Her father sent her to the Suncrest Domain to retrieve the Emperor's Crystal Staff, which was left in the hands of the Duke of Suncrest, Lord Lucius Calyx, who was an elemental. As she tries to steal it from him, they get entangled with each other, and Serena unravels every single secret which both her father and Lucius hid from her. ☆☆☆

To Defend A Duke by vickitickitoria

Four years ago, Evelyn Wright's perfect life as a debutante in London was ripped away from her, and her family moved to the countryside. Since then, she has adjusted to the simple life, but one letter is about to send her to the city and back into the life of a socialite, forced to suffer through balls, matchmaking, scheming mothers and worst of all, despicable rakes. Evelyn wants nothing to do with this life, eager to return home, until a fateful decision throws her into the path of one of societies most daring rakes, Nathanial Blackmore, the Duke of Winchester. He is arrogant, rich and entitled, everything she despises about men, but as the unlikely pair begin to work together to avoid the hangman's noose, she discovers that there is a lot more to him than sinful smiles and dangerous promises. Can they escape the death sentence that hangs above them? Or is Evelyn more in danger of losing her heart, than her head?

Capturing Her Heart by vennysmushrooms

{REWRITING N PROGRESS!! - 13/25 have been rewritten. you've been warned} ---- ---- --- ---- --- Elysian Monroe held one conviction above all others: she simply couldn't believe in love. The agony and despair it often brought seemed entirely avoidable to her. She could never comprehend why people would gamble their well-being for something so fleeting, something labeled as "love." Determined to unravel this mystery, she pursued a career as a relationship therapist, hoping to gain insight into the nature of love. Yet, what she found only reinforced her beliefs; she amassed a collection of facts that painted love as a hollow endeavor. To Elysian, love was ultimately pointless. On the other hand, Akari yearned for a different kind of freedom. For a decade, her life had revolved around the man she now sought to sever ties with-the father of her child. Exhausted from the emotional toll of their relationship, she found that her sole focus should be on her daughter. At least, that's what she had convinced herself. But Akari couldn't quite decipher Elysian, and this enigma only drew her in further. As she interacted with Elysian, her curiosity began to deepen, compelling her to explore the layers of the woman sitting across from her-Elysian Monroe. Warning: This story contains strong language, explicit content, drug use and mentions sexual assault.
