They called her a mistake. They called him a monster. Princess Ariel Ravenspire was born of forbidden passion - the bastard daughter of a king who cannot bear to look at her and a mistress long since forgotten. In the court of Elarion, she is a ghost draped in silk, invisible except when her half-siblings need a target for their cruelty. They've spent years trying to break her and snuff out the gentle fire that burns within her chest. But Ariel refuses to become the villain of her own story. Where they offer hatred, she gives grace. Where they see weakness, she harbors an unshakable strength. Across war-torn borders, in the shadow-draped Kingdom of Umbrahal, Crown Prince Caden Valtara is the nightmare that haunts the wicked. They call him the Demon Prince - a title he's earned with blood and brutality. Ruthless to his enemies, merciless to the corrupt, he moves through the darkness like vengeance incarnate, dismantling trafficking rings and crushing those who prey upon the powerless. The aristocracy trembles at his name. The common folk whisper prayers of gratitude. He is judge, jury, and executioner - and he has never apologized for the monster they've made him. When two kingdoms exhausted by endless war finally seek peace, the price is steep: a royal bride to seal the treaty. Ariel, the unwanted princess, becomes the sacrifice - a lamb offered to the demon. She expects death, or worse. He expects a fragile, terrified girl who will cower in his presence. But neither expects to find, in the person they were taught to fear, the one soul in all the realms who truly sees them. She was raised to be forgotten. He was born to be feared. But some bonds are forged in fire - and no kingdom can stand against them. A demon feared by all. A princess loved by none. Tropes: Only soft towards her Insta Love (INSTA) Arranged Marriage (forced) Love at first sight Villian mmc (kinda?) Touch her and die 🤭 HEA

In the abandoned world of Alice in Borderland, survival is determined by a simple rule: play the game or die. Every player has a specialty. Spades rely on strength. Diamonds trust logic. Clubs depend on teamwork. Hearts destroy you from the inside out. Everyone belongs to a suit. Everyone except her. No one knows where she came from. No one knows how she keeps surviving games that should have killed her long ago. Some players swear she fights like a Spade. Others insist she solves puzzles like a Diamond. A few believe she's far too good at reading people not to be a Heart. But the truth is far more dangerous. She isn't any suit. She's something else entirely. And in Borderland, being unpredictable might be the deadliest advantage of all. While most players struggle to stay alive one more night, one man watches her with quiet curiosity. Brilliant, detached, and dangerously observant, Shuntaro Chishiya has spent his time in Borderland studying people the same way others study the games. Patterns make survival possible. Except she has none. The more he watches her, the more impossible she becomes to understand. She wins games she shouldn't. Loses games she could easily beat. And somehow always walks away alive. To Chishiya, she isn't just another player. She's a puzzle. But in a world built on manipulation, betrayal, and deadly choices, curiosity can be just as dangerous as the games themselves. Because the closer Chishiya gets to the mysterious girl everyone fears... ...the closer he gets to uncovering the one secret that could change everything. The girl with no suit. The one player Borderland was never meant to have. The Wildcard. ♠️♥️♣️♦️

(Book 2 of the Mafia standalone series) "Matteo-" The word dies in my throat as he reaches across the console, one arm wrapping around my waist, and before I can process what's happening, he lifts me effortlessly and pulls me onto his lap. My breath catches and I stare at him, stunned. His face is inches from mine. Close enough that I can see the faint scar near his eyebrow. Close enough to feel the heat of him through the thin fabric of his shirt. "Matteo-" I start again, but it comes out softer this time. He kisses me. It's not gentle, it's not hesitant.... it's desperate. I freeze for half a second, my mind blanking completely and then something inside me snaps. I kiss him back harder, aggressive in a way that surprises even me. His lips are rough on mine, aggressive and insistent. He kisses me like he's starving for it. My hands fist in his shirt, anchoring myself to him as he devours my mouth. His tongue slides against mine and I moan into him. The sound is swallowed by his kiss, muffled by his lips.

She'd be a fool to let herself get burned again - but who doesn't like a little fire? ♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥ Thank you so much for your interest in my story!

Somewhere between one train station and the next, the world ends. After a long shift and a momentary distraction, she blinks - and finds herself in a city stripped of everyday people, social rules, and certainty. Tokyo becomes something else entirely: a place where survival is decided by deadly games, trust is a calculated risk, and every choice carries a cost. In the Borderlands, survival depends on more than reflexes. It requires patience, perception, and the ability to trust the right person at the wrong time. Chishiya is not the right person. He is calculating, sharp-tongued, and dangerous in ways she understands too well. And yet, in a city emptied of certainty, reluctant alliances begin to blur into something quieter and more complicated. Liminal is a slow-burn Alice in Borderland x Reader story set in the space between fear and fascination, where connection is both a risk and a refuge.
