His children needed a mother. She needed a home. 


Desperate times call for desperate measures...

Elizabeth Thomas has packed all her belongings- the few she still has- and journeyed across the country to marry a man she has never met to escape her late husband's reputation (and debtors). She is not - and never expects to fall -in love with her husband to be.  But when he dismisses her after one glance, she is left to make ends meet in a town where the only job opening is in a brothel.

One man's trash could be another man's treasure...

William Stewart is still recovering from the death of his wife almost two years prior and is not looking  for a new one. But he can't help but open his mind to the possibility of having someone nurture his two children.  When he witnesses her fiancee leave her stranded, Will decides to make the scorned woman his wife- for reasons even he can't explain. 

They strike up a bargain; a marriage in name only.

*NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR*

Hey guys, 
Thanks for the time for even thinking about reading this WIP. I'm not sure where I want to go with this story as yet. I do know that I have a lot of ideas for it but as of right now- they are a mess. lol.

This is my first book so if you like it please vote, comment.

Feel free to make some suggestions or comments about how I can improve my writing as well... 

Thanks!

Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose by magicallovely
10 parts Ongoing
This was my first time. I patiently waited for the man Dua Begum told me would be my first to bed with. After starting to bleed two years ago, my stepmother left me at a pleasure house when my father abandoned us. Since then, I've accepted the pleasure house as my new home. He walked in a black Kurta with subtle green eyes and a deep voice. The moment he asked my name and age and then proposed to me for the wedding, I fell in love. There was no denying it. I was just fifteen, and he was nineteen. But, ever since the night of our wedding, he has not come back to take me with him to his home. He left me alone, stranded, burning for him. I did not know who he was. What did he do? All I knew was that he was the soul of my World. My Jaan-e-Jahan. Seven years later, he came back as a storm in my life. As Sultan Rehman Sulaiman. The son of the man who took everything from my family, even before my birth. The reason I ended up in the Pleasure House in the first place. But my love for my husband, the Sultan, is bigger than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, and wider than the skies, even though he is himself a Mountain, impossible to move, an ocean, scaring people to stay away, and a wide sky, impossible to reach. Discipline is everything for him. He is full of love and respect for his family but equally heartless and dangerous toward those who cross him. And, in all of this, I entered his life as a burning flame, a tiny candle's flame, dancing for his attention, crying for his affection, and dying for his love. Until he killed my only loved one. My love died. And, his never bloomed. I was once a bud, unbloomed Rose, who opened my deep red petals for him, and he turned them black, leaving me forgotten inside the dying pages. Was I always forgotten for him? Did he never consider me anything more than a mere responsibility? Will I always be remembered as Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose?

The night of her wedding, Princess Meera Shree Rajput stood adorned in red and gold, her heart pounding with an inexplicable dread. She turned, hearing footsteps, and saw him-her groom, his face hidden behind a dark mask, his hand gripping a gleaming sword. Before she could react, he struck. Pain tore through her chest, and as her life faded, she glimpsed his retreating form, leaving her to the silence. When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer alive. She stood, watching her lifeless body, trapped within the palace walls, an invisible spirit, unheard and unseen. Centuries drifted by, and she watched the world change from her prison, yearning for release, but bound to the place of her death. One night, as she looked up at the moon, her silent prayers for freedom met the sudden sound of a car's approach. She turned to see a man stepping out-a powerful, intense figure, his dark eyes piercing through the shadows. Her endless solitude shattered, as his presence stirred something deep within her, something long forgotten.
