The Crown and a Lighthouse
In the modern kingdom of Northaven, tradition and progress often clash, and no one feels this tension more than Brayden, the spirited grandson of the King. After the sudden death of his father, the heir to the throne, Brayden finds himself thrust into the spotlight as the next in line. Grappling with grief and the weight of expectation, Brayden must navigate a world that demands perfection from its future king while hiding his own truth-he is gay in a monarchy that has never openly embraced change. Haunted by heartbreak from a past relationship that shattered his trust, Brayden embarks on a royal tour of Northaven, hoping to reconnect with the people and find his own sense of purpose. His journey leads him to Aldenford, a quaint seaside village where he meets Elias, a talented craftsman with a steady hand and a heart full of quiet strength. Through chance encounters, late-night texts, and shared stories, the two forge an unexpected connection that challenges Brayden's guarded world. But life as a royal is never simple. As Brayden and Elias grow closer, their bond faces intense scrutiny from a kingdom steeped in tradition. Brayden must confront not only his duty to the crown but also the deeply rooted prejudice that threatens to overshadow his happiness. With the added pressure of his father's legacy and the challenges of being a gay royal in the modern age, Brayden is torn between the man he longs to be and the future his family expects of him. Set against a backdrop of royal pageantry, quiet seaside towns, and a society grappling with progress, A Crown and a Lighthouse is a poignant tale of love, loss, and resilience. It is a story about finding courage in the face of adversity, honoring one's own truth, and learning to shine even when the world wants you to dim your light. Will Brayden choose the crown and the expectations of his lineage, or will he follow the guiding light of love and chart his own path?

One day, Prince Arman Behrouz, Crowned Prince of Sandonnia, is passing through South Sandonnia to meet with some Generals who resided in this part of the country. He sees Alicia for the first time in the cafe in which she works and immediately falls for her striking beauty, charm and lively personality. Upon seeing her need for a better paid job, Prince Arman offers her an admin post in the Royal Palace of Sandonnia. Little did Alicia know, the second she stepped into the Royal Palace of Sandonnia, she was stepping into chaos and trouble.

Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free.
