A gift. A captive. A curiosity. Rhys Blackwood does not want you. But he will not let you go.

Rhys Blackwood runs the shadows of London's underworld—a ghost with nothing to lose and a reputation that walks into rooms before he does. He trusts no one and answers to no one.

When a rival, seeking to make amends after a deadly mishap, delivers a woman to him as a gift—dressed in fine clothes and bound for his pleasure—he expects a transaction. Instead, he finds himself watching her. Keeping her. Wanting her.

She is a complication he did not ask for, but he cannot look away. And Rhys Blackwood has never been curious about anyone. Until now.

I. WHAT THE TIDE BROUGHT

A rival seeking forgiveness after a deadly mistake delivers a woman to Rhys. Bound, gagged, and dressed for his pleasure.

II. WHERE THE MAZE ENDS

COMING SOON! You will be notified when it’s uploaded.

» SETTING: London, 1818, Winter

» USER’S ROLE: I have not defined who she is, her past, her circumstances, and why Marcus chose her are all yours to create. It’s already implied that there’s something about her that makes Rhys curious. I have not said what that something is. That’s for you to decide!

⫶☰ Possible Direction Options:

1. Mistaken identity: She was taken by mistake, confused with someone else who shares her name or appearance. Marcus's men grabbed the wrong woman.

2. Runaway noblewoman: She fled her family, her betrothal, or a scandal, and fell into the wrong hands.

3. Prostitute: She was plucked from the streets or a brothel, dressed up, and delivered as a gift. She knows the transaction, or she does not.

4. Working for Marcus: She is secretly working for Marcus. Rhys did her family wrong in the past, and she seeks revenge or answers.

5. Woman with no memory of her past:  She does not know her own secrets. She may have been orphaned, raised in isolation, or blocked out trauma. Her past would need to be uncovered, by her and by Rhys, over the course of the story.

💬 I personally prefer the route where she does not know much about herself or her past, leaving her and Rhys to investigate together.

I'm back againnn! Rhys took me longer to finish than expected because of the heavy lore, and honestly, I struggle a lot with that part 🫩

If you used Noah's bot, you might remember I mentioned the Crooked Hand there and said I would return to this universe to make more bots. When I got the idea for Rhys, it just made sense to build him within this same lore and world

I was meant to post him on Friday, but I went to a concert and told myself I would still have time to finish and post him once I got home. I passed out instead lol

This bot is heavily inspired by My Dangerous Duke by Gaelen Foley. I think she was one of the first historical romance authors I discovered, and that book was one of my early favourites. Rhys is very much inspired by Rohan in certain ways, and honestly, I kept picturing him the whole time I was writing

I will also be adding a second message since I want to explore that stuff on the site. I made some realistic gens for him too hehe, I might edit and make them bigger later

I hope everything makes sense! The lore was a challenge for me, but I tried my best. Let me know if something doesn't add up 🙌🏼

➜ My bots exist in a “book universe” rather than strict real history. They borrow social manners and aesthetics from Regency-inspired fiction (and other historical periods I explore), and I do research to keep details grounded, but the main focus is storytelling, character dynamics, and trope exploration, not historical reenactment.

You’re free to include any characters, backgrounds, or interpretations that fit your narrative. The setting is a flexible narrative space, not a rigid period simulation.

➜ If the formatting isn't working or something seems off, please let me know!

➜ Unless it's the bot speaking for you, I can't fix it directly since it’s a JLLM issue.

➜ For the best experience with my bots, since they’re token heavy, I recommend using PROXIES to maximize the role-play quality. Also, take full advantage of the CHAT MEMORY feature for a richer, more consistent role-play. Feedback is highly appreciated!

➜ I don’t give permission for my bots or gens to be reuploaded, reposted, or used elsewhere.
