Charlotte Devereaux was raised to be perfect, perfect daughter, perfect ballerina, perfect pawn. But when tragedy rips through her life, the girl who once danced under the spotlight finds herself shackled and lost to even herself, forced into a marriage she never asked for, bound to a boy everyone swears is a monster. __ Rafe Cameron has demons that don't stay buried. Coke on his tongue, blood on his knuckles, he's destruction wrapped in a Kook's designer shirt. But beneath the ruin is something raw, something even he doesn't recognize until Charlotte collides into his orbit: a flicker of hope, a chance to be more than the devil he's become. There are no saints here. Only sinners, survivors, and the ones reckless and stupid enough to love anyway. _ "Maybe we're both lost," he says, voice softer than I've ever heard it. I don't need saving. And I sure as hell don't need him. So why does it feel like he's the only one who really sees me? _ Arranged Marriage trope. A Rafe Cameron Fanfic. No -Gold- plot.

𝓔𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓜𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓭 has spent years perfecting one thing: despising 𝓑𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓬𝓽 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓰𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓸𝓷. "𝓘 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓺𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓸𝓾𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓷 𝓱𝓲𝓶." "𝓘 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓸𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓱𝓮𝓻." Ten years away gave her plenty of time to refine the art-hatred is, after all, much easier to maintain long-distance. But when the scandal that drove her family from London forces her back into society, Ellery discovers two rather inconvenient truths: Benedict Bridgerton has grown impossibly charming- and hatred is much harder to maintain face-to-face. One accidental scandal, one very public misunderstanding, and one entirely unplanned engagement later... Ellery finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted- and a man she can no longer pretend to hate. From Ellery's perspective, hatred is the safest mask she has left. But masks crack. And when hers does, Benedict is there to catch her-whether she wants to be caught or not.

While Queen Penelope waits for Odysseus to return from a war that ended years ago, Daphne grows up alongside Prince 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐒, becoming his closest friend, his greatest comfort... and, eventually, the woman he loves. But in a kingdom ruled by rumor, love can be twisted into ambition. The suitors call her a siren. They claim she has bewitched the prince, luring him toward a marriage meant to secure a crown she never wanted. As the suitors tighten their grip on Ithaca, whispers spread through the palace until Daphne becomes the target of cruel accusations. The one title she has spent her life trying to escape is suddenly thrust upon her, forcing her to choose between protecting the man she loves and standing beside him when the kingdom needs him most. She never wanted to be Queen of Ithaca. She only ever wanted Telemachus. 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝟕/𝟐𝟗/𝟐𝟔 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐍'𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐆 | 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐒 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 | 𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝
