It made me feel like I was roaming the streets of Paris without having to leave my couch." - Grace @HQ ***** On the last day of their class's college trip to Paris, Mira and Jake get tangled up in a debacle that causes them to miss their flight home to New York.

Jake, on the other hand, is your All-American frat boy with a killer smile. Translation: they can't stand each other. As they visit places they could never have imagined, Mira and Jake go from mortal enemies to star-crossed lovers with sizzling chemistry. But can their spark last without Paris' cheese and charm to keep it going? [[word count: 50,000-60,000 words]] Cover designed by Ray Gardener

By his mother's last will, King John's little niece, Princess Anaivere was made the heir apparent to the throne instead of his later own child. At first, he intended to use his niece as a puppet in order to strengthen his power and get rid of the threats of rebellion from the starving commoners as Princess Anaivere was surely beloved by them; however, he didn't know that, being cared by a peasant-born nanny thus made Anaivere to stand by the commoners' side. She even anticipated in the First Barons' War and the historical Magna Carta, rebelling against her own uncle; later she took over the throne after his death and became a beloved monarch not only in her territories, but also respected by the Holy Roman Emperor. It was later called "the Golden Reign". King John's legacy, however, did not completely end. His remaining army had usurped Anaivere thus give the crown to King John's ten-year-old heir. Then, they even took malicious revenge on the predecessor, brought her to the scaffold and ended her life in tragedy. During the reign of Anaivere the First, she was called as the most beloved monarch. During the reign of Henry the Third, she was mentioned as the forgotten legend. Tale of a virgin queen before Elizabeth Tudor and a martyr before Jeanne d'Arc. *First tale in the Legendary Trilogy.
