For as long as Caroline could remember she renounced her tie to royalty, being an uptight, do-gooder that ran around in hot dresses, and bowed to men did not appeal to her. Her visit to England revealed that she was a part of a group of women that had been promised to the new Duke. Over her dead body was she going to marry some pish posh asshole.
The Duke of Lancashire was dead, and the eldest son Lord Silas Burton was meant to succeed him. With the condition that he had a suitable young lady to bear the title with him. Silas did not care for women; he saw them as spineless and weak, and their only purpose was to bear children. Will lady Viola change his mind?
A woman that hates men and man that dislikes women, would opposites really attract?

CURRENTLY REVISING. Expect updates but it is just the revision of the story. I hope you like it. They told me that everybody hates me. That I'm a spoiled brat, that I'm an arrogant girl with a nasty attitude. But why does everybody hate me? Simple, they know me. They know me because I'm the Crown Princess of the United Kingdom. Everybody doesn't like the Jamielle they were seeing. They don't like the new me. They don't like my attitude. The way I talk to my Grandmother. They just don't understand me. But really, they don't know me. They don't even know a percent of who I was. They told me, that the crown should be held with kindness and humility. It was not to be wielded like a sword as a knight does. I don't care how I hold the throne in any way as long as my sovereign is well and stable. I only have one problem, I cannot contain the pain that I'm feeling that I fell in love with my husband who arranged for me to marry. He was in love with someone and I'm diverting the pain in doing my duty as Princess. This was one mistake I made. The mistake of opening my heart to let the wrong person in.Complete
