Princess Ayla Frazier has it all. A loving family, a royal title, servants at her beck and call and even a man to sneak around with. 

The only thing she doesn't have is freedom.

Locked up in the castle and kept a secret from her people, Ayla has never even met a person from outside the palace walls. She's been sheltered by her parents to protect their one and only child and is kept away from the public eye. The only sort of "freedom" she has is the secret training sessions with the Captain of the Royal Guard.

Her picture perfect life is changed when she catches thief Raphael Covington in the act. 

To save him from a death sentence, she assigns him community service, only for her father to assign him as her personal bodyguard. With their intense dislike for each other ever present, it's only a matter of time before one kills the other.

In a story full of sweeping dances and drawn swords, Ayla will have to choose between the good of her country and a sarcastic and cocky bodyguard she can't get rid of.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

6 parts Ongoing Mature

The story revolves around Ava and her kingdom's plight of despair, as her father is under a curse and she is the acting queen. Before her 25th birthday, she tries to break the curse her father is under, all while she seeks peace with a neighboring kingdom that they have been at odds with. Turns out, he's hotter than she imagined and is ready to please. Does he hide darkness under that smile? Or is the darkness closer to home she sould be weary of? Ava is talented, beyond what normal people attain, and the kingdom supposes she will be the next Goddess. Her nack for spells and enchantments are unmatched, her work with a whip or bow has left her enemies dead on the battlefield. She has proven herself to be the best. Magic is her friend, they say. Ava has not wanted a man, has been content with her books, her studies, her adventures to kill anything that threatens her kingdom. Now, as her father lays dieing, she is pressured to take on a husband at her coming of age ceremony, and is at a loss in what to do. Follow her as she meets Sylis and watch as the sparks fly.
