"Everything I Wish I Knew" by daisywritess_

Everything I've always dreamt of was a fairytale type of romance. Everything I've ever wanted was to find my prince charming, one who buys me flowers and chocolates.

Military Girl by bllkglazer336

She used to believe in fairytales-the kind of love that felt like fate, like something out of the romance novels she hid under her bed as a kid. But reality hit hard, and instead of finding her prince, she found herself in the military, where discipline and duty leave little room for daydreams. Between grueling training, impossible expectations, and the weight of responsibility, love was supposed to be the last thing on her mind. But when feelings start to creep in-unexpected, inconvenient, and all too real-she's faced with the hardest battle yet: balancing the life she chose with the love she's always wanted. Because in her world, there are no fairytale endings. Or are there?

Guardian (Sequel to Fearless) by squigmo

One year. It had been one year since Iris Gwenneth became the first heroine of Eldia --one year since her life took a dramatic turn for the better. And in this one year, she'd found meaning in the days that had once had none. Iris had a new job, one she adored. She was Rogue Captain Gwenneth of the Eldian army. She had a new betrothed, one she also adored. Everything was wonderful... until it wasn't. In a tale of friendship, adventure, and action, Iris will find that there might be more to life than being a simple captain --a war soldier of the front lines. She will figure out that her life, her desires, and her heart are not so set in stone. She will find that the world around her harbors far more secrets than she ever believed possible. In a tale of realization and self-growth, Iris will realize that she never truly was a hard-hearted soldier as the stories claimed. No. Her calling was to fight for the ones she loved. In this new chapter of her life, Iris will discover what it means not to become some steely-eyed, merciless commander... ...but to become a guardian.

The Wrong Brother by JSmith_Writes

Eighteen-year-old Iris Howell thought she was living her best life until those two pink lines showed up on the pregnancy test. In a flash, all her future dreams went up in smoke. Ten years later, she's now a single mom to a rambunctious little girl who has become her world. It wasn't easy having to grow up so quickly without the support of her high school sweetheart, but she's doing her best. Dating was the furthest thing on her mind, but her best friend still insisted she sign up for a dating app to see if Mr. Right Now was out there somewhere. Little did she know, one of her first matches would be Monty King, her high school boyfriend's older brother. She can't deny her attraction to him or how he makes her feel, but she knows this is a mess just waiting to happen. Montgomery King may have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but that wasn't the life he wanted to live. He never fit in with the lifestyle his upper-class parents tried to force him into and he never got along with his lazy brother who was more than happy to lazily mooch off the family dollar. He took the first chance he could to join the military and do something better with his life. His years in the military are well done and he's still avoided his family and their money-hungry ways until his company relocates to his hometown. The only good part about the move is reconnecting with Iris Howell, even if she is his brother's ex-girlfriend. Iris isn't looking for a relationship and certainly isn't trying to find herself tied down with another King brother and she has good reason not to. However, Monty is making it his new mission to show her that she was with the wrong brother before.
