When the human empire Audrora and the giant kingdom Etimid are plagued with the possibility of war, Prince Brandon of Etimid must marry one of the Audrora's four princesses in order to strengthen the weakening bond between the two nations. He knew he had to do it for his country, but he was never anticipating finding himself drawn to Theresa, the youngest of the princesses. Despite their reservations, she agrees to marry him and he brings her to his kingdom. But Theresa is anxious and unsure about their future, and Brandon fears he may have been too hasty. As the two slowly try to become more acquainted, they both begin to wonder if they can have an amicable marriage. Or, perhaps, if they could have something more.

How do you protect the love of your life if he's sitting in prison for a crime he didn't commit? *** Isabella was happy - happier than she's ever been before in her life. But everything changed when her fiancé Iron Knuckles, or Knux as she calls him, got charged and convicted for a crime that he didn't commit. Knux was known around town as a formidable fighter and served as the Steel Rebels' enforcer. He had some anger issues, especially when it came to protecting her but he'd never kill a guy. Isabella knew this, their friends knew this, probably even the police knew this. But still he's serving time. With him gone, Isabella is stuck between a rock and a hard place and is forced to move to the place that she abhors - her parents' mansion. While her instincts tell her to lay down her guns, just to keep the fragile peace and to prevent anything worse from happening, she is also not the same girl she was before meeting Knux and the Steel Rebels. She has learnt to fight. And she will fight for the man that showed her that unconditional love is a real thing. She'll fight to save him. But what if she is the one that actually needs saving? *** This is the sequel to "Babydoll" and the second part of Isabella's & Knux's story. Please make sure you've read the first book before reading this one, as it won't make sense otherwise. ***** Fictive location. Mature scenes. Strong language. Abuse (not between main characters). PTSD. Violence. D/s (mainly bedroom, gentledom/sweetsub, some ddlg).

Isabella had never really fit into the mold that her family was forcing her in. Luckily, she finds a place that accepts her as she is. However, she didn't expect it to be among a bunch of rowdy bikers. *** Isabella knew how her life would go - even if she didn't like it. Since the day she was born she had been shaped and squished into the role of the perfect high-society trophy girl. But the shoe never really fit. She was too curious, too clumsy, too nice. When she intercepts a flying coffee cup for a complete stranger, little did she know she would soon be staying with the city's infamous motorcycle club. And it seems the rowdy men have little intention of letting her go any time soon. Especially not their large, protective enforcer. And that is alright with Isabella. Home is where the heart is and she's lost hers in the Steel Rebels' club house. **** This is the first part of Isabella's and Knux's story and will be completed with "Hammer & Anvil (Steel Rebels MC #2)". ***** Fictive location. Mature scenes. Strong language. Past abuse (Trigger warnings in chapters)/PTSD. Violence. D/s (mainly bedroom, gentledom/sweetsub, light ddlg). Relates to "Neighbor cottage" but can be read independently. Word count: about 200 000 Original cover picture: https://unsplash.com/photos/DdPvyjLOeyA - Edit by noige22 Completed May 2023
