Modern Romantasy | Slow Burn You stood alone. Then, I swore to be your shield. "Don't chase storms," you told me. But what else could I do, when you - Aisling Gale - walked into the open auditions for the High Spire Renaissance Faire with nothing but your cards, your defiance, and a spark that threatened to split my silence wide open? I am Tristan Carver, trusted marshal of the guild: Steady as an oak, sworn to keep order, and trained to fight on every battlefield but yours. "I can speak for myself," you told the guildmaster - but I ached to be your champion. Together, we're pulled into a faire season of high adventure and slow-burn romance - where laughter breaks betrayal, rivals test every bond, and even the fiercest masks can't hide an undone heart. Aisling, I'll stand with you through it all... when you've only ever stood alone. AUTHOR'S NOTES: * Expect new chapters every Tuesday and Friday, with 6 of 9 arcs drafted: • High Adventure - COMPLETE • High Seas - Finale out December 16, 2025! • High Romance • High Court • High Treason • High Masque * This modern romantasy-lite tale of courtship and chivalry will be rated "Mature" at High Masque, but not before then. -- Expect an excruciatingly, agonizingly slowburn romance, with protagonists who are actively trying *not* to believe what they're seeing (due to very understandable reasons). * This story also features fully adult and mature main characters in their late twenties and early thirties. They've loved and hurt before, and carry scars that keep them from jumping as fast as a first-love romance might. * I'm sure I've gotten details of Renaissance festivals and performances wrong. This story started as a fun side project for me, so my research is minimal. No disrespect intended to those incredible performers, and the faire itself is completely made up!
To Marry a Dragon
||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.

Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury.

Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters.

And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.Complete
