Description
[Complete] [Book 1] "It's okay Nova, no one is going to hurt you." He says the words making my heart ache. Why is he being so nice to me? I can see he's looking down at my thin silk nightgown. I see the desire in his eyes and normally that that would scare me, but all I can think about is his strong arms around me, holding me. I want him to hold me. I want him to kiss me. I want to feel safe. Like an out of body experience, I feel my head moving forward not realising what I'm about to do before I fulfil it. As I press my wanting lips to his, and kiss him with all my might, like he's my lifeline. *Mature themes* Its 1903 and Nova spends her days looking after her drunken father and trying to avoid another beating. Until a stranger knocks on her door and takes her away from everything she knew. Dr Xavier Laywood can't quite figure out what Nova is doing here. The girl with an unusual name and bright green eyes is now living in the Laywood Estate. Nova has fears that will surely push any man away. But with twists and turns around every corner maybe Xavier is her only hope at learning the truth and maybe falling in love in the process. But seriously what is she doing here anyway?!
