General Kieran Hammedatha has been placed under pressure by his father to find a wife for far too long.
You'd think that a brave and handsome soldier like him would find a bride in a blink of an eye.
That's where you're wrong.
General Kieran is not a ladies man. He has never been one to persue women, and cannot bear how they fall to his feet and adore him openly.
That said, he is against the idea of marriage, simply because he can't stand a life long relationship with someone who's all up in his business.
That is until he meets Elena Rivera, a woman of noble birth, who just keeps running away from him.
With her, logic flies out the window and he is left with an impulse to pursue.

For Honor and Love
Disclaimer: Content is subject to change as the story is still being refined. AI-generated images are used for illustrative purposes only. Kastiel Ravaryn, the fiercest general in all of Solmaria, was a name whispered in fear on the battlefield. His victories were countless, his strategies unparalleled, and his loyalty to his kingdom unwavering. When the king offered a prize for his triumphs-not wealth, nor land, but a woman of his choice-the court expected him to claim a noble lady, perhaps even Princess Avaria herself. But Kastiel shocked them all by choosing Seraphine Kaelor-a humble healer, a commoner, and a woman whose kindness had unknowingly captured his heart. Seraphine, who had spent her life healing the wounded and tending to the sick, never imagined she would be thrust into the heart of a royal scandal. She had always known her place, far from the glittering world of nobles and kings, but Kastiel's unexpected choice shattered her understanding of her own worth. As she became the center of court gossip, Seraphine found herself caught between the love of a man who defied his station and the dangerous obsession of Princess Avaria, who would stop at nothing to claim Kastiel for herself. While Kastiel battles foreign invaders, he is also forced to fight against the web of lies, betrayal, and envy that threaten to tear his world apart. With Seraphine's life hanging in the balance and the kingdom's future uncertain, Kastiel must confront not only the enemies at his doorstep but the haunting truth that love, above all, may be the war that leaves him broken beyond repair. In a land where loyalty and betrayal intertwine, where every victory is shadowed by loss, Kastiel and Seraphine must navigate a perilous path, one where their hearts and their lives are the ultimate prize.Complete
Eternal reign of the frost
In a world carved up by five brutal ruling families, twenty-three-year-old Elena Mirabel Castillo was never meant to fall in love-she was meant to lead. As the daughter of the European dictator and a decorated General in the New Regime's army, Elena has always played by the rules-until the rules change. Overnight, her freedom is snatched away when her father announces she'll be marrying the Supreme Leader's son to seal a political alliance. No warning. No choice. Her fiancé, Costantino Salvatore Accardi, is everything she's been taught to hate: cold, unreadable, and raised inside a family where emotions are considered a weakness. He's got his own scars-some inherited, some earned-and zero interest in being tethered to a stranger, even one as dangerously composed as Elena. Thrown together in a world where power is currency and rebellion is suicide, Elena and Costantino must navigate politics, betrayal, and each other-while pretending to be the perfect couple under the world's sharpest gaze. But underneath the cold diplomacy and broken expectations is something neither of them prepared for: understanding. Maybe even desire. And in a place where love is punishable and loyalty is bought in blood, that might be the most dangerous thing of all. Equal parts sharp-edged and emotionally gutting, this is a story about duty, defiance, and two people raised to lead-who might burn the empire down just to choose each other.
