Grand Duke Leuvis

The Duke And His Desire

*****Excerpt***** “Don’t,” she whispered, her words shaky and desperate. “Please, Raph, don’t.” “Don’t what?” he murmured, his lips brushing her collarbone now. “This isn’t right. We shouldn’t…” “But we have,” he countered, his voice unwavering. Her knees threatened to give way, her strength faltering against the onslaught of sensation. She felt his hands on her shoulders, firm but not unkind, as he turned her to face him. Her heart hammered wildly as he lifted her with ease, placing her on the edge of his desk. He parted her legs with his hands and stepped between them, his large hands bracketing her waist. Their faces were inches apart, his breath warm against her lips. Her senses were drowning in him, in the heat of his body and the sheer magnetism of his gaze. “Tell me to stop,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “And I will. I’ll let you go and never ask this of you again. But it’s your choice, Natalie. Only yours.” Her mind screamed at her to end it, to take the out he offered. But her body betrayed her, leaning into him, craving his touch. He held her steady, his patience unnerving, as though he knew she would falter. “I’m waiting, Nat,” he urged, his voice softening, though his grip on her remained firm. “Raphael…” Her voice was a breathless plea, her will crumbling. “Yes, sweetheart?” Her hands found their way to his shoulders, clutching at the fabric of his shirt. She couldn’t stop the words that slipped from her lips, nor could she deny the truth in them. “Make love to me.” A dark smile curved his lips as he claimed her mouth in a kiss that stole her breath. “Good choice,” he whispered against her skin. “Because I wasn’t planning on letting you go.” *****Synopsis***** Raphael Emberlin, the Duke of Barrington, and his maid, Natalie Scott, are kidnapped while on a journey. After escaping their captors, they find themselves in a strange, unfamiliar land far from home. Everything around them is different, from the language to the people, and they must find their way back, all while learning to navigate the challenges of being stuck with each other. Raphael, used to being in control, struggles to trust anyone, especially Natalie. However, as they travel together, he begins to see her in a new light—her strength, courage, and ability to handle tough situations. On the other hand, Natalie has to deal with Raphael’s arrogance and pride, but she also notices his vulnerability and starts to understand him better. As they journey through this unknown world, their relationship starts to change. What began as a forced partnership slowly grows into something deeper. They each discover new strengths within themselves and each other. By the time they finally return home, they are left wondering whether they can go back to their old lives or if the journey has changed them forever.

From Villain to Virtual Sweetheart: The Fake Heir’s Grand Scheme(BL)

Oops! The foolish real young master had run away!!! The title of the book… Micah had everything anyone could possibly envy, a gentle mother, a supportive father, and two doting older sisters. His family business dominated the capital with its high-technology products, and he was raised with a silver spoon from birth. Life was perfect. Until one day everything crumbled when a young man appeared, claiming to be the real young master. The classic case of swapped at birth… Panicked and heartbroken, Micah, the fake heir, fought desperately to hold onto his family and fortune. From Bad-mouthing and spreading rumours to initiating misplaced hatred toward the real young master, he plotted financial pitfalls and implicated his family business in progress. Not to mention his backstabbing and selling the classified information to a rival company. “What the actual f..?” Micah stared at the book, seething with anger. He was practically a villain out of a melodrama. He would never be like that! Which vengeful ghost had written this book?! “Where is my knife?!” He needed to show this so-called author the true meaning of vengeance! Even if he couldn’t get his hands on him, at the very least, he could undermine all the nonsense that was written in his book! Whether would he really be this mentally handicapped as described in the book remained a mystery, but please could someone explain the rest of the book to him? Those madmen! Those Degenerated Gongs! How could they torment the cheerful sunny Shou and twist him into an obedient meek little puppet just to satisfy their sick desires?! “I, Micah Ramsy, swear to protect my new brother from those psychos and hungry wolves!” Thus begins the journey of the fake heir, hell-bent on keeping those scums away from his sweet brother.

Reborn As The Duke’s Daughter: Noodle Apocalypse In Another World

When a K-drama-obsessed college student chokes to death on spicy ramyeon during Revenge of the Weak’s explosive finale, she expects her story to end as a meme. Instead, she’s reborn as Lady Evangeline Antoinette Kraevia Evernight, the prophesied youngest daughter of a powerful duke in a world where magic, nobility, and absurdity collide. Armed with a glowing birthmark that summons holographic K-pop idols, a knack for hexing her enemies bald, and a talking cat with delusions of grandeur (“Call me Lord Whiskerton, peasant”), Evangeline quickly learns that noble life is just another drama—but with more swords and fewer subtitles. Her To-Do List: 1. Survive assassination attempts (toddler princes with marriage contracts are weirdly persistent.) 2. Master her chaotic magic (accidentally turning the archbishop’s robes into ramyeon counts as progress, right?). 3. Avoid her four overprotective brothers (one’s a sword-wielding mama’s boy, one’s a scheming scholar, one’s a pyromaniac mage, and the youngest just wants a pet swan). 4. Decode her prophecy (“Child of Moon and Shadow” sounds cool, but why does it involve sentient noodles?). But when a mysterious enemy awakens a ramyeon elemental hellbent on seasoning the kingdom into submission, Evangeline must rally her dysfunctional family, her sassy cat, and EX’ ACT’s greatest hits to prove that even a noodle-fueled isekai disaster can rewrite destiny—one spicy misadventure at a time.

The Mad Duke's Sparrow

The story begins with the rebirth of the female lead, Elara. In her past life, she was a wealthy young lady from modern society, betrayed by her fiancé and cousin, and pushed into an icy river to die. Filled with immense hatred and unwillingness, she awakens in a world resembling medieval Europe, reborn as a lowly serf girl suffering from hardship and abuse. Facing a desperate situation and a cruel reality, Elara relies on her past memories and indomitable will, determined to struggle for survival in this new world. However, fate leads her to unexpectedly catch the attention of Duke Reinhardt, the most powerful nobleman in the region, known for his dark, obsessive personality and feared reputation as the "Mad Duke." Attracted by something unique about Elara, the Duke takes her away by force, treating her as his exclusive possession, confining her like a "sparrow in his palm." Within the Duke's castle, Elara endures the pain of being controlled and "disciplined" while simultaneously using her intelligence and knowledge from her past life to seek opportunities for survival and secretly build her strength. She must navigate the Duke's volatile "mad dog" behavior and suffocating possessiveness, while also maneuvering through complex noble politics, church influence, and estate affairs, gradually showing astonishing resilience and growth. As time passes, through their forced entanglement, Elara begins to glimpse the trauma and vulnerability hidden beneath the Duke's violent exterior. Meanwhile, the Duke finds himself increasingly drawn to and affected by this untamable "sparrow," and cracks begin to appear in his icy heart. After experiencing external political turmoil, court intrigues, and even the crucible of war, the two are forced to cooperate, their relationship becoming exceedingly complex—a mixture of coercion, hatred, dependence, and a thread of unconscious mutual salvation. Ultimately, Elara transforms from a serf merely struggling to survive into a woman of wisdom and strength capable of navigating the darkness. The obsessive and mad Duke, through their mutual torment and redemption, begins to confront his inner self and seek change. The story revolves around themes of coercive love, the fight for survival, personal growth, and eventual mutual redemption, depicting a tale of intense, painful, yet compelling love and hate set against a medieval backdrop.

My Dear Duke(BL)

On his 20th birthday, Asher's mother confessed something he never expected. After the truth was revealed, she died giving her last blessing to him. That's when Asher found himself all alone, confused about his own identity and worrying about his future. What did she say? -He was someone special? -Someone people would come after? She said he was coming from a very rare but also a very special race called omega where men could get pregnant. Was it real? At first, Asher strictly refused to accept his mother's confession. But in the end, he had to believe it. Because it was the bitter truth. If he was really coming from such a rare race, and had such a special body, did he have to live all his life hiding so he wouldn't get caught and become someone's plaything? Was that the only way to avoid getting the bad ending his father got? Why was he even born as someone like this?! He just wanted a peaceful life. So, it wouldn't be as dangerous as his mother said if he just forgot he was special and lived like a normal person, right? People would not notice. Alas, it's been a long time since people last saw an omega and they must be believing no omega exists now. At least that's what he thought... He thought people might have forgotten about his existence and he would not have to face any problems in the future.  Whether he was special or not, he still became a target. When he was kidnapped and auctioned as a slave, he regretted ignoring his mother's last advice. "Don't trust anyone easily. Your safety is in your hands and protecting yourself is your duty." He could only blame himself and expect for the worst if his special identity was to get revealed and meet the same end as his father did. However, his fate gave him a second chance along with a huge surprise which changed his life for the better. Hopefully, Asher was saved by the so-called 'bloodthirsty monster' duke and brought to his mansion to babysit his spoiled 10-year-old little sister who threw tantrums declaring she wants Asher to pat her head and comfort her. Just to babysit this adorable, little girl.  He was safe. His secret was also secured within himself. Thanks to that chaotic sister and brother, Asher's life slowly took new turns and continued with almost no obstacles...till some point. The surprise? The duke happened to have some kind of a 'strange' illness that had no cure. Not long after when Asher discovered it, he ended up becoming the perfect cure for his illness. But how? -Remember? He was 'special'! Where would his specialty as an omega lead his life to? What kind of mysteries would he have to encounter with this duke wishing comfort from him?  Will the duke's 'strange' illness ever get healed? How would their story flow to that perfect happy ending with the twist of love landing in the middle of their 'just a deal'? ________________ Note:  This story continues in a historical timeline. Similar to omegaverse, but not the same omegaverse universe. Magic, revenge, dukes, royal families, curses, spells, heats, ruts... (The book cover is from Pinterest. Respect to the artist.)
