Far away in a small land called Zariya there was a girl named Lillian Harris who was all sorts of unlucky. After losing both of her parents in a tragic accident, Lillian was forced to become a parent to both of her younger siblings, Rose and Henry.
Lillian knew there was no inheritance to save her from this catastrophic mess. Lillian was young but not stupid-she knew how badly her father was suffering due to monetary complications. She had no family left in Zariya to help her. She was alone. It was a nightmare come true.
Being born in a world where one needed to be wed in order to survive didn't help her case either. Society was unfair and definitely not on her side. She was born in a world where love was obligatory. She was born in a world where men ruled and women listened.
She was born in a world she hated.
Then there was Nicholas Cobain. The only son and child of both King, Arthur Cobain and Queen, Eleanor Cobain. An heir and soon to be crowned.. Everyone knows a king needs a queen. Nicholas might not have any plans to marry but his father definitely does.
What happens when word gets sent out that a prince is looking for a princess? And not just anyone, someone worthy to be queen. Someone to prove themselves worthy. A challenge amongst all women who dare to compete for a single crown and an entire kingdom.
Could this be Lillian's gateway out of her impecunious state?

The Expansion of the Universe {Completed}
"My name's Elijah, by the way. It's nice to meet you, window-girl." She liked that name: Elijah. "I doubt you're even listening, but, look, I'm not here to cause problems, you know? I'm just here to chat. It can get lonely when we segregate ourselves into our own little world. I mean, maybe you like it in there," he continued, as she stared at the door separating them, "but, in case you don't, I'd like to offer my company." Instead of panicking, Liza could only focus on four words he'd said. 'Our own little world.' How had he known? She was in her own little world, consisting of her, her dog, the condo, and now, maybe . . .? Her voice was barely a croak when she spoke to him for the first time. "I'm listening." *** A horribly tragedy left Liza Garner tucked inside her condo, the only safe place she knew, terrified of the outside world and the people within it. Especially men. A change in living brought Elijah Harris into a nice new neighborhood, and he'd never been afraid of knocking on others' doors and introducing himself. Especially if a pretty woman was on the other side. This is a story about mental health, the amazing impact certain individuals can have on one's personal journey, and how making progress-no matter how seemingly insignificant-is always impressive. *** PLEASE NOTE: Rated mature for language, topics, and detailed descriptions of gore.
