#StanfieldHeir4: Serena Steele Winter Serena Steele-- heiress to Stanfield Empire-- is the very beloved youngest of the Steele. Oh yes! She relished her fame and basked in her glory. But her childish heart secretly yearns for something magical-- a love that will lead her to forever. But no one is good enough for her brothers. They think men just want her for what she have and use her to climb up to a ladder and get to the top. And some men are not ashamed to show her that she was indeed coveted because of her title. She's tired of those kind of men. Weak, opportunist and coward. Might as well be an old maid than marry for convinience. But on her way to fulfill her promise to her brother, she journeyed in a far away farm with an abandoned castle and found a man who owned a heartbreakingly gorgeous face and a mysterious heart. Killian Draco DeVilla-- the Devil's son. Dark and dangerous. But brave. The man who makes her heart flutter. Can she persuade him without tripping her crown first?

"Our next is a girl of eighteen summers. She has smooth, unblemished skin and has been schooled in the arts of love and seduction. But most of all, she is untouched." my auctioneer and captor said as he paraded me in front of the men. They eyed their fill of my body but they were forbidden to touch. "Bidding starts at two hundred pieces of silver." I was returned towards the stage as the men stated their prices. I was a rare commodity: a slave girl yet untouched, eighteen, fertile when the land has been struck with a plague that left women barren. The price for me reached eight hundred silver coins and many have already backed down. "Two hundred gold coins!" a man spoke up. It was he, the man who stared at me with passion and desire in his eyes moments ago. That was quite a sum for a slave! "Two hundred gold coins going once, twice... Sold to the King of Ivaris!" the auctioneer shouted. There it was. My fate was sealed. I am a love slave and it is just my luck that I am sold to the same cruel king that destroyed my kingdom. *A story of love, of gods and goddesses, of reincarnation and magic, intrigue and betrayal, of kings and war...* ***Credits to @DarkLeague for the cover***

“Wait.” She lays her hand on his chest. “Where will you be? This is crazy….all the things that have happened tonight, that man being killed…I don’t even know how or why he was killed.

** Special Note ** This story will be edited at a later date to fit my current writing style, however, I am leaving this first very rough draft up until then. Highest Ranking -- # 1 in General Fiction - Feb 2015 to April 2015 Twenty-two year old Lea Mason didn't mind living a boring life far from the limelight that her parents enjoyed. In fact, she thrived in the solitude and mundane routines that she surrounded herself with. Carter Stephens, crime boss extraordinaire, enjoyed dishing out pain and punishment to those that dared to cross him. His only rules for life were simple: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, know their every weakness and use that weakness to destroy them, never leave a witness alive, and never, under absolutely no circumstance, feel. **All rights reserved.
