Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.

BOOK ONE!! Her voice was quiet, yet she answered with a bold sound as if to convince herself, as well as me. "I believe the love will come in time." My heart was beating hard and loud. I took a few deep breaths in an effort to slow it lest the Princess would hear. "And if it does not?" My question seemed to float in the air. No answer was given for quite a while, although her crystal eyes did not stray from mine. There were some footsteps moving in the hallway as the guards changed. The stained glass window creaked from the blowing wind outside. Rain began to patter. "Then my father was right," she all but whispered. "I must marry for the Evergreen Kingdom first." Updated WEEKLY This story is completed and has 29 chapters in total Guard of the Evergreen Queen is book two in the series! Written by an interactive author

Forced to partner with her work nemesis, Detective April Harper quickly discovers that resisting the charming and notorious Ryan Cooper may be her toughest assignment yet. *** Los Angeles detective April Harper has spent years carving out her place on the force. Fueled by a drive to prove herself, she's let nothing stand in her way. Until Ryan Cooper. Sexy but insufferable, Cooper is April's ultimate rival, so when they find themselves assigned to the same case, friction is inevitable. Their mission: solve a multimillion-dollar real estate fraud case. Their problem: they can't stand each other. April sees Cooper as reckless and arrogant. Cooper thinks April is too rigid and controlling. Every heated argument, every battle for dominance only fuels the tension crackling between them - but is it really all hate? Forced into close quarters, April finds herself questioning how much of their fire is really just temptation. And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. Late nights chasing leads turn into stolen glances, their fights into something dangerously close to foreplay. But just as April starts to let her guard down, a ghost from her past threatens to destroy everything - including the man she swore she'd never fall for. With the case and her heart on the line, how far will she go to protect them both? *** His lips graze my shoulder. "We should just keep going on about our days like we're not this attracted to each other, huh?" My heart is my throat. If I were strong, I'd put some distance between us. I'd tell him to go home, and we'd keep things professional. But I'm too far gone now.
