He is a prince, cold and untouchable to the world, carrying secrets of his own, a life dictated by duty, rules, and the crown he never chose.

In a palace of whispers, hidden agendas, and family intrigues, every glance, every touch, and every unspoken word becomes a battlefield of desire and restraint. As past wounds resurface, old secrets threaten to destroy them, and everyone around them seems to have an opinion about what love should be, can two hearts that have known pain and sacrifice find their way to each other? Or will the shadows of their pasts keep them apart forever? A story of slow-burning romance, royal intrigue, hidden identities, and love that fights its way through every obstacle.

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc) by kfacecookie

A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.
