  "Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story introduces Catherine Morland, a young woman whose unremarkable upbringing and lack of traditional beauty set her apart from the typical heroines found in romantic fiction. Despite this, Catherine yearns for adventure and is captivated by the romantic ideals portrayed in the novels she reads. This longing foreshadows her journey into society, particularly during her trip to Bath. 
  The opening of the novel establishes the contrasting elements of Catherine's mundane life and her fantastical aspirations. From an early age, it is evident that she prefers physical activities over the more traditional feminine pastimes, a trait that continues into her teenage years as she develops a fascination with the very novels that influence her romantic ideas. Her first major adventure starts when she is invited to Bath, where she hopes to discover excitement, friendship, and possibly romance, especially with Mr. Tilney, a character who piques her interest.  
  The narrative offers a witty exploration of societal norms, personal growth, and the disconnect between reality and expectations. This makes "Northanger Abbey" an engaging read for those who appreciate character-driven stories that satirize romantic tropes.

  Micah Hart had learned a few things the first few months of officially dating Damon Romano, a vicious mafioso/ridiculously rich billionaire, infamous throughout New York City for his cut-throat "business" tactics: 
   
   
   
  1. Damon was soft for nothing and no one . . . except Micah (and maybe his sisters). 2. His domineering tendencies definitely extended to the bedroom. 3. Damon didn't trust him—not completely. 
   
   
   
  That last one shouldn't have hurt as much as it did. After all, there were bound to be certain obstacles to overcome in a relationship when one person was a mafia don and the other was a police-detective-turned-PI. 
   
   
   
  Damon keeps Micah far away from anything related to his "work," and Micah allows it . . . at least until a stripper named Ginger waltzes into his struggling detective agency, claiming that her boyfriend—also a stripper—is trying to kill her. Ginger just so happens to work at Lust, the most infamous of a chain of clubs Damon has specifically warned Micah away from. 
   
   
   
  Taking the job would require him to go undercover at Lust, and he should say no. But Damon is out of town for the weekend. What's the worst that could happen? 
   
   
   
  (Psst. Spankings.) 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
