A Scandal By Any Other Name

A Scandal By Any Other Name

BOOK TWO OF THE HAMILTON SERIES WARNING: A Regency Era novel. Adult content with detailed smut…Read at you own risk Genre: Historical Romance / Smut / Enemies-to-Lovers / Mystery / Comedy / Found family [Book Two of the Hamilton Series. Can be read as a standalone, but better enjoyed after Lady Ines’ Scandalous Hobby.] To the world, Duke Rowan Hamilton is the perfect gentleman. But in the bedroom, he is a man possessed. Rowan Hamilton has it all: a Ducal title, the face of a fallen angel, and a smile that makes debutantes faint. He is the "Golden Duke"—charming, responsible, and utterly adored by society. But it’s all a lie. Beneath the coats and polite manners, Rowan is a man haunted by a ghost. For three years, he has remained faithful to the memory of a masked woman who stole a kiss, bested him at a game of chance, and vanished into the night. He doesn't want any one as his wife; he wants her. When his domineering aunt tires of his bachelorhood, she hires London’s most notorious underground matchmaker to force the issue. Enter Miss Delaney Kingsley. She is sharp-tongued, infuriatingly competent, and entirely unimpressed by his title. Her mission? To drag Rowan to the altar with the season’s "Diamond," Lady Celine, within three months to collect the juicy payment Rowan’s aunt had to offer. Rowan intends to fire the meddlesome woman. But when Delaney looks at him with those hazel, intelligent eyes and orders him around like a young lad, he feels the first spark of life he’s felt in years. He decides to play her game. He will let her find him a wife. But he has no intention of choosing anyone even Lady Celine. "You were hired to find me a Duchess, Miss Kingsley. But the only person I want in my duchy and in my bed... is you." As mysteries turn into forbidden nights and the bickering turns into scorching passion, Rowan begins to suspect that his matchmaker is hiding a secret of her own. She moves like a shadow, handles a rifle like a soldier, and tastes exactly like the ghost he’s been hunting for three years. What to Expect: * High Stake Mystery: They try to untangle themselves from the Farrington’s trap. * The Golden Retriever Duke: Who turns into a possessive Alpha behind closed doors. * The Matchmaker Trope: She’s trying to marry him off; he’s trying to take her clothes off. * High Heat: Slow burn that explodes into intense smut. * Competence Kink: He falls harder every time she bosses him around. * Cameos: Featuring the chaotic domestic life of Duchess Ines and Duke Carcel (and their baby Harry!). Excerpt: "Your Grace, please focus," Delaney snapped, adjusting his cravat with efficient, gloved hands. "Lady Celine is waiting in the ballroom. You must look at her as if she is the only woman in the world." Rowan caught her wrist, stopping her movements. He stepped into her space, backing her against the heavy oak door of the study, his "Golden Boy" mask slipping to reveal the hunger beneath. "And how, exactly, does one do that, Miss Kingsley?" he whispered, his voice rough. "Show me." "I—I cannot show you, It I s not in my place to—" "Then teach me," he growled, lowering his head until his lips brushed the sensitive skin of her neck. "Teach me how to pretend I am not burning alive every time you walk into a room."

Truth and Justice

Truth and Justice

Vino hanya berdiri menyender pada salah satu pohon besar yang berada di situ, sambil tangan nya berada di saku celana seragam nya. aku terus menatap vino, berharap dia mau berbicara apapun itu. setidak nya aku sudah mengatakan apa yang selama ini ingin kau kata kan pada nya, walau pun belum semua nya, tapi itu sudah cukup membuat ku merasa tenang.           Aku menantikan saat saat vino, mengeluar kan suara nya. aku ingin mendegar kan apa pun yang keluar dari mulut nya. hingga akhir nya dia mengeluarkan suara nya kembali.           "apa gue ngak salah denger? Kalian selalu ada buat gue? Selalu ada? Ahahhahha" vino tertawa cukup keras yang lantas membuat ku bingung.           "kalau memang kalian selalu ada buat gue, gue mau tanya sama lo. sewaktu gue ngalamin kejadian tiga tahun lalu, kalian semua kemana aja hah? saat gue butuh lo dan bokap nyokap, apa lo ada buat gue? Saat gue minta tolong sama kalian, apa lo dan bokap nyokap ada buat gue? Kalian malah nyuruh orang buat bungkam semua nya kan? Kalian malah nyuruh orang buat nyelesaiin semua masalah ini, tanpa ngebolehin gue buat ketemu sama mereka. Gue emang minta bantuin kalian buat nyelesaiin masalah gue waktu itu, tapi gue mau nya lo sama bokap nyokap yang bantú gue, bukan malah orang lain. Dan gue ngak  pernah berharap kalau kalian bakal bantuin gue dengan cara yang menjijikkan seperti itu. paham lo" ucap vino penuh amarah.         Seperti nya ada begitu banyak rasa sakit yang dia pendam selama ini. Aku merasa bersalah saat mengingat kejadian itu, dan karena itu lah semua hubungan keluarga kami yang selama ini baik baik saja menjadi hancur seketika. Namun andai saja vino mau mendengar kan alasan kami melakukan itu semua, namun dia tidak pernah mau mendengar penjelasan apapun dari ku dan juga yang lain nya. vino sangat sulit untuk menerima kejadian itu. kejadian yang tentu nya sangat menyakit kan bagi nya dan bahkan untuk kami semua.         "tapi lo harus denger dulu alasan gue sama bokap nyokap ngelakuin itu vin. Kita ngak ada maksud buat lakuin itu. kita hanya ingin nyelamatin banyak orang. Lo harus tau itu vin" ucap ku tetap berusaha memberi penjelasan pada vino.         "nyelamatin banyak orang? Bukan nya itu hanya untuk nyelamatin karir bokap dan nama baik keluarga? Makanya kalian rela ngorbanin orang lain dan memutar balikan fakta?" ucap vino yang tetap pada pendirian nya dan tetap teguh pada apa yang dia pikir selama ini.

An idiom that means to enforce justice on behalf of heaven
Carrying out justice on behalf of heaven was a Chinese idiom, which meant to maintain fairness in the world on behalf of heaven. It was now mostly used to fight evil. In feudal society, peasant uprisings often used justice as a slogan to mobilize and organize the masses. This idiom originated from the play Li Kui Carrying Thorns in the Yuan Dynasty. There was a line in it that said," The leaders on your mountain are all heroes who enforce justice on behalf of heaven."

It means
Following fate was a life attitude and philosophy. It was not a passive escape, but a calm acceptance of the results after hard work. For example, when faced with major events such as children going to school or changing houses, it was not that they did not take action at all. Instead, they did their best to actively participate in the process and did not force the final result. From an emotional point of view, such as in love or interpersonal relationships, if the beauty and dreams of the past gradually faded or could not be achieved, it was to not struggle excessively and accept the arrangement of fate. This reflected a kind of open-mindedness. It was a kind of wisdom that understood that many things could not be forced. It sought a balance between positive efforts and negative abandonment, allowing the heart to maintain a relatively relaxed state when facing various situations in life. The novel " Dream of Silk Fate " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
