"I felt like I was the most hated antagonist, the other woman, third party, in a TV drama series-the nasty girl who shamelessly wrecked a relationship. I felt more guilty of my popularity when I agreed to be his fake girlfriend when now I knew the prince and another person had broken hearts.

How far would I go to be the duchess of North Valley? Should I stop?"

-----

In the powerful country of Luvia, status is still important, and royal blood is still a thing. Nathalie Hendlefort, an 18-year old girl part-timer, claimed that she is a direct descendant of a duke, and her grandmother was a duchess before stripping the title from their family. Nathalie never experienced royalty, and she lived like a commoner until a prince came into her life.

Prince Theodore of Luvia, popularly known as Prince Theo, is a crown prince who never thought of marrying anyone but his first love - a high-profile celebrity who did not come from a royal blood ancestor. His parents are against with him marrying a non-royal blood, but Prince Theo will do anything just to marry his present girlfriend even using a commoner like Nathalie Hendlefort.

Nathalie only wants to return their family's title and her grandmother's name, and Prince Theo will grant it and make her a duchess once he becomes a king someday, but with only one condition: for Nathalie to pretend as Prince Theo's girlfriend in the public, while he is dating his non-royal blood girlfriend secretly.

As fate and love find each other in every lifetime, will this finally be the start of their happily ever after?

Shadow of the Prince by CSMeyerA

"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.

To Marry a Dragon by DomiSotto

||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free. If you see this book on any other site, they'd stolen it. If they're charging you for it, this is the best and free version. Please read it on W-A-T-T-pad. First Published: April 29, 2020
