Arabella has spent years dodging her mother's attempts at a high-society marriage while trying to prove herself worthy of inheriting her late father's booming maritime business. She has no time for etiquette, dancing, and frilly dresses when her father's legacy is on the line. As Arabella's mother becomes increasingly desperate to find Arabella's Complement, Arabella becomes just as resolute to avoid all endeavors at matchmaking while chasing pirates, locating missing girls and shipments, and running from a particular pair of ocean blue eyes that seem to hound her every step. Can Arabella escape Fate, or was she falling into its trap all along?

Arabella| H.S.
What saved her, drowned him. Arabella is a successful model and actress with co-ownership of her company, Dior, with her best friend. She is also something far more deadly than just a little girl. One night, just one night is all it took to change her life and have it come falling apart. Whereas Harry is far from put together. He's lost it all and hidden underneath jewels, money and lies are secrets bigger than the both of them, waiting to be set free. To fight or to fall? That is indeed the question. *** "Keep a gun on you at all times." I grip her shoulders so tight I think they'll break while worry emanates from her face. "Just try not to die, Sir." She plants a kiss on my forehead. "No promises, remember?" *** "I defy you, stars." - William Shakespeare My first dark Harry fanfic also...

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know .

Forced to compete in the coming-of-age competition to win the heart of the Prince and the crown. All were terrible fates, but only one included him. ___________________________________________ - completed - Mature sexual content Cover credits go to DevilishwritingsComplete

These abilities lead one man to question her very existence aboard his ship: Captain Kaden Lockes Suddenly Arabella and Kaden find themselves surrounded by dangerous and otherworldly creatures. Now the two of them must team up along with a wary Leviathan and Arabella's overeager brother to fight not only the sea witch, but also a nasty navy admiral with a grunge against Arabella.

Little Doll

Stormkissed
Modern Romantasy | Slow Burn You stood alone. Then, I swore to be your shield. "Don't chase storms," you told me. But what else could I do, when you - Aisling Gale - walked into the open auditions for the High Spire Renaissance Faire with nothing but your cards, your defiance, and a spark that threatened to split my silence wide open? I am Tristan Carver, trusted marshal of the guild: Steady as an oak, sworn to keep order, and trained to fight on every battlefield but yours. "I can speak for myself," you told the guildmaster - but I ached to be your champion. Together, we're pulled into a faire season of high adventure and slow-burn romance - where laughter breaks betrayal, rivals test every bond, and even the fiercest masks can't hide an undone heart. Aisling, I'll stand with you through it all... when you've only ever stood alone. AUTHOR'S NOTES: * Expect new chapters every Tuesday and Friday, with 6 of 9 arcs drafted: • High Adventure - COMPLETE • High Seas - Finale out December 16, 2025! • High Romance • High Court • High Treason • High Masque * This modern romantasy-lite tale of courtship and chivalry will be rated "Mature" at High Masque, but not before then. -- Expect an excruciatingly, agonizingly slowburn romance, with protagonists who are actively trying *not* to believe what they're seeing (due to very understandable reasons). * This story also features fully adult and mature main characters in their late twenties and early thirties. They've loved and hurt before, and carry scars that keep them from jumping as fast as a first-love romance might. * I'm sure I've gotten details of Renaissance festivals and performances wrong. This story started as a fun side project for me, so my research is minimal. No disrespect intended to those incredible performers, and the faire itself is completely made up!
