*Sequel to The Lady Knight*
As the heiress presumptive of Monrique's largest duchy and a Lady Justice in training, Lady Therese De Beauharnais of Roche has her hands full with her duties, studies, and of course - fending off all her suitors who seem to be only after her money and her body. However, as her father, the Duke of Roche, inches towards his death, and it becomes increasingly likely that she would succeed him without a husband by her side, she faces trouble from someone who does not want a woman to govern Roche in her own right.
One of the Monriquan Armed Forces' best archers, Lady Katherine Harrington of Johanne is at the lowest point in her life. Desperate for a diversion, she is quick to accept a foreign Emperor's invitation to teach archery at his newly founded women's military academy. However, someone who does not want the initiative to succeed is determined to cause harm to the Emperor, and the students of the academy.
Both women are no strangers to injustice. As they struggle with their circumstances, only one question remains on their mind - do truth and justice always prevail in the end?

The Countess And All Her Cucks
COMPLETE "You are... alluring, mademoiselle" he murmured, his voice shaky. "But understand I... I am not accustomed to such liberties." "Why not join us, then? If you are so concerned with the propriety of it all, perhaps you'd prefer to partake... in something a little less restrained." ... Daphne de la Rochefleur was a woman ahead of her time, navigating the rigid conventions of 18th-century French aristocracy with wit, sex-appeal, and an unyielding spirit. Through her defiance, she marries Pierre de Villeroy Count of Fontainebleau , a powerful and enigmatic Count, in a match designed to secure her status after she has been shunned by her family. Their union was marked by scandal, passion, and a struggle for influence in a world where women were expected to remain silent. Daphne's story is one of resilience as she faced the social backlash of her husband's desires... being a cuck for his wife. Through the backlash, Daphne finds herself in a web of courtly rivalries, French Revolution and fights to carve out her own place in high society. Despite being overshadowed by the men who sought to control her fate, she wielded her own form of power-through social maneuvering, intelligence, and the power that is between her legs.Completa
