폐하의 밤 Author: Tiyabe 티야베 The 17th Emperor of the Empire was a woman. Purely thanks to the Duke of Roark was she able to overtake the throne against her brothers. "Your Majesty, I'm ready to follow your will." He is the emperor's loyal supporter; the noblemen bow their heads and wag their tails at his command. Yet, despite his devotion, the emperor treats him coldly. Little does the public know, that behind closed doors, she belongs to him. * In the dead of the night. The door is wide open and the duke entered the emperor's room without permission. "Get out," he said to the servants, eyes locked on the emperor. She looked at him and said, "I'm begging you, not tonight..." Before him, her dignity was useless and authority whisked away. "Your Majesty, tonight you enchant me. I'm afraid I can't hold it in any longer." His eyes glided over her sweet body and he tore her clothing apart without hesitation. "Sorry, I'm afraid that it may be a rough night." --- Source: Midnight Snacks Translation

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
