TWISTED VOWS
A Dark Arranged Marriage Trilogy Silvya Ashbourne was born to be adored. A perfect doll with porcelain skin, green eyes sharp as glass, and a crown of blonde hair. Cold, cruel, untouchable-she ruled the halls of their private school with a smile like a blade. People worshiped her beauty, ignored her venom, and envied the throne she built on fear. Axel Hawthorne was born to be obeyed. The Hawthorne heir, ruthless even as a boy, with grey eyes like storm clouds and a voice that silenced rooms. A god to some, a devil to most. He fought, destroyed, and commanded, his name carrying the weight of England's richest, most feared family. Once, they were children raised on privilege and poison. Once, she mocked him when his family fell. Once, he swore he'd never forgive. Now, at twenty-two, they are bound by an arranged marriage meant to merge two empires. But Axel doesn't want peace-he wants revenge. And Silvya, sharp-tongued and unapologetic, refuses to bow. What begins as a war of hate spirals into something darker: a union of obsession, a love as twisted as the lies that ruined them, and a crown built on blood. Because the greatest betrayals don't come from enemies. They come from the ones who should have been family. He is the devil who burns empires. She is the doll who breaks chains. Together, they will either destroy each other... or rule the world. -- THIS IS BOOK1 OF THE HEIRS TRILOGY. THIS NOT A STANDALONE. -- "She ruined me once. Now I'll ruin her forever." --Complete
Royal Fools
As Sutherland's new king, Emory Davercher faces countless challenges, but nothing as excruciating and frustrating as his mysterious, eccentric betrothed. *** When King Emory of Sutherland receives news that his betrothed is on her way to Sutherland, he sends her away before even laying eyes on the woman he has no intention of marrying. Months later, after a narrow escape from an assassination, he flees to his childhood home where he discovers a massive problem. Due to an unfortunate mishap, his betrothed has not left Sutherland. She's been in his secret estate all along. Grand Princess Florence Paulet of Gavaria and her cousin, Lucy, thinks her arrival in Sutherland will be easy. She doesn't expect that her betrothed, King Emory of Sutherland, will send her straight to an empty estate on an island where they fend for themselves for months. And when he finally shows up, he has the audacity to fool her by introducing himself as someone else. After having killed dozens of chickens with her bare hands to stay alive, and with lying as her ultimate weapon for survival since she left Gavaria, what else can an annoyed, blithe, and audacious Florence do? Of course, she has to return the favor and make him twice the fool. He thinks he's fooling her, and she finds fun knowing it's the other way around. As the harsh winter traps them in the estate, lies, little accidents, and undeniable attraction draw them together stronger than the snowstorm. But not as much as Florence's true reasons for leaving Gavaria, which are also making their way to Sutherland.Complete

[A/N]: Hey guys! Before I post this story, I was going to give a little insight. A very good friend of mine and I decided to write this book, and what better way to recieve constructive critcism than to share with everyone here on wattpad? I'm proud to say that we're nearly finished with it, around three to five more chapters need to be written. However, I will gladly post two chapters a week. Depending on the length, I could possibly split each chapter in two. Enjoy! -Skye & Jasmine My attempts to sleep failed miserably as realization hit me. Tonight was my last night unattached to someone. I swung my legs to one side of the bed. My bare feet brushed the cold floor and sent shivers up my spine. Scotland is much warmer this time of year. I took a few steps toward the window, but before I got too far I heard chatter just outside my door. "She’ll never be happy with him." The first voice, a female, was barely audible. "She could be. She’s just upset about Benjamin." A second voice, a man, replied to the woman. "She’ll never love Derick." A hint of anger played beneath the surface of the woman’s voice. I lay back down after that, so much for Emma accepting our marriage. Unhappiness coursed through my body and I became furious. I’d never love Emma either; with that I went to sleep. I dreamt of my mother singing in the castle, her voice was loud and demanding. Her words flowed so freely from her mouth and danced playfully down the halls. She was in the throne room singing to my father just as she always did. Her song was about the way she learned to love my father. Most marriages in Scotland are arranged, and due to our beliefs they have to work out. My mother had always been so madly in love with my father, but he was hesitant because he had to leave the woman he loved so dearly. So he let her go…Complete
