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."

Chapters and Release: Release days: Everyday Release time: 3pm UTC Status: Unedited. (Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen years-old schoolgirl comes across a woman who was handing out leaflets for a confidential competition. Unknown to her, the competition took her out of Earth and into another dimension where she has to struggle to find clues behind why multiple worlds are having to be destroyed. The competition forces her to meet unknown entities who are both, good and bad. Sometimes, they would work for her and other times, they would work against her. The universe she goes to, causes her endless suffering until she finally solves the issue and head back to Earth. But that too, is of uncertainty. *** (Prologue) The dream of a child, is to grow up. While the dream of an adult, is to become a kid again. The dream of a poor person, is to be so wealthy and powerful, that the whole city would know their names. While the dream of a businessman, is to get the time in a day to sit and talk to his family for a second. Meanwhile, the dream of a missing or abducted person, is to go back home, to their family. And the dream of a teenager, is to simply be able to survive everything they are going through. Sometimes, people don't even know which category they belong to and move the way life moves them. Sometimes, they find a new path which leads them to even more difficulty. And in other times, they accept the hard truth, and choose to die. Thinking about the number of things that could happen instead, made her feel even more guilty for not listening to the advice of never wandering off alone. Now, she is homesick with extreme pressure of trying to grow strong, surpressing her from different direction. A normal fifteen years-old schoolgirl, comes across an opportunity to escape the hateful life she was leading. But the question is, was it really worst compared to the new life she was living? The competition grants her the things she wanted, but did it not have her pay the price for her choice? But of course, her reply would be, "I just accidentally joined it. It's no big deal compared to Earth." They are told that the worlds are all just novels they had read back at Earth, but if it were really true, why are certain things not matching with what seemed to be true in the novel compared to its world? As reckless she was, she got summoned into a different dimension where it was clearly uncertain whether she would ever be able to return back to Earth, to her previous life. But the more she got closer to Earth, the more the route got covered in blades. Turns out, the only way back, is to sacrifice the things that made her happy, and go on harsh adventures across the entire universe, while suffering threats from powerful enemies coming from the competition. (Author's note: I plan on making things more emotionally intense in the future.)

Author of Red Sleeves: To participate in the 4th Chinese Romance Story Competition and the 1st Global Chinese New Talent Story Competition. Which one should I join? Tell me about their competition
Participating in the 4th Chinese Romance Story Competition and the 1st Global Chinese New Talent Story Competition were both very good choices. This depended on one's personal interests and writing direction. The 4th Chinese Romance Story Competition was more focused on romance, so it might attract more authors interested in romance. The judges of the competition were also very strong, which might provide more writing opportunities and feedback. The first Global Chinese New Talent Fictional Competition focused more on the potential and creativity of new authors, which might give more opportunities to authors with potential. The judges of the competition were also very luxurious and could provide more creative guidance and encouragement to the contestants. Participating in competitions was a good opportunity to get more feedback and opportunities, but the final choice of competition still needed to be decided according to one's interests and writing direction.

What kind of competition was the Speed Reading Competition?
The speed reading competition was a competition that tested the reader's ability to read and understand quickly. Usually, speed-reading competitions require participants to read a large amount of text in a very short time and try their best to understand its meaning and gist. This kind of competition usually involved a variety of novels, essays, poems, and other literary works. Therefore, the contestants needed to have certain reading and comprehension skills and abilities. Some speed-reading competitions also required participants to switch between speed reading and intensive reading to better understand the content of the text. The speed reading competition was designed to improve readers 'reading efficiency and comprehension ability, and at the same time, provide new ideas and inspiration for literary creation.

Competition, competition, pure love novel recommendation
I recommend " The All-Rounder," which was a novel about sports events written by someone who had overcome all obstacles. The protagonist was an all-rounder, proficient in all kinds of sports, and broke records in the Olympics. This was the first creation of the all-around competitive style, and its creativity was superb. The description of the sports background and sports techniques in the book was not bad. It was good to grasp it well, but the character creation was a little weak. There were too many sports events in the later stages, and the emotional description was stiff. However, it was a good niche sports novel with more than 10,000 orders. The first part was exciting and the book was in short supply. I recommend Dleer's " The Ball is Beneath Your Feet " and " Victory is in Your Hand." These two books were sports and football novels. The author really knew football. He could clearly explain the characteristics of the players and the configuration of the team. It was a work with practical content. Although the author's writing style was dry and did not know how to create an atmosphere, these shortcomings could be ignored if one read competitive literature. One could also learn a lot of football knowledge from it. " I Really Don't Want to Be the Director of a Mental Hospital " was a sci-fi evolutionary novel written by Dubhe. The story was interesting, and there were many characters. The character information was clear. Those who liked this type of sci-fi story could read it. League of Legends: I am Captain was written by Wasai, a gaming and esports novel. The protagonist was a golden rookie who took the training system back to the LOL period of S2 and joined We to build an independent team to fight in the league. The novel had its own characteristics. The talents of each team were summarized in place. The golden finger was neither too big nor too small. It looked pretty good. LoL fans could give it a try. " Reborn: Hot Blood Ping-Pong " was a novel about sports events written by Xi Baisha. The protagonist was reborn as a professional ping-pong player, and it was very enjoyable to write. Table tennis was a rare theme, and it was a unique existence on the sports channel. If there was a shortage of books or if you wanted to change your taste, you could watch it. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
