The Duchess' Enchantment by CharmSingingWinter77

Annalise is everything a young eligible single noblewoman should be. Incomparably Beautiful, nicely titled and generously wealthy. However, being the sole heiress to the rich and bountiful Duchy of Goslar is proven difficult after her parent's death and the absence of a male heir, especially as the wealth is exploited by her selfish and vain Uncle and his family. In an attempt to salvage and regain the wealth that is so rapidly depleting, her uncle decides to throw every eligible, rich and titled gentleman her way, no matter how despicable and snobbish - but Annalise knows that it is only the half-truth. He wants to get her out of the way, so he can govern her Duchy the way he has always wanted, and bleed it dry. She does not know how or even if she can accomplish what she set out for, nor does she know why she trusts the handsome and mysterious stranger who offers her an olive branch -- and a solution to every problem she is currently facing; a sanctuary from her snobbish, vain and selfish family, the welfare of her people. Cassius is at his peak in everything; a thriving military career, a caring, supportive family and his talents praised in every corner of the world, what more could he want? But he is constantly reminded that, as a prince, it is his duty to marry well and produce heirs to benefit the empire. Cassius knows that every woman is only out for his title, wealth and unfortunately do not know anything beyond, court gossip, fashion and how to snag the most eligible lord - everything that he despises. After many years of searching and disappointments, Cassius becomes resigned to a life full of work, duties and responsibilities and refuses to make any space for anything else. But fate is colliding because when he sights the stunning, witty, fiercely protective beauty, he is possessed by a longing he cannot control. To claim her, he offers her an undeniable deal; the trouble is, will she accept? And will she ever truly belong to him?

How to raise the sword queen with kindness by MarianneApollyon

How to raise the sword queen with kindnessMarianne Tuvol Apollyon a stupid minor villain with no real purpose to the story besides being a nuisance. Yet, one day I found myself in the body of such a character who was destined to die after being used by the other, more important villains. Fortunately, fate had not abandoned me and granted me strength beyond the sensible limit of reason within this story. I was supposed to die, the empire was supposed to fall, the main character was supposed take over my position as the head of the house... at least in the story. Everything would be different now; I'll let the empire fall, but I refuse to live the dull, predestined life of a character. I'll turn this entire story into a sandbox to create my own country and rule. The main character will be properly retrained to become my strongest servant. I am Marianne Tuvol Apollyon.

The Four by Locatlie

There used to be a time where the world feared Locatlie. This time was merely decades ago. They thought that the Locatlie family was untouchable, they couldn't come near anyone anymore after the War of hearts. But the people that lived through the War of Hearts got soft, they either died or forgot it happened in the first place. Their children got children and those children forgot whom they were dealing with. Nobody thought that anybody could compete with Queen Julia. The queen whom brought down nations. Until I came along. You think Julia had it rough? Pfft. Her life was a fucking cake walk compared to mine- but lets not get ahead of the story. Julia might be the queen that brought down the nations, but I was the one that made them beg for mercy while burned them all to the ground. Important information: You can read this story without reading the Locatlie series, but it will spoil the Locatlie series for you. If you like books that close off chapters and you like reading long stories, read the Locatlie series first. :) Warning: This story contains physical abuse, mental abuse and sexual abuse.
