As if being orphaned, broke and forced to answer an Ad for a mail order bride isn't bad enough. Lily finds out, much too late, that she must be a mother as well. Unfortunately for her, being a mother is the least of her problems compared to the very glaring problem of whose mother she has to be; a mother to six children. * Raymond doesn't exactly have a choice when he decides to put out an Ad for a mail order bride, excluding the very major detail of his six children. With the dire need of proper feeding, care and love that his children are in, he would much rather lie to a woman than lose his children to starvation. Leaving out his children's existence is not the only thing Raymond has done, he has also left out the fact that he has no intention of being intimate with his new wife. The plan was to acquire a housekeeper in the guise of a wife and live as friendly strangers. Raymond is not prepared for the feisty blond that answers to his Ad or the fact that it is becoming more and more difficult to ignore her presence.

She must avenge for the people she loved, the ones who sacrificed their lives for her. And she would not stop until she brings justice back to their names. On the other hand, Elizabeth was outraged by the humiliation she received from the Royal Doctor of Iftia. She would exact revenge on her, and she swore that she won't be nice.

And she would not stop until she unfolds the whole truth. ━━━━━━━━━━ 14.06.20: Completed | βœ“ 09.12.20: Due to Edit

Known as a ridiculous flirt, Lady Alice can't help but be caught in a scandalous position. With her poor eyesight, poor Mrs. Lockway can't help but blame Arabella. Being accused of scandal with a man she's never met- or heard of- Arabella has but one choice. Marry him to save her reputation.

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references β†œ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first season Chosen One awards ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021
