"Isn't he handsome?"
"A handsome example of depravity and deceit? Indeed," Isabelle was quick to retort.

And here he comes, ever the gentleman.
"Would you do me the honour, Princess?" He said, extending his hand gracefully.
"Only because I have to, Your Highness." Isabella greeted him with a strained smile and a conventional bow.
"My my, ever so enchanting, hmm?"
Izzy took his hand and he whisked her into a waltz.

The Lost Princess (A Tom Hiddleston Fanfiction) Wattpad Featured
WATTPAD FEATURED - VICTORIA Elizabeth Francis Diana the world knows her as Princess Victoria of Wales, her family call her Vicky - Queen Victoria jokes are prevalent. She's a reluctant fairytale princess more intent on saving the world and living a normal life than living out the fantasy of what a princess is. Instead Tory is a Doctor and a woman, a woman just wanting to be loved. But mostly she just wants to be Tory, living a private life away from the glare that led to her mother's death. She doesn't want beautiful dresses (well she has a thing for McQueen) or to live in a castle (but Kensington is passable) and if she did happen to find the perfect man? Well he wouldn't be a prince just an ordinary guy she doesn't have to share with the world. A man like her best friend's brother -Tom Hiddleston -her school girl crush.

The Prince's Escape
Once we are alone, he turns to me, "We need to work on your acting skills. How can a commoner be such a bloody awful liar? Don't you learn that when you are infants?" "Oh, I'm sorry I don't lie for sport like you lot! Last I checked, it's the ones with the sticks up their arses who are so brilliant with deceit and after seeing your performance I know it to be fact! I've never heard such shit! As though I hold any regret, for telling that fancy prat anything, ha" I call back. Now that we are alone, I no longer require restraints as I let my temper run wild. He does something that takes me by utter surprise. He literally grabs my lips and pushes them together. "Don't you ever shut this mouth of yours!" I move my hands to his chest, trying to pay no mind to the heat radiating from him and give him a great push, shoving him a few steps back in surprise. "Don't touch me! Agh!" I let out before taking a breath, and with a little less force I add, "the King bought it didn't he." "Barely," he grunted. My head snapped back at him, I was fuming. How could a man make me so incredibly angry with just a few words? This must be the great charm of the Prince, I hear so much about. #310 in Historical Fiction 10/2, #347 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 1/5, #291 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 5/18, #239 IN HISTORICAL FICTION, #232 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 6/23 #160 in Historical Fiction 1/29/18 , #131 in Historical Fiction 4/3/18, #121 in Historical Fiction 4/4, #108 in Historical Fiction 4/8, #89 in Historical Fiction 4/9, #87 Historical Fiction 4/13, #66 Historical Fiction 4/22, #60 Historical Fiction 4/25, ----- Currently going through some major revisions 1/27/2018Complete
The Next Cinderella
Cinderella has found her prince and the Enchanted Kingdom is flourishing, but in a land far, far away...there's another kingdom that's seriously missing the glamour. Here in the Enraptured Kingdom, peasants starve, the royals waste every coin on themselves, and somewhere deep in the village, Myrielle's rage against the kingdom grows, as she tries to support her family amidst all the greed. When all seems lost, Fairy Godmother visits with an offer to sponsor a search for the next Cinderella, which will help the kingdom escape its bankruptcy woes. What a relief! Except...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Despite the warning bells, Myrielle signs up to the Bachelor-like contest to find the next Cinderella. She'll ready, she's focused, and she'll jump through every hoop the contest entails if there's a chance to help her struggling family. As for love....it's the last thing on her mind! She's made of stone! Haha! In other words...yes, will definitely fall in love (sigh), but what will she do when the love goes against every aspect of her contest-winning plan? Can happy endings exist when damsels don't need saving?Complete

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.Complete

Stuck In Hell With My Enemy
"What the fuck is your problem?" I asked my sworn enemy. "Have you lost your damn mind!" I scream at the top of my lungs. This bitch better answer me before I lose my shit. "HELLOO!" I get closer this time. Now I'm directly in his face screaming at him. "WILL YOU FUCKING AN- mmfp." I was suddenly cut off by his lips on mine. He pushed his tongue into my mouth, exploring every inch like he's starving. He lets me go and I have to gasp in order to catch my breath. I already know my face is flushed and red. "Are you done princess?" He asked in his dark gravely tone. Dammit if he doesn't stop with this princess thing I think I may fall in love. "Yes, now what the fuck was that for?" I took a step back, so he doesn't decide to just kiss me again. I can't do that again. I am almost one hundred percent sure my panties are soaked. "You were talking too much." Then he just walked away. God he's such an asshole! ~*~ Clara is stuck in this hell hole of a place because of the fact that her parents are blackmailing her to stay.

Lacking Conviction (BoyxBoy)
First ever story. Feedback is welcomed. MATURE - (Themes of BDSM too. Be warned!) (BoyxBoy) "It wasn't just me..." I weakly protested, immediately regretting it as he slammed his fist into the wall, a few inches left from my face. "I don't give a damn! You will make it up to me." He looked at me unpleased, his tone leaving no room for argument. Make it up to him? "How do you expect me to do that?" I tried to glare at him, losing conviction when his dark look made me avert my eyes. "I'll think of something." He said cruelly, and by the look on his face, I wasn't going to enjoy it whatsoever. What have I gotten myself into...
