Devoted - A Lorenzo de Medici Fanfiction
Amid the golden age of Florence, Alessia Orsini, a noblewoman from Rome, enters into a politically driven marriage with Lorenzo de' Medici, the man destined to shape history as Il Magnifico. But beyond the splendor of the Medici court lies a city on the brink of transformation-where love, betrayal, and power intertwine, and the line between loyalty and ambition is ever-blurred. As Alessia navigates the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and whispered intrigues, she finds herself torn between duty and heart. Her growing affection for Lorenzo is overshadowed by the presence of Lucrezia Donati, his long-time muse and mistress. Yet Alessia is no passive pawn-determined to carve her own path, she immerses herself in charitable work, bringing hope to Florence's most vulnerable and forging her own legacy in a city ruled by men. But Florence is far more than art and culture. Political tensions rise as the Pazzi family plots against the Medici, the Vatican schemes for influence, and distant cities like Imola and Volterra become critical to Florence's future. With war and treachery looming, Alessia must stand by her husband in both the political arena and their personal trials-challenging his actions when necessary, offering guidance, and protecting their growing family.

Refusing to be a pawn in a tragic tale, she carves her own path, away from nobility and the royal court. Instead of chasing after a prince, she becomes a world-class athlete, an Olympic figure skater and a tennis champion. She builds her own fortune, invests wisely, and even opens her own teahouse-an escape from the chains of nobility. She is finally free. Or so she thought. When Prince Kale unexpectedly walks into her café, drawn to the woman who should have been his fiancée but has become something entirely different, Serena knows her carefully built walls are beginning to crack. He shouldn't care about her-she's done everything in her power to make sure of that. Yet, for the first time, the cold and untouchable prince seems intrigued. Now, Serena faces a choice: run further from fate or stand her ground against the prince who should have never noticed her. After all, she already defied the story once. What's stopping her from rewriting it completely? This is my original work, it is based on modern day royaltyComplete
Like Fire and Powder (Violent Delights Book 18)
The War of the Roses has ended. After a thirty year power struggle, House Tudor reigns victorious, and Henry VII has crowned himself King of England by right of conquest. This is a final, very bloody revenge for the deaths of his Lancaster cousins during the War of the Roses. Now, Henry has to win the hearts of the people of England, and more importantly that of his future wife, Elizabeth of York, who is the niece of the king Henry just deposed and murdered. Henry has always been much better with numbers and account books than he has charm, much less charming women. And Elizabeth has no intention of being charmed. Both, however, know that the union is in the best interest of the people of England. Enemies to Lovers has never been quite this dramatic. Inspired by the true story of one of the most successful marriages in English history. In all technicality this comes before Son of Prophesy, but that actually explains the War of the Roses whereas this does not go through the whole thing. Trigger/ Content Warning: Bloody violence, survivor's guilt, and sexual assault are all discussed on page. A couple of characters have traumatic flashbacks to past violence. Some suggestive conversations and mildly sexual content. Some brief profanity.Complete
