Acacia by Robin_Wolfe1875

Anna of Achaea was the daughter of King Physcon and Cleopatra. Her beauty had been told through all of Greece as many had wished to bed her. She was strong of heart, often being called "Ánna i léaina" by her men. Since the fall of the Sasanian Dynasty nearly 6 decades prior, a young general had been rising through the ranks. Many had believed Mark Antony was a great general, one who took pride in his victories and always sought vengeance for his defeats. Anna and Mark knew each other very well from prior encounters, they both served under sister kingdoms and had stood in for their kings for peace accords. Anna hadn't ever liked Mark, he had a sharp tongue and an outdated belief about women. One night the tides of battle change, Mark sets out an army against Annas' in the dead of night as they pass through a neighboring area. He feigns ignorance, claiming the light of the moon distorted their flag and he had been sure it was that of the Geraki. Anna knew better. Her advisor and lifetime friend, Sebastian, warned they should make haste for Achaea. He feared Mark was planning to do something horrible to her and knew that they were safest there. Impenetrable walls overlooked the sea, from their outposts they could see as far out as the city-state of Athens. But Mark had other plans. ---- Please note, this is a fantasy.

Like Fire and Powder (Violent Delights Book 18) by kullman

The War of the Roses has ended. After a thirty year power struggle, House Tudor reigns victorious, and Henry VII has crowned himself King of England by right of conquest. This is a final, very bloody revenge for the deaths of his Lancaster cousins during the War of the Roses. Now, Henry has to win the hearts of the people of England, and more importantly that of his future wife, Elizabeth of York, who is the niece of the king Henry just deposed and murdered. Henry has always been much better with numbers and account books than he has charm, much less charming women. And Elizabeth has no intention of being charmed. Both, however, know that the union is in the best interest of the people of England. Enemies to Lovers has never been quite this dramatic. Inspired by the true story of one of the most successful marriages in English history. In all technicality this comes before Son of Prophesy, but that actually explains the War of the Roses whereas this does not go through the whole thing. Trigger/ Content Warning: Bloody violence, survivor's guilt, and sexual assault are all discussed on page. A couple of characters have traumatic flashbacks to past violence. Some suggestive conversations and mildly sexual content. Some brief profanity.
