Since losing his hand at the Battle of Hastings, Breton archer Guillaume FitzBegard has struggled to find a purpose in life, but even Gui should be able to accomplish one simple task.  Pose as his noble friend Gilbert du Lannion and escort Gilbert's unwilling betrothed to him.  He hadn't expected the supposedly mild bride in question to be the strong-minded woman he encounters on the journey, nor that the feelings he develops go much deeper than they should for a friend's fiancée.  But 'Lady Sigrid' has secrets of her own.
Swearing to protect her foster-sister Sigrid from a marriage she doesn't want, Aldyth claims her identity.  As the companions journey back to York she must deny her attraction to the scarred, hurting man she believes is promised to another.
As Gui and Aldyth grow closer both struggle to resist a love they believe is forbidden, and which may become irrelevant if they can't survive the journey home through a dangerous and outlaw ridden country.

However, when monsters from Alvar's world kidnap my best friend, I find myself whisked away to his realm marrying him anyway.

Chattan Bride by Maria_York_Author

READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?

LITTLE VIENNA by Seekani_

Vienna could feel the King's eyes on her now, and she wanted to scream in excitement and panic. She wondered why he was staring at her, but she quickly figured it was probably for the same reason she had been staring at him. She swallowed to calm down her nerves and confidently looked at him, immediately catching his eyes, and she didn't look away this time. Christopher was a bit surprised by her action as she matched his stare. It seemed like she was challenging him to look away first. His lips curled up in a smirk, and she smiled at him, but neither of them looked away from each other. Christopher was impressed by her boldness, and Vienna was simply mesmerised by him. * * * * In the midst of preparations for his royal wedding, King Christopher's life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of Vienna, the youngest daughter of his father's dear friend. Once a mere child, Vienna has blossomed into a stunning beauty, capturing the king's attention and igniting a passion he cannot deny. Desperate for a male heir, Christopher is bound by duty to marry the princess chosen for him.

Torn between loyalty and desire, Christopher must choose between his royal duty and the love that threatens to destroy his carefully laid plans. For Vienna, the king's sudden interest is both thrilling and terrifying. Aware of the scandal that could ruin her reputation, she struggles to conceal her feelings, even as she is inexorably drawn to Christopher's magnetic presence. As the wedding day approaches, Christopher and Vienna must navigate the treacherous landscape of court politics, family expectations, and their own forbidden attraction. Will they risk everything for love, or will duty and obligation prevail? AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON AMAZON KINDLE. LINK IS ON MY BIO

Wings of a Dragonfly by Camlaaarr

Finn has an honourable position; personal servant to the monarch of Cafi, a small country off the coast of France. He also has not-so-honourable a position; a man in love with another man, in the early 1800s. Oliver is being forced towards marriage, and Finn is being forced towards accepting his love is unrequited. As France begins to fall into another revolution, the world begins unravelling around them. Oliver has to fight to maintain the democracy he established, and Finn must cope with the reawakening of his less-than-ideal past as a con artist in the search for his long-lost brother. The two must learn who to trust and who not to trust as they begin to know each other more deeply than they every thought they could. Content Warnings Applicable to This Story: This book is set in the early 1800s, and I don't want to avoid talking about the horrendous things that happened to people of colour then. It will talk about slavery, but from a firm anti-slavery perspective, never glorifying or making excuses for it. Cafi itself is a fictional country and while I absolutely believe they would have had slave trade too (because most places did and I don't want to pretend they didn't), I want the book to include Oliver's fight to abolish slavery in his country. Otherwise, there may be previous mentions of abuse, but it will be extremely mild, nothing graphic, and the chapter itself will pre-warn you. Oliver's relationship with his family can be problematic at times. Please take care of yourself during any chapters that may be triggering for you.

Where a cursed storyteller is cast out from her homeland. Where a warrior learns what it means to love from afar. Where Layla, after being betrayed by who she thought was her dearest friend, must learn what it means to care again against her own will. A story of a hidden, forbidden love who went through the centuries before finally being addressed. "But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ♡ I'll update whenever I can. There is no schedule. ♡ WARNING: One, english is not my first language, so, sorry for any eventual mistakes. Two, this is my first fanfic, so BE KIND. Three, don't like, don't read. Fourth, I tried to be as accurate as possible, but note that this is FANFIC. Five, constructive critics are appreciated, as long as you are kind and respectful. DISCLAIMER: Every picture that you see I got from Pinterest, so credit to whoever made them. I only own my oc and her story, and whatever I make up that is not in Tolkien. Otherwise, of course, everything belongs to the wonderful Professor J. R. R. Tolkien.
