The Claverings is a romance novel by Anthony Trollope. A young man must find himself a vocation and a wife; but soon finds that he must choose between one of two women.
She needed a husband. She got a wife . . . and a whole lot of feelings. Eleanor Brewster is a proper English lady with a crumbling manor to prove it, and one inconvenient problem: she needs to marry to keep her family estate. Danni Franks is a no-nonsense farmer with a newly acquired (and deeply in debt) farm, a complicated family, and precisely zero interest in aristocratic drama. But when Danni's tractor collides, literally, with Eleanor's sports car, she somehow ends up engaged to a woman who considers tweed a fashion statement. A fake marriage should solve both their problems: Eleanor keeps her home, Danni gets some much-needed stability, and neither of them has to worry about pesky things like romance. Easy, right? Except Eleanor is alarmingly good at making Danni's heart race, and Danni is impossibly attractive in flannel. Throw in a scheming investor, a meddling best friend, and a horse with far too many opinions, and their arrangement might just turn into the love story neither of them saw coming.Mostra libro

Nico Michaels pretends to be carefree, avoiding anything serious, especially relationships; his chaotic past has taught him that love only complicates things. He’s content with one-night stands and his close-knit group of friends, including his roommate, Malachi Mizrahi. Neurodivergent Malachi wakes up each morning with a whole new personality, but one thing remains constant: his love for Nico. They clicked perfectly from day one, sharing a love of everything from anime to nature documentaries. They even share a bed. Platonically, of course. One night, the lines blur when they share a kiss, but before things can go further, a desperate call from one of Mal’s dance students throws them into a missing person’s case that leaves them with more questions than answers. To complicate matters, Mal reveals he’s been quietly orchestrating Nico’s whole life without him even noticing. Nico is shaken to his core, his perception of their relationship shattered. As they navigate the perilous world of a vicious Chinese triad, their bond deepens, and Nico begins to see that Malachi is not only the perfect friend, but the perfect man to fulfill all his needs. Together, they must face their past and survive their present if they want any chance of a happy ending in their future. Barbarian is a friends-to-lovers, dark romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a masochistic vigilante with ADHD and a video game addiction and his sadistic and controlling best friend who worships the ground he walks on. As with any Onley book, you’ll find dark humor, steamy sexy times, and gratuitous violence, but only against people who totally deserve it. This is book 3 in the Jericho’s Boys series. Each book follows a different couple.Mostra libro
