~Throne of Glass meets The Selection
His Royal Majesty, Prince Cedar. A boy of many delights, whose currency was secrets and kisses rather than coins and power. The King-To-Be looked grandly bored, his feet swung across the arm of his throne, his head tilted back into the sun's rays through the windows.
"Ah, my lovely wives to be." The prince drones, a lock of ebony hair falling across his silver eyes. "Here to offer your services? On my lap or at my feet, my darlings, your choice." Cedar swishes his wine around his glass, before downing it in one go.

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.

Princess Elena is beauty wrapped in duty, her every move watched, her fate already written in a marriage of power. But when her eyes linger on Henry's, when her voice softens just for him, he feels the chains of loyalty straining against the pull of something far more dangerous. Their love is not gentle-it is a hunger they dare not name. Stolen glances in the corridors, brushes of hands that linger too long, whispers in the night that burn hotter than fire. Every secret meeting threatens scandal, every heartbeat risks ruin. Yet neither can stop, for desire grows wilder in the shadows where no one dares look. As court politics tighten like a noose and betrayal stirs in the kingdom, Henry and Elena are forced to choose: deny the passion that consumes them, or surrender to it and watch their world collapse. For in a realm where love is forbidden, nothing is more dangerous than desire itself.
