ancientegyptegypthistoricalfictionromance
Seventeen year-old Aurera Dsjot-khons is your typical Egyptian peasant, staying out of trouble, and sight, while she works in her family's fields.
Twenty-eight year-old Menenba Neb-er-tcher is the newest pharaoh of Egypt, the great ruler of a powerful empire. 
As the tradition, Menenba calls all Egyptian women between the ages of Sixteen and Twenty to his palace in Nasuthis, to compete for his hand, and a chance to better their own lives. 
Aurera doesn't want to be noticed, doesn't want him, doesn't want any of it. All she wants is to return to her home. 
Menenba couldn't care less about this contest. His massive kingdom in on the brink of war, and any misstep could tip it into a bloody civil war. 
Through their indifference, they find understanding. Through their understanding, they form friendship. Will their friendship become love? And at what cost?

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
