Please go check out some of my newer stories on my page.
Cypress Ramirez is a six. She works as a maid in a seamstress shop. She loves to sing, play music, dance, and draw. She doesn't want to enter the selection because she thinks the crown prince Adrian is a snob, stuck-up, and an obnoxious asshole. She doesn't believe in fate, or the one. Her family all work to keep themselves afloat, but just barely scrape by. Cypress is the second oldest, but became the oldest when her sister Katelyn married.
She enters the selection to help her family after her younger brother Aaron gets sick and is diagnosed with leukemia. When she gets to the palace, she starts to fall deeper all the while surviving rebel attacks and rude bitches. Cypress starts as a six, but once she ends, she will never be the same.

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM)
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.Complete

Reborn as the Emperor's Most Favored Prince
What happens when a modern girl dies... only to wake up as a baby prince in her favorite fantasy novel? Not just any prince-the Seventh Prince, Kaelion, the Empress's most beloved son and the most handsome child in the empire. In the original story, he was nothing but a side character, adored for his beauty but destined to die young, a mere footnote in the bloody struggle for the throne. But this time, Kaelion has something no one else does: 👉 A modern brain full of "strange inventions." 👉 A sharp tongue and comedic inner monologues. 👉 A determination to live long, eat well, and avoid all death flags. Unfortunately, surviving palace life isn't easy. His brothers range from overprotective to murderous, his sisters cling to him like he's their personal hero, and the nobles whisper behind his back. Worse, five extraordinary young women-noble ladies, a proud oiran, and a merchant's daughter-are all fated to fall in love with him. Between assassination attempts, sweets stolen with his fourth brother, awkward marriage proposals, and court politics, Kaelion must learn to play the role of "useless, spoiled prince" while secretly outsmarting everyone around him. But fate has already marked him as the Emperor's treasure. And treasures are always fought over. Comedy, romance, harem, and palace intrigue collide in this reincarnation tale of a girl who became the most favored prince! NOTE: I created this for fun. Open for feedback :) Thanks!
Truly Selected (Book One of The Next Selection Series)
~ 'Matthew slid closer to me so our bodies were pressed up against each other in a not to intimate way. "I hope I cross your mind every once in a while," Matthew said in an almost whisper. "Just so I don't feel so pathetic for thinking of you all the time." I felt my heart beat at a rapid pace as he said those words to me. Nothing like that had ever been said to me before, and that was all it took for me to reach up to Matthew and connect my lips with his.' ~ Twenty-one years ago, America Singer entered the Selection with no intention of claiming Prince Maxon's heart for herself Now, another Selection is about to surface, and Illéa is more excited than ever. Not only did Maxon and America provide an heir, but twin sons. Sol Soble, a Four from Kent, wanted nothing to do with the Selection. Her life was no fantasy with magic sugar castles and money growing on trees, but she loved Kent and certain things in it; and for that, the Selection wasn't in her best interest. But after a sudden tragedy, Sol's world is rocked to its core and she is doing things she never thought she would do; entering the Selection, going to the Palace, and maybe, even starting to fall in love. It's only common knowledge that when people don't learn from history, it's often doomed to repeat itself. --------------------- DISCLAIMER: All rights go to Kiera CassComplete
To Die a Villainess or To Rise a Saintess
𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗬 𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬!! ✦━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━✦ ➥ 𝑰𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉: Ehh...? No. No no no. This has to be a joke. I woke up in the world of a very cliché romance novel...... and who am I? Hahhh... Of course. Aveline von Astor. The villainess. The tragic, doomed villainess who exists solely to make the heroine look good. Great. According to the novel, I'm supposed to lose everything, get tossed into a dungeon, starve for days and then ta-da!... die by execution. Seriously, universe? Or God? Couldn't I have been a background maid or a random tree? And as if that wasn't enough, guess what? The supposedly "loyal" male leads? Wth? Yeah... they're falling for me. ME. LIKE NO! Shut up and stay away from me. YUCKKK!! EHH?! How is this happening?! They're supposed to be fawning over Miss Sunshine and Rainbows, not glaring at her and asking me if I've eaten today! NAH GET OUT OF MY FACE I DONT WANT YOU!! JUST LEAVE ME BE!! Did I seriously win the unluckiest lottery in the afterlife...? But then there is that man. Him. The demon lord. "Touch her soul," he said softly, "and I will erase your god from history." (A/N: not ur generic villainess reincarnation trope.. I HOPE LOL) ♔ ───────── ♔ 𝑯𝑰𝑮𝑯𝑬𝑺𝑻 𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑺 (so far): ♔ ───────── ♔ #1 saint #1 players #3 maleleads #6 ikemen![[Volume 2: Ein Sinclair] The Clueless Prince](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396645279-256-k700594.jpg)
[Volume 2: Ein Sinclair] The Clueless Prince
***SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED VOLUME 1!!!*** The veiled woman gently stroked the magic ball and peered at it. I couldn't see anything on its cloudy surface and nervously waited for her to speak. "Ah I see it... there's conflict, a passionate kiss, and a deadly battle hard fought in the near future." I nearly shot up from the seat in the fortune telling booth with excitement. "Seriously? Wow, Ophelia sure has her work cut out for her." The fortune teller paused before raising an eyebrow underneath her thin veil. "This is your future." "...Pardon?" -- The future has never looked dimmer but at least I didn't have to worry about being stabbed to death anytime soon. Trying to adjust to my new everyday life, I'm thrust into a situation where I'm given a rank far above my capabilities. Now forced into the spotlight and gaining the attention of the flirty Third Ranker, and the sadistically dangerous First Ranker; I'm exhausted before the second year's even truly begun. With a new term, new dangers and secrets emerge. And trying to stay uninvolved while being a cheerleader for the heroine continues to backfire. Well... at least I've got a nice place all to myself. As if to mock me, the doorbell rings and my face darkens. Unfortunately, it came with having to deal with troublesome characters who couldn't leave me alone. Hey, I already clocked out! Go bother someone else! [This story has fan art/official art in every chapter!] [CURRENT WORDCOUNT: 115k words] [AVAILABLE NOW ON TAPAS! Instead of long chapters, there are 160+ chapters instead!

!! FOR MATURE AUDIENCE!! (16+) (Trigger Warning (TW) list at the beginning of the book, please refer to it) ❤️ This story is a ⚠️REVERSE HAREM⚠️ (a girl in a relationship with multiple men). This book contains over 170,000 words and is the ⚠️SECOND and FINAL⚠️ volume. It's the sequel to Volume 1 (Broken but Sharp: Our Dangerous Mission), which you can find on my profile! This story takes place in only two volumes despite it being an Inverted Harem. It's for a simple, chill and stress-free read. Especially for those who don't necessarily like long sagas.

Feel free to leave me your comments (positive or negative) at the end or even throughout; it would make me very happy. And it would also really help me improve. ❤️❤️❤️ Summary: Derius, Grime, Zod, Sacha, and Ashen have failed in their duty: to protect their mission at all costs. Everyone thinks the young woman is dead, but not them. They can't accept it. Especially when the only thing keeping them from falling apart is hope. Especially when the truth of their feelings could destroy and heal them. Catilia jumps from a helicopter in mid-air to save the five men she loves. She's recovering with difficulty, but her healing requires a lot of effort and energy, especially since she finds herself in enemy territory. Despite the perilous, painful, and complicated situation she finds herself in, Catilia has only one thing on her mind: to find the five handsome soldiers with whom she has fallen in love, despite herself. I hope you enjoy reading and have a good time ❤️❤️Complete
