"Let's start over. My name is Juliet Mayes and I regret to inform you that we are engaged."

For some, marriage is an expression of love, joy, and commitment and the engagement prior to is a whirlwind of adoration and over the top endearment for one another.  For Juliet and Matthew it's a publicity stunt to avoid a magic vs human civil war. Together, the two would be unstoppable, but Matthew has to see that Juliet isn't his enemy, and Juliet has to trust Michael with secrets even her family can't know.

I hate that everything you do, has made me fall in love with you." "What is this?" "You read my letter? The one addressed to me and not you?" "That doesn't matter right now. What matters is that it was from the hospital and addressed to my wife. I'm so sorry that I got concerned." "Don't make this a big deal, Fred, please. It's not, so don't get mad at me when I decide not to tell you this." "Alexa, this is important! Why didn't you tell me?"

Rebirth by orangeblurr

In a world where darkness and light entwine, Josephine's Journey begins. With each step, she enravels secrects, confronts her destiny, and confronts the true meaning of beauty, power and the darkness that lies within. Dive into the a tale of self-discovery, magic and the unlickiest of loves. ___________________ As I stood beside Rigel in the moonlit garden, I felt the air thicken with tension. His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

Hope and Destiny (and everything in between). by whyismae_soannoying

"Whoever coined the term 'love' as a sign of endearment was an absolute idiot, and I mean that in the most polite way possible." Julia, like most seniors, is somewhat ready to face the final year of high school before she plans on achieving one of her two goals; to pursue her dreams in the field of journalism. The other dream, you ask? The one she's dead set on crumbling up and throwing aside? To experience romance worth the songs, the stories, and the sonnets. So, transferring to a new high school a year before passing out seems too short to want to live and love, but, unfortunately, fate has other plans in store. And the plan involves one sun-eyed boy with hopes bigger and beyond the world, and every intention to crash into a certain eager, future journalism student's life and break her walls. "Nobody focuses on the story anymore. It's always the beginning and the conclusion. The depth is all in the middle - the body, the 'long-ass narratives'." "Is it, now? Oh please, pray tell?" "Sure, you have your hope and destiny, but what about everything else in between?" "Like these small moments where I tell you how much reading helps me fall asleep? Or the moments where you punch my arm in return?"

BROKEN HOPE (Broken Redemption Book 2) by ArianaClarkAuthor

I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made.

The Royal Deal by RoshniSharma476

It was supposed to be a marriage. A contract marriage. A simple deal beneficial to two families. But she hated it, she hated objectifying herself for the greed of her father. She hated the feeling of losing from a bunch of strangers who didn't consider her say in her own life. So, she turned the tables. What she didn't know was, he only agreed to a deal thinking she had a say. He didn't want a marriage yet agreed to one for the benefit and name of his family. He wasn't a man to mess with but she took her chance and he let her. And it might be her biggest mistake. Taking her chances with him. He got obsessed with everything about her. Her fragrance. Her voice. Her very presence. She came into his life with all the intentions to leave. Now the question is, would he really let her go? Would she want to stay?

The Start of Time by charlettetaylor

All the teasing, the soft brushes of skin, the jealousy, the late night talks, the sexual tension so thick you could cut with a knife-they were all let out the moment his lips touched mine. It's the moment people dream about in movies or tell their grandchildren stories about. It was the kiss I didn't know I had been waiting for my entire life. It's needy, messy, impatient, untamed. We're grasping at each other like the desperate climax of an apocalypse movie. It's only fueled by the fact that it isn't supposed to happen, deep desires forming in places I could only dream of. And then he realizes it about the same time I do. We let go of each other quickly, the fire we created nearly burning us, and he steps back. "Fuck," he mutters, running his hand through his messy curls, squeezing his eyes shut, and letting out a deep breath. "What are we doing?" I whisper. "I don't know." And to be honest, I still don't know. Hi, I'm Mary-Kelton, and I'm the idiot who fell for the rich fuckboy. Call it hate, call it love, call it confusing. I call him Declan Ambrose Wilder, and I am royally screwed. Spicy chapters: 54 is honestly the best in my opinion, 26-27, 31, 32, 34, 35, 44, 49 *To all my Bryan girls, thank you for being here from day one! Declan Wilder was very much inspired by him!
