Chapters: 3/? — "the tactical retreat"

Rating: Mature

Fandom: Once Upon a Time (TV)

Relationship: Captain Hook | Killian Jones/Emma Swan

Characters: Emma Swan, Captain Hook | Killian Jones, Elsa (Once Upon a Time), Prince James (Once Upon a Time), William Smee (Once Upon a Time), Baelfire | Neal Cassidy, Widow Lucas | Granny

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Regency, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Enemies to Lovers, Angst with a Happy Ending, Dark!Killian Jones, Scarred!Killian Jones, Badass!Emma Swan, Captain Hook | Killian Jones/Emma Swan Smut, BAMF Emma Swan, BAMF Killian Jones, Banter, Angst and Romance

Summary:

What do you get when a sharp-tongued spinster strikes a bargain with the most fearsome duke in England?

Lady Emma Swan is not most women. With her beloved sister dangling on the edge of a disastrous engagement to a predatory earl, she does what she does best — she thinks three moves ahead and charges straight toward danger with very little regard for consequences. If that danger happens to be the infamously terrifying Duke of Hookshire… well, she’s faced worse. Probably.

Killian Jones, the Duke of Hookshire is scarred, snarling, and perfectly content to terrify every soul within a ten-mile radius of his estate. He doesn't want company. He doesn't want a wife. And he absolutely, categorically does not want Emma Swan storming through his doors and refusing to be intimidated.

She needs him as a means to an end. He tells himself she is nothing but a nuisance. They are both, spectacularly, wrong.

If you like, buy me a coffee :)

Desperate times demand bold actions, and Emma Swan is about to pull off the ultimate gamble: faking an engagement to the elusive Duke of Hookshire to rescue her family from financial ruin. Her plan seems foolproof—until Killian Jones, London's most reclusive and mysterious nobleman, learns of his sudden engagement.

Once a celebrated figure of society, a tragedy drove Killian into self-imposed exile. Now, intrigued by the daring woman claiming to be his fiancée, he steps back into the spotlight, determined to turn the tables.

In a game where hearts are on the line, can a fabricated love affair turn real, or will the truth shatter more than just their reputations?
