. She's just a little surprised. She sniffles and hides her face in the nook of his neck.
 
"It's alright, baby," he says and she kind of hates how safe she feels with his arms around her like that, holding her so securely. "It's alright," he hums.

    Charlie, Earl of Stanwood, is at his gentleman's club when he overhears from a nearby card game that the Viscount Ognon plans to gamble away a property in which some of his family live. Charlie takes a dim view of those who mistreat their dependents, and though he rarely gambles, he always wins. This time is no different. Triumphant, Charlie is determined to sign the property over to the appropriate family member. 
     
     
     
    Miss Oriana Ognon comes from a family in which the men are incorrigible gamblers, while the women mitigate the losses. Fortunately, she inherited her estate from a maternal aunt and is independent of her cousin, who repeatedly attempts to gamble it away. Needless to say, when the Earl of Stanwood comes to call, he is promptly presented with proof of Oriana's homeownership—and no offer of refreshment . . . Even if he was the handsomest man she'd ever seen. 
     
     
     
    Intrigued by Oriana, Charles sets out to discover more about her—and concludes she may be the wife he's looking for. But as saboteurs and rivals compromise their possible future together, they just might find themselves in an irresistibly compromising position of their own.

    Henry James was born 15th April 1843 in New York City. 
     
    His youth was spent travelling with his family receiving what was an "extraordinarily haphazard and promiscuous" education as they journeyed through London, Paris, Geneva, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Newport, Rhode Island, according to the father's current interests and publishing ventures. James studied primarily with tutors and only briefly attended schools.    
     
    Undoubtedly the quality of his writing has ensured his name is enshrined in the American literary tradition.  
     
    James was a committed Anglophile and spent most of his adult life as an expatriate in Europe.  Many of his novels juxtapose the Old World with the New World. Classics such as ‘The Portrait of a Lady’, ‘Daisy Miller’ and ‘The Ambassadors’, display the entanglement between American and European cultures and mentalities. They highlight the differences between the two worlds through following the experiences of American expatriates in Europe.  
     
    A prolific author he was able to easily move across genres to create vivid and totally real worlds and situations and to offer sophisticated observations of human relations as well as realistic, social criticism. 
    As a critic James was unafraid to venture into reviews and essays of those other literary giants around him.  These together with his short stories and, of course, classic novels, make Henry James an author to be not only admired but read, and read often.  
     
    In 1915 Henry James became a British citizen. 
     
    On 28th February 1916, at the age of 72, Henry James died in Chelsea, London. 
     
    He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916. He never won.
