||-Rarely Updated-|| ⚠️ •LETITIA & JOHN• [Forced Proximity< Friends To Enemies To Lovers <Fake Couple <Marriage] •~•~•~•~•~•§•~•~•~•~•~• "What are you doing?" She demanded, completely disliking the smirk and smug expression on his face. "I know you didn't do it," he said bringing her against his chest with one sleek hand movement. She stared up at him, totally lost in his morassing eyes for a brief nanomilisecond. That was before she snapped out of the unwelcome daze that always came with it. "That is because Daniel is not a man," he spelled out the words putting great emphasis on her faux nomenclature. "He's not?" She whispered. There was underlying fear in her voice. "No, he's not," he answered her with a smile, one whose meaning she couldn't pin point. He was looking directly into those gray eyes that never failed to accelerate his testosterone levels. "He -you," he corrected, "is a woman." •~•~•~•~•~•§•~•~•~•~•~• When she had escaped from her home, it was with only one destination in mind-Menai, the springs of love. She never expected to never reach her destination because of one fatal distraction. When he had left his home, it was with great reluctance because he did not wish to wed the Princess of Dalcot. But when it had all fallen through, he was genuinely elated. He never expected that he would fall into marriage nevertheless-a thing that he didn't want, because of one fatal distraction. •~•~•~•~•~•§•~•~•~•~•~• If you really love Prominent, Powerful and Possessive Royalty as male leads _and_ A naive yet intelligent, beautiful but adventurous, hot headed and almost spoilt Princess as the female lead _those_ Whose tango leave you no cheering but screaming and ranting, frustrated at their plain yet sweet stupidity. _then_ You are 💯 at the right book.

Modern Romantasy | Slow Burn You stood alone. Then, I swore to be your shield. "Don't chase storms," you told me. But what else could I do, when you - Aisling Gale - walked into the open auditions for the High Spire Renaissance Faire with nothing but your cards, your defiance, and a spark that threatened to split my silence wide open? I am Tristan Carver, trusted marshal of the guild: Steady as an oak, sworn to keep order, and trained to fight on every battlefield but yours. "I can speak for myself," you told the guildmaster - but I ached to be your champion. Together, we're pulled into a faire season of high adventure and slow-burn romance - where laughter breaks betrayal, rivals test every bond, and even the fiercest masks can't hide an undone heart. Aisling, I'll stand with you through it all... when you've only ever stood alone. AUTHOR'S NOTES: * Expect new chapters every Tuesday and Friday, with 6 of 9 arcs drafted: • High Adventure - COMPLETE • High Seas - Finale out December 16, 2025! • High Romance • High Court • High Treason • High Masque * This modern romantasy-lite tale of courtship and chivalry will be rated "Mature" at High Masque, but not before then. -- Expect an excruciatingly, agonizingly slowburn romance, with protagonists who are actively trying *not* to believe what they're seeing (due to very understandable reasons). * This story also features fully adult and mature main characters in their late twenties and early thirties. They've loved and hurt before, and carry scars that keep them from jumping as fast as a first-love romance might. * I'm sure I've gotten details of Renaissance festivals and performances wrong. This story started as a fun side project for me, so my research is minimal. No disrespect intended to those incredible performers, and the faire itself is completely made up!

"I only wanted to watch the story unfold... not become part of it." One morning, I awoke not as myself, but as a minor side character in my favorite novel-the quiet daughter of a Count destined to fade into the background. My plan was simple: stay out of trouble and enjoy the view as the heroine and her destined lover blossomed before my eyes. But fate had other ideas. The cold, dangerous Crown Prince-the very villain fated to bring chaos-set his sights on me. Now, instead of peacefully watching the love story I once adored, I find myself trapped in a dangerous game of obsession, desire, and a future that was never written in the book.

"Yo, System! Just give me a break already!" One moment Selene was working overtime, the next she's stuck in a fantasy game as the villainess doomed to die. Armed with cheat-code knowledge and a whole lot of sarcasm, she's out to change her fate-by stealing quests, rewriting the plot, and avoiding death flags like a pro. But when a mysterious (and annoyingly handsome) villain starts meddling with her plans, Selene realizes surviving this world might take more than just game knowledge... it might take trust. Ugh.

Ten years have gone by since the fall of Troy. But for Althea, daughter of the great Hector, the war never ended.

Every Greek who survived while her world burned. From the chambers of a fallen queen to the camp of a Myrmidon commander, her vengeance is silent, swift, and merciless. Her final target is the most cunning mind of the war: Odysseus, King of Ithaca. To reach him, she infiltrates his court, expecting a monster. Instead she finds a weary king, a clever queen, and... Telemachus. Kind, honest, perceptive Telemachus. The greatest flaw in her plan. The only flaw. ▸ Princess of Troy: Book #1 ▸ COMPLETED ©Fleur-DeLys Highest Ranking: #1 in Ancient Greece #1 in Troy #1 in Epic The Musical #1 in Greek #1 in Iliad #1 in Odysseus

But when her safe haven is suddenly disturbed by her own kind, she needs the help of those she is terrified of most. Amidst the chaos, Esmara is confronted with feelings she does not understand. Why is she so involved with the werewolves? Which side does she choose when the line between friend and foe begins to blur? And who is the dark-haired stranger she so desperately longs for? Esmara is determined to unravel the truth behind it all, even as the looming darkness seems to draw closer. ----- "Honestly, it's one of the best werewolf stories I've read: the plot, the writing, and the characters are all amazing. I can't wait to read the second book! And please don't stop writing, you truly have a great talent!" (Eastis) "I started when you only had a few chapters, and have been on the edge of my seat since."(Vettechk) "I can't explain how much I loved this book." (Abbeys3088) "This was one of the books that helped me get out of my reeding slump. When I started this book and realized how good it was i couldn't stop reading! And I still don't get how this book didn't make top 10 in the werewolf category yet, because it deserves it!" (Hannubear) "This book is one of the most well written here in Wattpad. I loved it sooo much. Your writing is so beautiful honestly!!" (Reliverelove)

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Now making her way across the fractured lands of Elyndor-the land of the Fae-Ria must navigate ancient kingdoms, twisted alliances, and a world that she no longer remembers-but one that may still need her. As secrets surface and enemies draw closer, she's pulled toward a fate written in blood and flame... and toward a bond she never expected. Her heart is pulled in two directions and yet there is only one path. In a realm where trust is dangerous and power is never given freely, Ria must decide what she's willing to become to reclaim what was taken. And who she's willing to make a deal with, even if it means trusting the most feared King Elyndor has ever known. *********************** "She is the key to a forgotten throne. He is the weapon no one dares name." "In a realm of fire and lies, only the shadows remember the truth." "He isn't fire. He's something worse. And he just chose her." "She's the heir to a kingdom. He's the end of one." "Power like his was meant to be buried. But fate has other plans."
