Royal Fools by greenwriter

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.

The Inured Villainess by emwritesbookstories

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

I'm Not Kissing The Devil Twice by Kem-Bee

Taleesa has spent her life in the shadow of her younger sister, constantly striving to win the affection of a family that only adores the weak and fragile sibling. All she wishes for is an escape-someone who would love her for who she is. When a marriage proposal from the infamous Duke Clorance arrives, it feels like anything but fortune, as the duke is known for his cold heart and cruel nature. Just as she's about to accept her fate, another proposal comes, this time from the charming Marquis Reidwood, whose warmth and sweetness sweep her off her feet. But happiness is fleeting. After their marriage, Taleesa discovers that the marquis is not the man he appeared to be. He only married her to hurt his rival, the duke, who is secretly in love with her. Trapped in a nightmare of physical and emotional abuse, her life becomes a twisted game where she is forced to maintain the facade of a happy marriage. As her hopes of bearing an heir are crushed, she faces cruelty not just from her husband, but from his family and the public. Her life takes a darker turn when she learns her beloved sister has been having an affair with the marquis for nine years-and is now pregnant with his child. Betrayed by her own family, Taleesa is framed for adultery and sent away with nothing, and when she believes she can finally be free, she faces a cruel death from the hands of her husband. But fate isn't done with her yet. Taleesa wakes up the day before she accepted the marquis's proposal. This time, she vows not to kiss the devil twice. But rejecting him will put her life in danger, and with her wicked family standing in her way, escape is impossible. Her only chance lies in the hands of Duke Clorance, the very man she once feared, but who may be her only hope for survival-and love. In a world of betrayal and heartbreak, can Taleesa rewrite her fate and find the love she deserves? Or will she fall victim to the same cruel game once again?

Damsel Knight by samaustinwriter

Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of. The road forward isn't a safe one for a girl travelling with only her foster brother as company. Magic lurks in dark places. Vengeance burrows deep in many equally dark hearts. And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.
