He is fortunate that the Duke of Montfort, believes in him and enlists Rupert to make a record of all the flora on the castle grounds. But Miss Sharpe’s spontaneity and continual appearance during his work is an annoying distraction. At least, that’s what he tells himself.

While Alice struggles to adapt to her new role, constantly striving to go unnoticed while still being herself, she cannot help but admire Rupert’s intelligence and focus. The more often they fall in together, the more her admiration deepens. But could a gentleman such as he ever fall in love with the governess?

Knocked Up by the Beast: A Mafia Romanceby Aria R. Blue

I used to believe in fairy tales.
And then I met him.

They call him the beast.

Shadows danced under his cold eyes, but all I saw was his fire.

He pressed me up against the walls of his castle, and growled against my neck that I belonged to him. He made a dark flower bloom inside me, awakening a hunger that I didn’t even know existed.

I gave myself to him.


I let him dominate every inch of me. I let him hold my heart and see every corner of my soul.

When it was his turn to do the same, it all went dark.

I get a peek into his real world for the first time–a world of ruthless criminals and savage monsters.

His baby grows inside me as long-hidden secrets start to unravel–each of them bigger than the last.

Real intentions surface.

I discover that everything I once believed to be true is really a lie.

There are no such things as fairy tales.

And only time will tell if I dodged a bullet or made the biggest mistake of my life.
