do a story about Chrollo Lucilfer introducing (y/n) to the Phantomhive troupe as his girlfriend and ordering everyone to treat (y/n) like royalty

Shadows of Affection

In the clandestine world of organized crime, Chrollo Lucilfer, the enigmatic leader of the infamous Phantomhive Troupe, was revered for his sharp intellect and charismatic leadership. However, behind the curtain of ruthlessness and calculated strategies, there existed a side of him that very few had the privilege to witness—a side that held the promise of an extraordinary love story.

It was a moonlit night when Chrollo arrived at the Troupe's hidden lair, accompanied by an unexpected presence—(Y/N). (Y/N) was a figure of undeniable allure, and her entrance into the dimly lit room sent ripples of astonishment through the group.

The Troupe members, known for their unwavering loyalty to Chrollo, watched in stunned silence as their leader introduced (Y/N) as his girlfriend. It was a revelation that left them bewildered, for they had never witnessed Chrollo express affection or invite anyone into their tightly knit circle.

"Allow me to introduce (Y/N)," Chrollo declared, his voice resonating with authority, "my beloved girlfriend. From this moment forward, I expect each of you to treat her with the utmost respect and deference."

His words hung in the air, the room filled with palpable tension, as the Troupe members exchanged incredulous glances. Yet, it was not within their nature to question Chrollo's commands, so they reluctantly accepted his directive with silent nods.

As days turned into weeks, (Y/N) found herself immersed in the enigmatic world of the Phantomhive Troupe, a world where crime and chaos thrived. To her surprise, the Troupe members wholeheartedly complied with Chrollo's decree. They regarded her with reverence and adoration, attending to her every desire and ensuring her comfort within the secretive confines of their hidden sanctuary.

Chrollo, a leader renowned for his calculated and enigmatic demeanor, underwent a transformation in (Y/N)'s presence. He became more accessible, more human, allowing his emotions to flow freely. Their relationship evolved into a complex and passionate love story, one that transcended the darkness of their criminal lives.

(Y/N) was captivated by Chrollo's intelligence, charm, and the duality that defined his character—a leader of ruthless criminals who was also capable of tender affection and deep emotional connections. Together, they shared stolen moments amidst the shadows, finding solace in the midst of their chaotic existence.

However, the world of the Phantomhive Troupe was far from benign. Danger lurked at every turn, and (Y/N) quickly discovered that her role as Chrollo's girlfriend made her a target for their enemies. Rival groups sought to exploit her presence, viewing her as a potential weakness to be exploited.

Yet, (Y/N) was far from a passive observer in this treacherous world. She displayed a strength of character and a resilience that earned her the respect of the Troupe members. They saw her as an equal, someone who could hold her own in their ruthless domain.

As the days unfolded and the trials of their criminal lives continued, Chrollo and (Y/N)'s love story deepened. Their bond grew stronger amidst the chaos, and (Y/N) became an indispensable and beloved member of the Troupe, holding her own alongside the deadliest criminals.

Their love defied the odds, flourishing in the darkest corners of their existence. Chrollo Lucilfer, the enigmatic leader of the Phantomhive Troupe, had unearthed love in the most unlikely of places, and with (Y/N) by his side, their world of shadows became a little less cold and a lot more enchanting.

Also, if anyone has any ideas for manner of death, please let me know. I'm writing a crime fiction series with a female police officer as the lead. All characters mentioned are coworkers and care deeply for her. She had a traumatic past. Her boyfriend helped to show not all men are cruel, her friend who is like a brother to her is super protective. Readers love his character. Her best friend appears in book 3 and becomes her partner. Her close friend that always has her back arrested the man who tried to kill her in book one.

Book of Night is the adult debut by Holly Black. I would call this urban fantasy/horror. There is a girl, Charlie, with a past. There are people, called gloamists, who can manipulate their shadows. There are people without shadows and shadows without people. (They’re Blights and are dangerous) Charlie has to find a missing book or bad things will happen. The story and background building took a while to get into. The final act was better and there was a surprising reveal. I kept thinking of Peter Pan (Wendy sewing his shadow) but there was never any mention of that. I was also reminded of The Book of M (where everyone loses their shadow) The whole story felt weird and I had some interesting dreams. 💭 Read the acknowledgments to see some interesting comments from Black about the writing process for this book. Are you a fan of urban fantasy? #bookofnight #hollyblack #bookofthemonth #urbanfantasy #horrorbooks #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookphotography #bookcommunity #bookblogger #sodacityreads #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs #onlytheshadowknows https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4T7qyr2xh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

East Wind, 2nd Edition: (Lara and Uri, #1) by Jack Winnick

This book has earned a PERFECT 5-star rating from an Official OnlineBookClub.org Reviewer, and has 204 five-star ratings on Amazon!

----------

A powerful bomb rips apart a huge marina in Los Angeles, killing hundreds. A nuclear device is suspected. In a rush to make some sense of things, the U.S. and Israel send two of their best agents, Lara and Uri, into action.

"East Wind, Second Edition" is the first of a series of novels featuring two romantically-linked special agents. However, each book is a complete story on its own. Additionally, the book is on sale for a price of $2.99!

"Doing justice to its genre, East Wind by Jack Winnick would certainly be a good read for those who enjoy thrillers based on terrorist threats, the joint action of government forces, high-level treason, and a budding romance amidst all the impending tragedy." ~ OBC Reviewer

Deadly Autumn Harvest

By Tony Mott

Translated by Marina Sofia

Corylus Books

This is the long awaited English debut by Romanian crime fiction author Tony Mott. Set in her home city of Brașov is a city in the Transylvania region, ringed by the Carpathian mountains. I believe this may actually be the second book in a series featuring forensic pathologist Gigi Alexis, yet was presumably chosen as her English language debut as it was seen as a good introduction by the publisher, Corylus Books.

Accessible it certainly is. After a heart stopping and short opening sequence, the novel quickly introduces Alexis. Having just returned from holiday it takes no time to begin to discover elements of her personal life, her work environment and her dark sence of humour. Having established the basics, our new protagonist is quickly called to a crime scene where ominously the investigating officer warns Alexis that the murder victim shares a strong resemblance to her. This crime is perplexing as there is no obvious motive and due to the unique placing of the corpse. It isn't long before it becomes clear to the reader that this is a police division under the pressure of a new chief and secondly that the views and opinions of a female civilian are judged secondary to those of male police officers

As further events including subsequent mystifying murders unfold it appears that Brașov could be facing the almost unique predicament of having a serial killer at large where Alexa will require to channel all her wits and experience, as well as her powers of persuasion in order to attempt to make these crimes stop and find the perpetrator.

Readers will find that Deadly Autumn Harvest is an absorbing introduction to Romanian crime fiction, although it also complements well previous novels already available to English language readers from the same publisher. It offers a fascinating insight into murder investigations in the former communist country and also is a very revealing introduction to Brașov and it's surrounding area which will appeal to many existing readers of crime fiction. I strongly recommend it and look forward to reading more novels by Tony Mott in the future.

Deadly Autumn Harvest

A series of bizarre murders rocks the beautiful Carpathian town of Braşov. At first there’s nothing obvious that links what look like random killings.

With the police still smarting from the scandal of having failed to act in a previous case of a serial kidnapper and killer, they bring in forensic pathologist Gigi Alexa to figure out if several murderers are at work – or if they have another serial killer on their hands.

Ambitious, tough, and not one to suffer fools gladly, Gigi fights to be taken seriously in a society that maintains old-fashioned attitudes to the roles of women.

She and the police team struggle to establish a pattern, especially when resources are diverted to investigating a possible terrorist plot. With the clock ticking, Gigi stumbles across what looks to be a far-fetched theory – just as she realises that she could be on the murderer’s to-kill list.

Author bio:

Tony Mott was born and bred in Braşov, which often forms the backdrop for her novels. She has worked internationally as a coach and HR professional, but her real passion remains writing. In 2022 she received the Romanian Mystery&Thriller Award. Deadly Autumn Harvest is the first novel in the Gigi Alexa series to be translated into English.

Translator bio:

Marina Sofia is a translator, reviewer, writer and blogger, as well as a third culture kid who grew up trilingual in Romanian, German and English. Her previous translations for Corylus Books are Sword by Bogdan Teodorescu and Resilience by Bogdan Hrib. She has spent most of her winters in Braşov skiing, so is delighted to translate a book set in her favourite Romanian town.

ISBN 978-1-7392989-1-3

£9.99

EXCERPT FROM THE HOOD PRINCESS AND THE PREP...

Three months later, as I sat in on a meeting that Granny B was attending, I found it hard to focus. My mind kept wandering back to the most annoying man I had ever known. Not that I knew a lot, but no man had ever made me feel like he does. I smiled as I thought about the last time I had seen him. Just a few hours ago, but it seemed like forever ago. He had woken me up with breakfast and flowers. We ate, and he told me about his day and I talked about mine. It had felt so normal to laugh with him and just be me. He was still arrogant, but now I thought it was kind of cute and when he flirted or popped up where I was, it seemed sweet.

It was also the little things I was noticing like when he talked, he made eye contact the whole time. I always have his undivided attention. He made my heart leap just by entering a room, followed by a shower of warmth from head to toe. Was it love? I wondered, thinking about the picnic we had last week after the public apology. It had sucked, and the guys had been jerks, but he made sure my day ended on a positive note.

Two weeks ago, after helping to repair the club and pay for the damages, we had gone to the beach. We had laid in the sand and talked well after the sun went down. We had drank wine and the whole thing was just like a movie. Every spare moment of my time was taken up by Cornell, and I didn't even care. It was the highlight of my day now. On busy days, he would just pop up for five minutes or less, but he never left without kissing me or touching me. The kiss was always hot as hell and left me wanting more, but It was the slight touches that set me on fire. How he would hold my hand or wrap an arm around my waist like it was what we did. sometimes we'd be talking to someone like in the interview we did a few days ago, and he would steal my attention. He didn't care who I was talking t or what I was doing.

In the middle of the interview, we had a moment on camera. He started playing with my hair and I looked at him. Our eyes met and held and we both just grinned at each other. A picture of that secretive grin had made the papers. The people had loved that, but it had been real. It was moments like that for me.

It could be love, I thought, letting out a huff.

"Are we boring you Victoria?" Granny B asked?

"No mame," I quickly replied, "Of course not."

"You have been daydreaming again," she said with a knowing smile.

"Sorry mame," I replied, sitting up straighter.

"We are closing anyway," Granny B replied, turning again to the French ambassador. Or was it the Turkish? I did not know, but he was an ambassador. "We will be attending the Ambassador's wedding in two weeks. Please have Olivia schedule that, and you will need a new dress. It is an evening event, so wear a tiara, please."

I nodded and stood as they did. I exited the room behind them, clutching my notepad and pen to my chest as I thought back to my favorite subject. I never expected to connect to him, not on the level we had reached. I didn't know if I was falling in love. What I knew what that having him around for another sixty years wasn't looking so bad.

Two hours later, I looked into the eyes of an angry old man. He didn't like me, I could tell. Everything he had been saying was intended to piss me off. I didn't like him either. From his bald head to the wrinkles on his chin. He had to be like eighty and he thought he was everybody's daddy.

So he was the head chancellor of the scarlet order and Granny B's right-hand man. Since I got here, he had been complaining. First, I didn't want to be here. This was not on my damn schedule, and I didn't like to deter from my schedule. Granny had asked me to sit in this meeting today in her place. Apparently, these were my go-to people. They were to advise me as they had done my grandma and her father before her.

To me, they just seemed old and tired. No one was younger than sixty. Thank God for technology and the history library here, or I'd have totally bought the bullshit leaking from his teeth. He was upset about my drunken night, my night out, and now that the prince and I were out so regularly, in the open, where it was dangerous.

Like I didn't have a small militia of guards surrounding me every day. Like anyone ever got close or even touched me. I could never even take pictured with people or give them hugs. These were my people, according to them, and I had never reached into a crowd or taken a photo with them because it could be dangerous. There were seven men here and if I have my way, they will all be gone by the time I take the throne.

Lord Phillip continued, "a recent poll shows you to be unfavorable to the people. They question your sanity and stability. I just want to put it on the table that there is another heir, someone who will take their role as king seriously."

There was a hushed murmur around the room as I perked up and eyed Philip with all the disdain I could muster. Oh, he wanted to play chess? With checker pieces?

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" He had the decency to look uncomfortable. He should. He was lucky he was still sitting comfortably.

"All I am saying is that if you don't want to do this, you don't have to. You can go home, to America and it will be like nothing had ever happened."

I sat back in my chair and digested that. Had Granny B not threatened my mother, I probably would have turned this entire offer down. Protecting her had been my reason for accepting my grandmother's offer. However, she had expressed her dislike of whoever the alternative was. Which meant that my mother was still in danger until she died or stepped down. Even with that obstacle lurking, I realized I had gotten used to the idea of being queen. I was looking forward to it and I now liked my grandma. She was a little hard around the edges, but I understood why now. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

This dude had some huge balls, to even say that to me, yet he had. It made me think of a desperate chess move. He was jumping ahead of his game and not waiting until a better time. I had been rocking this princess thing. I knew it because the papers were gushing about me every day. I had seen no poll, and my publicist would have pointed that out. It made my hackles raise, and I wondered if the old dude with the crusty goatee was a traitor. Was he working for the opposition? Did the other guy even want the throne, or did he just not like me?

I leaned forward and smiled at him. Game on Sir lord. "Phillip, choose your next words carefully. Are you trying to get rid of me?" Checkmate, I thought. I guess he forgot I held all the important pieces on both sides. He was simply a pawn.

They called him a beast. They called him cruel. They called him ugly. People were repulsed by his face. They treated him like a deadly disease, avoiding him like the plague. They didn't dare talk to or in front of him, but behind closed doors, they would tell scary tales about him; some would send chills down your spine, and others were just outrageous and couldn't be true. Parents would use stories about him to scare their children into doing what they wanted. "Don't make me call the beast," they would threaten. But the children didn't call him a beast. They called him 'monster face'.
