"What do you want, Cora?" He snapped, slamming his fist on the table, making me jump slightly as he looked at me with his wild eyes. "You spend so much time now worrying about everyone else, but for once, will you please just ask yourself what you want?!" I looked at him, my face cold and set as my eyes pricked with tears. I would not cry, not again. "It does not matter what I want. It matters what I do, in the name of my country." I turned to go, pausing briefly to turn my head to face him. "And it's Avalyn. Not Cora." Cora had lived her life in a small village, praying for an escape, an adventure like in her stories. Just as she become resigned to her simple life, she is thrust into the middle of a scheming court, a violent war, and a whole host of people pulling her in every direction.

Evie: Rowan Alastair Volkov had been my biggest nightmare and rival since I met him. He was like a shadow I couldn't shrug off. Perhaps my own. With his arrogance, his snide remarks, his grumpy frown, and his sadistic smirk, he proved to be the one thing standing in my way to a happy life and a happy ending. Regardless of our history and families, we were strangers. That was until the one link separating us shattered. What I never imagined was Rowan asking me for help. Asking me to be his wife. On paper only. Worse? I never imagined falling for him. We signed ourselves away to certain terms & truths, but now, everything was different. Because I fell in love with him beyond those terms. Rowan: Evie Rose Spencer has been the epitome of an annoying thorn in my side that I can't pull out. I've done everything to escape her. With her sarcastic wit, her confident facade, her brighter-than-the-sun smile, and her sparkly ocean blue eyes, I'd come to hate her more than anybody I'd ever met. But, we had an understanding. Be strangers. Then my whole life began to fall apart all thanks to one inheritance will. I was meant to take the seat beside my older brother and run the Volkov empire. In order for me to take what I inherited, I had to be married and make it last a whole year. If I failed, everything I wanted would be taken from me. The best shot I had at finding a new wife was marrying a stranger. But fate tied me down to Evelyn. We signed ourselves away to certain terms & truths, but if she breaks them, she'll have no one to blame but herself. Breaking her heart was inevitable with this marriage license. No matter those terms. . . . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INSPIRED BY - MARRIAGE FOR ONE, THE FINE PRINT, AND TERMS & CONDITIONS <3
Chattan Bride by Maria_York_Author
29 parts Complete Mature
READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?

The Kingdom in the Trees by Princess_Reads100
36 parts Complete Mature
In the society of Giovane, youth and perfection are not just valued-they're mandated. At 18, every citizen must marry their predetermined partner, of opposite gender, and ensure the continuation of a new, youthful generation. The rules are simple: - Personal romantic relationships before marriage are prohibited. - Arrive at the Hall of 18 before the time you were born on your 18th birthday. - Any attempt to flee or evade the marriage is strictly prohibited. - Bear children to sustain the societal cycle. However, the darker truth remains unspoken: once all their children are married off, the parents are erased from society, a reality to which children are conditioned to accept from a young age. For Arya Gold, the promise of this ritual was once a distant fantasy. But as her 18th birthday approaches, she faces the harsh reality of a loveless marriage and a future without her family. Fleeing from her fate, Arya discovers a hidden kingdom nestled in the trees, ruled by an enigmatic leader known as the King. In this secret world, she finds refuge-and a potentially dangerous new attraction. As Arya navigates her growing feelings and this new world, she must grapple with her past and embrace the hope of a future she never thought possible.

A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister. It's a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it's always been Ella Harrington's buffer. Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all. A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn't interested in her anyway. Right?

Our Summer (The Season Of Us #1) by writtenbyugne
6 parts Ongoing
This was written just so I could get motivation to finish the novel I'm writing, but I kind of love this. (English is not my first language) Giselle Holloway, the youngest of the Holloway family, has always played the role of a perfect noble lady. Outgoing and confident, she's been the center of attention ever since she entered society. Yet, beneath the surface, Giselle longs for the kind of love she reads about in books and admires in paintings-a love that sees past her performance and falls for the real her. Samuel Mortimer, the quiet and reserved son of a rival lord, has always been sure of what he wants. His future is clear, and he would rather be an outcast than sacrifice his dreams to satisfy society's expectations. When the first ball of the summer brings them together, an undeniable connection sparks during their very first dance. Samuel sees through Giselle's mask, recognizing someone far more complex than the confident lady of high society. And in Samuel, Giselle finds a rare understanding that draws her in like nothing else. They spend their days by the shimmering lake, picnicking in the forest, and talking until dusk-losing themselves in each other's company. But as summer fades into autumn, Giselle is forced to face a heartbreaking truth: perhaps not all loves, no matter how powerful, are meant to last. Bound by the duties of their families' names, can their love survive when they were always destined to be enemies?
