Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.

One night changed everything for Rayne Aubert. Rayne always felt from a young age that she didn't belong to this world. All her suspicions came true when she awoke to another. One at war with itself. Does Rayne have what it takes to survive this war? Does she have what it takes to end it? And what of the Faery warrior she met along the way; does she have what it takes to love him through it all? UPDATE (11/05/2025) Author: To everyone who has read this... how?!😂 I never thought this dumb little book would ever get this many views. It is by no means good. I was 13-14 when I wrote this story, and it shows! But to anyone curious, I have written a new novel that I'm working on editing at the moment (I'm 20 now, and I like to think my writing has improved, lol). I've spoken with literary agents, and I'm currently building a roster of beta readers. Maybe there's someone out there reading this... and maybe there's not. Regardless, I'll try to keep updating you all with my progress of this new and serious novel of mine. Maybe I'll even give you all the first chapter as a taste test... If you fell in love with anything about this story, even if it was just one of the characters, you'll like my real novel. Though entirely different from this story, it is heavily influenced by my old work. A lot of the setting and characters were re-imagined, revived, and made into something new. Something better (I hope! 😂).
