The Isle of Holt was once known for peace and harmony. But it all changed when Duke Baldric died and his brother, Lord Richard took his place. Duke Baldric's son, Peter, has returned from university on the mainland and is astounded to find his people in destitute, and himself, running for his life. Peter finds refuge in his rebelling people, and help from a young, beautiful noblewoman.
Avelina Mason has been helping raise a rebellion for the past decade. She knows the stakes but is driven by the need for justice. Lord Richard has already stolen enough from her family, and Avelina won't grant him anymore. But everything is changed when a stranger claiming to be the dead Duke Baldric's son steps foot on the Isle.
With duties to fulfill and a passion for freedom, Peter and Avelina join forces to fight against Lord Richard. And neither one can deny the growing attraction between them. But Peter and Avelina both have valuable prices on their heads. And when Lord Richard wreaks havoc on the Isle, both know that it will be a God-given miracle if they both make it out alive.

Between Daggers & Oaths || Book 2
Hope is as rare as water in a kingdom of sun-scorched sands and ancient walls. Princess Ilaria of Sigyn is poised to secure peace for her desert kingdom through an arranged marriage to Prince Godred, the ruler of a rival land. But when a shadowy assassin nearly takes her life, her plans-and her trust in those around her-crumble like desert dust. Forced into hiding on the distant island of Zospery, she finds herself under the protection of Lord Alaric Voss, a man as cold and unyielding as the sea cliffs that guard his home. Alaric is known as the Devil of the Spire, a relentless warrior with a reputation for cruelty and a heart as closed off as the fortress he commands. Yet, beneath his rigid exterior lies a past scarred by loyalty and loss, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep the princess alive-even if it means standing against the forces that seek to silence her forever. As enemies close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Ilaria must confront a harsh truth: her greatest danger may not be the assassins lurking in the shadows, but the man who stands beside her, guarding secrets that could shatter everything she's fought to protect. But the more she learns about the unyielding knight, the more she sees glimpses of a depth that calls to her, even as her own resolve hardens into something far less forgiving. In the shifting sands of war and whispered betrayals, two souls clash-one desperate to keep hope alive, the other burdened by a past he cannot escape. And as threats loom from all sides, Ilaria and Alaric will have to decide whether they can truly trust one another... or if the secrets they keep will be the very things that tear them apart. -- COVER BY @-deeisdead- ONC 2024 SHORTLISTER

KINDNESS
Presently in 1788. Now at twenty-seven years old, Kindness is managing her step-family's flower shop in the town. She overheard the Crown Prince of Italy was hosting two grand balls at the palace. She informed her step-family about the exciting news. Her step sisters, Pearl and Cassandra criticised her; that the prince would have no interest in a maid but she didn't let it bother. For the prince was that last thing on her mind. While shopping, she peeped through the dress shops' windowpane and noticed her step sisters were fighting over a scarf as she laughed. Kindness leaned back against the alley's wall and grabbed an apple from the bag of groceries. She enjoyed the fruit. Until she overheard a commotion of gamblers hollering. They were chasing an Asian-Italian young man dressed in a black long sleeve shirt paired with navy pants and boots. Apparently, he had cheated the men and ran away with their money. Kindness watched the young man jumped across the royals' carriage bumping into her. She yelled falling backwards onto the alley's ground with all the stuff in her hands scattered. He quickly maneuvered himself beneath her cushioning her fall. Her lips pressed against his as her eyes widened about to panic into a scream. The young man who was the Rebellious and Notorious Crown Prince of Italy, Prince Tristan, disguised as a commoner pulled her face closer and kissed her. He admired her non-lady-like manners and boldness. It triggered his heart's curiosity. Because of their awkward encounter, their intentions to escape from reality gave themselves a mutual understanding of each other wanting freedom, action and adventure. Despite their struggles and sorrowful moments, Kindness's faith in God and Prince Tristan's determination for love changed their fates.Terminé
